Holy Moly!

Great pics everyone! Great job to all who put this event on! I love OCIC and I REALLY hated to miss this one! The pics are so good I almost felt like I was there after looking though them.

I have one question. I noticed a red GTS with PanAm wheels and the thing I am interested in are the non-stock air intake tubes on the engine. I need a new pair for my '95 (one was crushed by the deer crushing the hood and I thought they were going to replace it but they didn't...I guess $27k worth of work was enough already!) They were black and red if that helps...PM me if you like.

Jarrod congrats on the street class win my friend! I think you would have taken my '94 even if I had been able to get it there. I needs a REALLY serious paint cleaning right now...bigger job than I can pull off. Need to call in the pros! Velvet Hammer looked spectacular in every pic I saw of it!

Tom Middleton and I just rolled into Ogden, UT. His GT is running like a top, definitely likes the sub '90 degree weather better than the triple digits we saw on the way down. 12 hour day tomorrow, should be home in time for dinner with the wife and kids.

Another great OCIC, great cars, great people.

Lots of great pics so far, I'd thought I'd contribute a few which I've collectively entitled:

SIX WAYS TO HIGHER CAR INSURANCE RATES or,
SIX REASONS TO HAVE YOUR TRAFFIC ATTORNEY ON SPEED DIAL (in no particular order):

1) 928 Motorsports centrifugal supercharger
Kevin F's '83S


2) 928 Specialists Autorotor twin screw supercharger
Andrew O's '91 GT


3) Murph's centrifugal supercharger
Kurt A's '87 S4


4) Either an Andy Keel or early 928SP with Eaton supercharger?
Ralph N's '88 S4


5) P9 Motorsports Rear mount turbo
Mike V's '87 S4





6) Precision Autoworks 6.5L stroker with Simard ITB's and cams, and a whole lot more
Andy G.'s '93 GTS

Better make that "Seven Reasons"...
Sean R. installed his new supercharger onsite so quickly I forgot about it.
Very nice self contained unit, looks like an excellent "stage 1" system (non-intercooled/low boost).
Hopefully see some dyno numbers after the car gets back to Texas and gets the benefit of a full shark tune. I believe that these will soon be available at your local 928sRus.

Better make it "Eight Reasons to keep your attorney on speed dial" My Rotrex kit that we installed at the show is up and running perfect. Wow!

So this was my first OCIC, and I gotta tell ya I met a ton of nice people, and OMG what a beautiful display of top notch 928 cars. I did not get the chance to meet and or talk to everyone because I was busy supercharging both Seans and Robs car. But I can tell you that I talked soooo much that my braces wore a hole in my lip and cheek OUCH.
There was another car show in down town Saturday night, and it was sooo funny to keep running into 928 people as we were walking around downtown checking out all the cars. There was this railroad underpass where everyone was doing burnout and it was hilarious! The people in Wichita were very polite, and the only sucky part of the whole deal was the walk back and forth to the conference center in the 100 degree heat.. haha

TOP NOTCH GUYS AND GALLS!!! I'd recommend this to anyone that has a 928!!!

Oh yeah.... and I won this great Porsche watch as a door prize

Hey hey Victor, it was great to meet you and watch you work the SC magic. Thanks for coming and making the effort to do TWO installs during the festivities. Isn't that Automobilia Car Show and burnout action unreal? It's like back in the fifties or sixties, and no problems with bad behavior even with many tens of thousands of folks checking out the hardware in the heat. Fortunately it did cool off when the sun finally went down and people were having a pretty good time checking out every stripe of car from rusted out Rat Rods (which I love) to the new stuff. Lotsa car people enjoying eye candy.

Thank you to everyone and especially Victor for putting this awesome hardware on my car. What a perfect kit. Also thanks to Jerry Feather and Sean for having some tools that we needed for completion. I know I am leaving a few people out that came up with a few bits that we needed but just thanks to everyone. It was unreal to meet so many great people with so many greats cars in one place.

Default OCIC Tshirt and POLO

i tried to post info and pics friday night, however i had to pay the hotel $2.50 to get 'internet access which ended up being too slow and kicking me out every 2 minutes. so i gave up and then they offered me 'better internet access' for $10-no thank you. I think mostly we are all much too busy having fun visiting to post.

I have a few OCIC Tshirts available in XL and XXL sizes for $15.
I am taking orders for the White Embroidered Polo this week for $25.

Reposting this... I didn't get an answer and I think it got lost in all the AWESOME pics folks are posting:

I have one question. I noticed a red GTS with PanAm wheels and the thing I am interested in are the non-stock air intake tubes on the engine. I need a new pair for my '95 (one was crushed by the deer crushing the hood and I thought they were going to replace it but they didn't...I guess $27k worth of work was enough already!)

A special thanks to Jerry Feather for the battery jumper pack and making sure nobody went thirsty!

Here are a few of my shots from the show....
GREAT JOB SQL!!!!! Had a great time with you and look forward to hanging out again.

I'm working on a video and will post when finished. Richard
