  • On behalf of THE SLING EXPERIENCE team, we’d like to thank each and every person who came out to help make this one of the most amazing Slingshot events ever! Although the odds were stacked highly against us with the pandemic and sketchy weather reports, the event was truly a memorable experience for all who attended. Although we had well over 300 Slingshots at the event over the weekend, we know that hundreds more of you wanted to attend but couldn’t… but we know you were there in spirit. We will catch you all at the next one!


    If you had a great time, be sure to leave us a review on our Facebook Page (BookFace for those who get it) here: https://www.facebook.com/pg/theslingexperience/reviews/

Thank you to every single vendor who came out, and special thanks to Banger Audio Sound Series and Tilson Walker for making the Audio Competition extra special. Thanks to the HUGE HEARTS of the Slingshot community, we were able to raise a grand total of $4636 for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation! WOW!! Congratulations to all of our trophy winners from the event: Leroy Tosha Dancy aka Redbone, Rodney Lee aka ROK, Chantel Bailey, Lucky 7, Rodney Poole aka SSToy, Kenyatta Martin aka Only 6 Speakers, Tonia Coston aka Black Mamba, Louie Bailey, Dave Michel, Robert Brinson aka Rabtech, Andy Woods, the SS22 Push Race Team, Mike Baldwin, John Henry, The Sling Ray and Sound Evolution, D&D, Ma Elena Smith aka The Mad Hatter, Nina with Underground Auto, Troy King, and the Spurs themed Slingshot. We had several media teams helping to cover the event, and we can’t wait to see all the videos! Thanks to GBI Ink for our printing, thanks to Melanie and Gabby for the administrative help, and thanks to Sam Baxter and Jim Economy for helping to prepare and tidy up our event space, and Doug and others who helped us pack up afterwards.


    There were so many great memories over the weekend, it’s so hard to share them all! Did you see the time that Mark stood up while driving when he was leading the ride to Galveston, and the sparks Storm was making while going over the Surfside bridge? Did you see the massive fire that came out of the back of Kris’ Slingshot under a freeway underpass, and that other dude with the flamethrower? How about how we took over every single lane as we rode down I-10 and then did it again when riding down Westhiemer the next day? How about the amazing police escorted ride that had everyone doing a "spirited ride" on the way to Mancuso Gulf Freeway, and the amazing fajitas they had when we got there? What about Andy Woods standing up while doing donuts, then actually jumping out of his Slingshot while it was spinning, and jumping back in?!! What about the Slingshot mayhem that ensued when Dave and Rab went head-to-head and destroyed their tires (and who knows what else) all in the name of a great show and raising money? Did you see the video of a guy leaning out of a truck window, and detailing Marks Slingshot aka QuickSilverSS, while doing 60 on the freeway?? How about all the smoke grenades and confetti bombs, and drones in Memorial Park? What about The Mechanics giving a live performance at the Kickoff Party, and the Slingshots lighting up the scene in the lighting competition? This amazing screen grab from Strada Media drone. How about those close photo finishes in the super-exciting Slingshot Push Races? Did anyone happen to see Storm accidentally spin out in the middle of one of the busiest intersections in the city, and ended up facing the wrong way? Whose Slingshot tried to take out one of the trees in our parking lot? (Thank goodness no one was hurt!) Can anyone keep up with Storm, Danna and John Henry in the twisties? How about the late night BBQ in the parking lot, and the Bombshells after parties? And the thousands of dollars in raffle prizes we gave away at the end of the event, including the bidding war for the Wind Restrictor prize and the proceeds going to charity? So many memories, so many experiences…. What was your favorite memory? THE SLING EXPERIENCE was off the charts, and we will only get better! Until next time!

  • What a bunch of Juvenile Delinquents. Atomizing rubber for no particular reason.


    I wanna play!


    That was awesome. Rubber raining from the sky. Apparently that cloud of smoke was reported crossing Arizona this morning...

    Remember folks - this isn't a rehearsal, this is The Show!8)

  • What tire did Dave have on. Think with all that traction and still had tread, think that is the tire to get.


    JUST SAYIN

    This is what I had on the back - https://highway-max-coloured-smoke-us.myshopify.com/


    I did go drive it a little bit before the burnout/doughnut and it was very unstable at just 30mph, fun for burnouts but not something good for driving. That tire took a lot of abuse thought, pretty impressed with it.

  • So, did Dave pop a hose or radiator?

    Neither. I just put the turbo on the Slingshot on Wednesday the day before we left and after the drive out there the first night the coolant system burped and so I added a bunch to make sure there was plenty in the tank. During the burnout the temp got really hot and coolant came out the overflow, engine and cooling system is fine :)

    It looks like any of us who have the FASTER RED slingshots with the 20" rear tire are S.O.L as these sizes end at the 18" ones. It sucks having a ride that's able to melt one of these tires, but not have them made in the size needed. I'm not going to DOWNSIZE to the SLOWER Grey 18" ones :):):)

    Nobody gets outta here ALIVE
