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 all of our premier event sponsors, Team Mancuso Powersports Gulf Freeway, DaBass Audio and Tint, Sound Evolution, Slingmods, and Greater Texas Risk Management. Thank you to our competition sponsors, Joey’s Illusion Auto Body and Paint (who also provided a lot of the free food as well), Mobile Innovations, DDM Works, and House of Sound. 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!

You know I'm trying my best to remember who on the forums used to say they ran 150mph in a stock slingshot... I swear I remember a thread on the dark side where some people said they had held their gas pedal to the floor for however long and it was over 150mph.
I seriously dont think terminal velocity for a slinshot pushed out of a airplane would be near 150mph....
I hear 150 and 155 often from folks. I personally have seen 140mph on my sling in a long straight away in Texas hill country. I had lots more room and climbing but I let off the gas because my wife was in sling with me. I really would like to get on a safe flat surface with miles of open area in front of me to see what speed I can get it up to. Although when I was in hill country I was already driving at 70mph when I decided to floor it and see what it would do I also do not know how much distance I traveled to get from 70-140mph. The folks who told me they hit 150 and 155 or more. Some I believe. Others I laugh inside and smile.
anyhow it was fun and I will do it again.
I do think the slingshot can get over 150.....I just do not know how far you need to go and at what HP.

Yes. Like DKF Texas said we will have more information on hotel options when locked in. Please everyone save the date this is going to be an amazing Event worth traveling for.
By the way as questioned above about if it is free or not and I followed up with the wording is being updated. Now it has been updated for anyone who may be wondering. Here is the new link. Slingarama: Slingshots in Houston – Slingshot Roadsters
I know its 7 months away but everyone please save the date March 22nd - 24th 2019. Houston, TX. Its going to be amazing!!

The wording is being updated on their sling-a-rama stuff as the $20 for the t-shirt they are offering is not a ticket, its for a shirt at the HOUSTON, TX Event called THE SLING EXPERIENCE. Entry to THE SLING EXPERIENCE is FREE. It is merely a shirt they are selling with profits being donated to a charity and the shirt is NOT required. Check the link for free tickets.
Free Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/t…ience-tickets-49196647497Yes I am sure it is FREE.
