The 6th Annual eurothon is behind us. This event is all about a good time, seeing friends that you haven't seen since last season and catching up. There were the usual People's Choice Awards and the Dr. Ferdinand Porsche PROPER Award going to "Cosmic Bunny" Ivan.
Empire City Raceway and Casino played host to some of the sickest euros from the area and beyond. We're already lined up for 2010. Hope to see you there!

everyone has their ways, usually just wipe most it off with a damp MF towel cause i hate the shiny look crap unless its Mothers Protectant, clean it every once in awhile so that way it doesnt get filthy!

I usually cover the intake and use some light citrus clean( fantastic diluted with water) and use a rag. Then spray engine bay with a mist of water( staying away from direct sprays with electrical connects)

You're gonna actually trust Kev with a hose and mist of water? ha ha. Can you say TOTAL? ha ha....just kidding.....Like Steve & Leo said are good ideas. You gotta break down the dirt first so it'll be easier to wipe off and you have to stay on top of it often so it doesnt get all gonked up again.

This is what I use.....Spray bottle with water or whateva u wanna use to break the dirt down.....a couple of rags...in your case....and beach towel...ha ha. A used tooth brush to get around the bolts and to loosen any dirty :poo: grime.

Worse case senerio....run your car through the car-wash with your hood open...that usually does the trick. :rotfl:
