Urban Dictionary says this about that…

flippy cup
A drinking game: Two teams of 4 or 5 people line up on opposite sides of a table. Each team member has a cup of beer. When the game begins, the first person on each side must chug his or her beer, and then place the cup on the edge of the table and flick the cup so it flips upside down. If the cup doesn't land upside down, the person must keep trying until successfully flipping, at which point the next person in line on their team may drink and flip. The first team to reach the end of the line wins the game. Mostly played by freshman college women and guys who are trying to get into their pants.
"That hot girl over there just challenged us to a game of flippy cup, lets go get them drunk!"

Ever hear the song "Parking Lot Party".... that's what we do.
 
10. I learned to keep a fire extinguisher handy so your Thunderbird doesn't become a Firebird.

9. I learned you can change a passenger side axle in the rocks. And then 5 minutes later need to change a drivers side axle.

6. I learned Jacob Royer hates his tires and even offered to let me do burnouts in his car.

5. I learned that Shane's Z06 goes 50-120 in about 3 seconds and feels like you are being launched out of a slingshot. It also takes on-ramps like its on rails.

4. I learned you can do 360's with a passenger and a laptop and call it "tuning" and that the short snout MPX is loud as hell even on the other side of the overpass.

3. I learned that Melissa Butler's girls are going to be future SC owners. They were loving the dyno competition.

2. I learned if you bring a friend to their first SC Shootout they will be back next year with their own SC.

Don't take that the wrong way. ;) We did beat a couple 2.0 AR's in the HP department with an M90, but there was also a twin screw there that was up about 100hp from us.

There were actually 2 of us twin screws above that M90...:p

I learned that I can load my car and all of my track stuff in about 15 minutes with a storm coming and that it takes about 45 minutes to re-arrange everything that next morning so my luggage can fit too.

I learned that I can swap all of my tires in the parking lot and put the car back on the trailer in almost the same amount of time that Neibert can do it using his fancy cordless impact :)

I learned that Brian's special cocktail sauce is awesome (and I brought a bottle home) :D
