I just realized a couple days ago that the latest info is on their site forums. You have to sign up & check there.

Logan & Kat are just nice & awesome enuf to relay that info over here.

Last I read, you should be there by 7:30.

Nah, rain doesnt make it fun unless you own a 86 or KA

Then you finally feel like you have power

But if you have SR in the rain, its just like

womp
womppp

Not as fun as much as

yeah goddamn so much track time

ran out of tires by like 2pm

had to take it easy on some runs just to save tires so i wasnt done by lunch

lol

most of the day on the big drift course it was just maybe 3 people total in line

no run groups, just run whatever you want...autox, drift, small drift, skidpad, etc

thanks IDD

Super fun event.
I completly filled my car with tires and they still weren't enough.
The big course was awesome, top of third is so cool.
Too bad the surface of El Toro completly ate through a set of my ST115's in under 6 minutes.
I was out of tires by two, but I also drifted my roomates BMW 8-series, which was fun and surreal at the same time.

The autocrossing was a blast, I've never done it before, and still pulled off better times than almost every BMW M-car there.

I might start autocrossing.

Logan and Jay were killing the the big course.

Can't say I didn't try to make it fun at least.

But due to the layout, I dont think they would allow camera people in the spots that would make for good shots

Even with mega dick lens I think it wouldn't come out right

I wanted someone to stand at the apex of the big sweeper and take shots

LOL @ Yuri in the BMW

That thing was SWANGIN, OEM suspension style

Looked fun borderline scary

The wheels you designed looked good in person

My friend Allen came late but took some hard park shots of me and Jay to test out a new camera





For more pics and to see his work, peep here:

We even attempted the big course with it.

paraphrased:
Naoki: "Wtf? You can't take this car on the course. Is it even teched?"
Me: points to tech sticker.
Naoki: "Well ok, I guess, but you can't take a passenger."
My roomate: "Um why?"
Course workers: "Why not, we've been letting him take passengers so far. He's advanced, why not"
Naoki:"Well, I guess so, since you're advanced certified, even though it took you 9 tries to get it."
Me: "8!"

wow, that car was hard to freaking transition and keep from spinning on the big course.

Haha yeah, I should've said hi too, but it wouldve been awkward dude conversation haha

But yeah the BMW looked wicked scary when you were trying to break it loose

The course worker was like nah he's cool (when you pulled up in that thang)

But yeah the surface is kinda unforgiving at high speed

4th gear down first side then big sweeper to 3rd gear down the second side

I used up a pair of fresh Federals to the cords in 4 runs

Mad smokey and the bear though

wow, I wish I had the power to drift in 4th. I was having trouble keeping it in 3rd. I'd get to about most the way down the front side, and then have to downshift to 2nd to build up revs so I could get back to third for the sweeper.
First time I've actually had tires blow out in the middle of a run.

Yeah we were starting behind the grid, near the cones that blocked off the section to build more speed

I could stay in 4th until the big sweeper, where I'd downshift to 3rd

Then just mash it and waste tires into the air haha

Event was awesome, THANKS! Grip was fun since there were almost no cars in our group, haha.

Maybe next time, we can have a bigger track w/ more technical aspects

Oh yeah Yuri, those are custom powdercoated CR Kai's done locally

They were supposed to be silver silver (when they showed me the color chip)

But they changed the "silver" paint code mid powdercoating (without telling me) so it came out battleship gray-ish

I was disappointed but still came out fine
