Usually in a game you get a nice Tokyo drift. Some how this was clearly ineffective in real life

That was clearly the best $20 I have ever spent in my life!

Thanks Al for setting this up.

I didn't know what to expect since I had never been to an event like this but it was a blast. I thought we would be doing a 50km/hr cruise behind a pace car, was I ever wrong!

So here's my story.....

We are lined up to go out on the track and we are standing outside our cars. A small group of us are talking and one guy says the last time he was here there was an 8 car pile up so that's why he's at the back of the pack. Good idea I said. Its a long walk home with my family! The guy goes on to say there is a few blind turns and you need to know the lines. Ummm this is not what I thought we were doing lol.

So we head out and I'm staying way back from the guy in front of me. No way do I want to get piled up! I can't believe how fast people are given it!!!

So we make a few turns and I see one of the RX8 pulling off to the side with a ton of smoke coming out of the hood. Apparently it blew up!!!

Feeling a bit more comfortable I start to increase the speed a bit (bad idea I still have no idea where I'm going lol ). I thought I had "the line" but I clearly didn't cuz my two right tires went a bit off the track. Just enough to get my tires in the grass

On I go.... I can see I can close the distance on the straights with the car in front of me which I am happy with considering my car is not tuned and I don't really have a secondary ( I had to keep pushing in my clutch to get the revs below 3000 so it would transition again ). That should be resolved when I get my BNRs and new solenoids.

On we go. Continue to close the gap ( it was damn huge when I started out cuz I didn't want to get hit!). Rounding another turned just in time to see an RX8 spinning out!!

The lead car pulls us all off to tell us that we need to stay closer together ( no chance!!). I didn't go back out after the speach cuz I ran out of meth and I don't want to blow up like the RX8 did.

Great time, I only wish I had better tires, suspension, secondary turbo, and knew what I was doing lol.
