We are also working on a car show portion to the event so check back for updates.

Media- If you want to shoot at PGP but haven't filled out a media app with PGP then email juli@pacificgp.com and ask for a media app. Then show up at the next event and sign in as media when you pay your entry. You will be given your credentials then. Again I say there are limited spots so I recommend you show up early.

Booooooo, they closed it to new comers. LokiMotorsports was going and asked Ninja and I to come and run but then this happened, booooooo.

Rant over.

Tweak, if your running, good luck to you and post some videos.

Hell ya I'm running! Last one of the season! Going to be a huge, awesome event. Got my ammo, I'm ready to go!



Got my little harbor freight trailer and hitch all setup and registered too. Excited to be able to bring all my tires in 1 trip without help.

Will do LCD, get your butt out here so you can join us next time! The track is too amazing to not. I saw your last video, and it looks like you guys have good fun, but the track is so narrow down there. You are laying down some good runs from what I saw.

After this event my cars going under the knife for some more fun.

Awesome. I'm supposed to be in the area, so I might be able to make it out to one last event. I had a good time there back in June?

Dibs on ride along this time! since I got robbed last time....

I'll eventually make it up there. But PARC and Loki run year around so you should think about coming down before you put it away for the winter. It's one of the most technical tracks I've ever run and will really test you and your car. Theirs a bunch of 240 kids out there that think it isn't that great and that they can run like pros but truth be told they can only link 2 corners at a time.... very slowly, lol. Drift fanboys.

I'll be there in the spectators section. No LSD, no drift.

Just a little graphic to compare the difference in PARC, PGP, and Evergreen at the same google maps zoom. lol



Yeah, parc is super tight. Are you mainly in first most the time? Just curious.

leftcoastdrifter

iTrader: (17)

Nope, all 2nd except for the back section which sometimes you can do in 3rd, depending on how much speed you carry out of the tight section.

Tomorrow!

Waking up early tomorrow to load the trailer onto the 7.

Going to be super hot, so if you come out, I really recommend some sun screen. Not much shade out there.

hey guys i was curious. Does anyone know if the event provides helmets for rent? and if so how much does it cost?


Thanks

Nice runs today Rob, was a great event.

Had a great time. I hope to make it to some events next year.

Thanks, but my name is Michael (Tweak) , I was just quoting Rob's northwestnissans.com post. lol I had a lot of fun, but it's time to shut the car down for the season and get serious. I need MOAR grip, more speed, and a lot more safety equipment. (cage mainly) Might throw a cam in there for the sheer stupidity.

Good to hear Ferrariferg! I hope to see you out there again next year! (if they do it again next year)

Thanks for coming out, I'm sorry but did I see you guys at the event? I remember army of 1, but it was a HOT busy day and I'm hella tired.

Came out of the event with only a sun burn and 2 busted wheel studs. Can NOT complain! Even saved 1 complete pair of tires! That's a first.

Video from Laren's cam. I was GOING to tandem the SR20 FC, but he decided to turn right on a left turn (must have watched the movie cars before coming out) and ate barrier. Ran out of tires towards the end of this session .

The family and I had a great time yesterday and I am happy to have made your aquaintance Michael (Tweak). You car looked pretty strong out there, you definitely have a good handle on your craft.

Jesus.

Thank you very much! Get out there sooner next time and get on the ride list! It's a whole different game inside the car! I love to give rides. Seeing a first timer's face light up reminds me of when I started drifting and being able to link the corners. I literally had a girl yesterday tell me I hurt her face from smiling so hard for so long. Makes the day awesome.

Nice to meet you too, sorry that I didn't have more time to talk and show you around the car and such. I had a hell of a time getting a sticky tire to bead, and when I busted a wheel stud I was a little worried. lol Hope to see you out there again next year.

Had tons of fun and I even remembered to put on sun screen! I ended up hanging out the Matt-Panic! and Mark-Panic! for most of the day. Did meet one member and we went and poked around my car a bit but I can't remember his screen name. I'm sure most of you saw my car since after making a gas run for Mark-Panics!'s Cressida I said screw it and parked right outside of the pits.

That was me Slammed_GSL that looked at your s4 TII, nice car.
Name is Lloyd.
Matt Panic's 73' Celica was built in my shop.

It was good to meet you.

Stay in touch!

wish I could have made it, I'll be looking for a ride-along next season... looks like a ton of fun! great video!

TweakGames

iTrader: (3)

That video is Meh, the only interesting part is when I literally left another FC in the dust.

Hit me up next year for sure.

If you guys don't mind, I will just post some videos of the event as they get released.

This a short teaser video made by David Hintze.

sounds like you could use some more camber up front... lil understeer. sick track though. cant wait for my ls1

TweakGames

iTrader: (3)

-7.5* is enough, perfect for the knuckles, and I have absolutely NO understeer. Not sure what video you are watching but it isn't one of my car.

You may be confusing the look of understeer with my wheels countersteering at ~68.5 degrees. I have not measured it recently after some adjustments. XD

Close to full lock, perfect contact patch.
