happy thanksgiving everyone....

that redeemer video almost made me cry..****.

My dad never really gave me much but always took me to the track when i was a kid. he had a full bridge 12A Toyota starlet and he use to let me drive it when i was like 14 around the shop. At that time he was running 13 flat with it and it was mad loud, I loved it

He would take me to the mud races in Puerto Rico and when we got home my mom would flip the F*ck out because i was covered in mud. My dad would laugh it off. while i got yelled at. Thanks dad

If i get everything done on my Christmas break i will try and get some times in then. As for going straight for the 7s, i don't see that happening. I am going to go out at low boost for a little while and have some fun. It will be nice to know that the car is capable though, just in case i get a wild hair

I'd give anything to have someplace like that to ride! I used to race quads, but that looks amazing.

Ernie some people say that some of the best supercross riders come out of the west coast ,simply because of the weather permits to ride all year around , out here the mx scene is big, there are a bunch of tracks and alot of shops .....I only wish it was like that for rotaries .....

Not at all, you are entitled to your opinion just like everyone else. This is after all a public forum.
