^^ I didn't read that into it. I see it the opposite. Lots will say that an N/A is more reliable.

That pearl white FC looks nice.

Was the s2000s and Subies there or was it just the FCs and one jetta like you described?
ok cool, hopefully you can make it out sometime. yea those S2k guys were there as they have been for a while, some AE86ers too. oh i forgot that guy with the RE amemiya FC (Grey) was there too so that makes 6 FCs.

tonight was the ****. MAJOR wet drifting. It was perfect........ there was only a few cars but we all got some good stuff in for sure...Even drag raced a bum...... rolled over to the crossroads, but just a bunch of standing around. Seems like spoiled highschool students. There was a widebody FC there as well as some nice 240's.
I pulled my best drifts tonight for sure........ Black line is a nice left, blue line is the best line so far for length.

did you guys do all that? Really?

Now, are we going back and forth from one week to the next? Are meeting at Autobacs on Friday? Or has it just split up?

heres the other spot we went to. Very high speed. the yellow line in for the truely gifted (not me!) Steve pulled of some REALLY nice drifts here.

Im hoping that the meet hasnt spit up cause id like to see everyone in ONE place. No one really likes autobacs for the fact that everyone just stands around and OC cops are nuts. Last night there was absolutely no cop action at all, even with the loud echoing sounds of drifting. If we can get the word out, we can get everyone in the same place.
