lol and thats why I'm throwing out options. Considering the way the weather has been flopping from hot to cold, an outside spot might turn out exactly how it was last time at sonic...freezing haha. your +1 for Cattlemens has been noted

There's an old saying, something about how it's not a real sports car if it doesnt leak oil.

From what I've heard, SCCA will let your car on the track even if you're leaking oil and blowing smoke out the tailpipe as long as you have good tread and your battery is solid. I also know a guy who ran his car at least once a month and he had a considerable oil leak. Said the techs didn't once ever bend over to check.

This is, of course, all totally unofficial and you didnt hear it from me. LOL!

If that's the case I might be down for an autoX once I get an alignment and get all my tread on the road I actually might be going with Ricky (8 with the wing) to the event since it's gonna be a drift event and I'm sure Jadrien is gonna be there

So meet on the 14th and track get together the 21st?

And also on a lighter note I saw Patrick's twin brother today at walmart lol cept he had brown hair.

April announcement*

So this month a lot is gonna be going on so there's plenty of options to choose from.

Tomorrow there's gonna be a mini meet at the me n eds in riverpark around 7. Pizza, drinks, and possibly a movie.

The following Weekend (first sat-sun of April) is the D1 event in long beach incase anyone was interested in that. Might go, don't know for sure yet

The 14th will be the actual meet by the looks of it at Cattlemens in selma at 7pm. I'll start a list this weekend, or someone else can if they want.

And the 21st is going to be the drift event in Fresno at the fairgrounds. Not sure exactly at what time it starts but we can all do a get together after for those that go to that.

The Fc is Cesar's, can't see his white blue rims from the angle. Fd is a guy that has been off the radar for a while lol. I've heard rumors about the cars existence but never seen it till now. The rims are MS-02, it's full Speed

Seriously, now if only we could get everyone together at once lol

You don't know if you don't ask.


If anyone in Visalia area wants to chill, whenever, shoot me a text. I think most have my number. I got a 6ft lounge pool table, garage, comfy chairs, beer/soda, no neighbors, park across the road.

If you want my number, just PM me (I get enough spam calls as it is without posting it on open forum).
