I've never even seen Ryan's car run, so I'm really looking forward to it!

And based off the information you gave me Casey, I probably shouldn't hit up Adam's track for a while. The risk of damage is just too high. Oh well, someday!

well... thats your call.

You should come out and check it out for yourself.
I'm not saying you will hit anything, I am just saying that the chance of hiting something you dont want to IS higher.... there is no disputing that..... but I also dont want to make it out to be like there is a lot of places to hit something.... really, its not that bad.

yeah, its definently safer than the canyons... and the risk is only as high as how hard you push your car! i was PUSHING my car but if you just go out there and have a little fun, there is no worry of even remotely hitting anything, and you will have a blasty blast

You know, I thought the same thing. I thought it would bug the hell of me, but mine is really close to fitting. Its about 3/4" from the wheel well (as apposed to the 1.5"-2.0" gap you normally see)

Maybe I'm just really good at fitting lips haha.

Its kinda hard to see, but it came out really well. Over-all I'm super excited.


Jason, GET ONE OF THESE hahaha

in the in car camera video, I love that you gave me the I love you hand sign... I love you to bud!

also, watch your self. you were connstantly taking yout hand off the wheel and acting like you were going to shift. you were also shifting on that back section to 3rd for a half of a second. its not worth it. that track in your car does not need 3rd. get it in your head "2nd gear and go".... I'm tellin ya, you will pick up time.

I wish man. I've got classes for the next 6 weeks on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-5:15 in Pomona. Taking the 60 or 10 freeway to Riverside from there would take so long that it just wouldn't be worth it to me. This summer I'll definitely hit up Adams though, hopefully including the occasional participation on Tuesdays.

I want one! I just know you wanted one wayyyyy more than me, so thats why I pointed out the 626 to you! But after I paid and dropped my junk off in the minivan, I came back in and searched for another 626. So if you ever come across one, let me know and I'll head down and snag the lip off it. Or if you happen to see an early model S13, grab the lip off it. But as we discussed, I think any S-chassis wouldn't last more than 20 minutes in a pick-a-part before its stripped to the frame.

Awesome, Jesse. Ron told me you were there kicking ***. I was working on my car myself so I didn't show. Definitely something I want to do. There was no way in hell I'd do a drift night but a grip night looks like fun.
