A great time was had by all... Those that missed shoulda came.
A whole lotta Z's and G's from the Mid-A were rolling deep. A lot bigger than the first one that happened. It wasnt that crowded at the track either.
Thanks to Bernadette for the food and drank!! Thanks to John for being the grill master!!
Patiently waiting for videos and photos to be uploaded ..... .... ... ... Mike D and Corey are the only drifters in town anymore... Mooo ha ha ha

Had a great time yesterday at Summit Point with everyone. It was great to see so many members come out with their Z's and awesome to see corey, JB, goofy1477, Mike and anyone else I'm missing running their cars on any of the courses. I will definitely be preparing my car so that I can participate next time.
Big props to Mzbernadette for the food. Next time I'll bring a real spatula along with some paper plates, napkins, and forks!

This was a really really great time. That tripple skid pad is like a football stadium thats just paved and open for me to do my thing. I was like OMG...
I scoped it out for about 15 seconds then I was like....just dirt....no clifts (Initial D) no poles (most parking lots), no ditches (track)....just dirt!
clutch, second, release....OMG! I wish I could go back right now....Id take off work and leave if I knew I could get in right now....lol.
JB
We need to invest in a small 4' by 5 or 6' trailer for the Armada (Caroline or someone can drive it)
We need to lock down storage this week
We need to get about 4 sets of tires so we can really have fun.
I did 3 runs on the OEM 19s and they still look new.... the dirt on the track helps keep down heat big time, and as long as your not doing donuts and making big clouds of smoke, most tires should hold up, but every now and then I like to do some smokey donuts...lol
That place is awesome.....Caroline asked to watch Initial D tonight! WTH! Maybe she finally sees me going legit. lol
Next entry fee is on me man! I owe you and Mike D for this... Im soooooo going next time, please make a post for the next session. I believe its.....

Werd, definitly need a trailer for the Armada. You used the whole course I was mostly concentrating on doing controlled grid slides cause I was trying to get ready for the road course, which while I was a total fail I didn't do as well as I would have liked. I think next time I will spend a lot less time on the skid pads and get my actual course on. The runs on the course are better on the tires than the triple skid pad and 5 min sessions were way to long. I cut the guy back on mine to 3.
Had sooo much fun!!!!!

Although I wouldnt of went all crazy with them in the car, the next time they should ride on the dry track, its ten times more predictable and loads of fun, although the wet kept me out of trouble. If I went straigh to the dry, I would of ended up pushing it too hard by the end of the day.
no sweat man, well behaived kids you got there....good job.

Only problem with the one in May is that it is the same time as the F:T'd BBQ. So I know for a fact MDRacer76 and Myself wont be going to Drift Nirvana but the one in June though.. We are putting together a big meet. I think we should have some sort of Mid-A Z and G contest to make things interesting..
