lol

Well I know that they have open practice at raceway park, I might go to the next one to get some more seat time. The EPDC guys helped me out a lot, they took me on ride-alongs and gave me pointers.

I found out what I did that I didnt get footage of the other one it some how got switched from video to camera. So it took one picture and that was it lol. OH well going to upload the video later tonight on youtube so everyone can see it, it's a 15 minute video. Sorry I had to take off sooner than I planned fellas but my dad was on some medication that you're not supposed to be in the sun for very long so I needed to take him home, he's on some medication that the doctors think that he might have lime disease but he or the doctor are unsure so as a procautionary they have him on this medication.
My videos didnt turn out well either i only did my first run also when i had to pull off the track for like 30 seconds because the guy in the s2k trying to keep up bit it off in to the ditch!

Anyone know a place to get decently priced seat rails? I found a pretty slamming deal on some sparco seats.

You're killin me. The mod bug has really bit you, and I'm stuck in a holding pattern.

The sad part is that I moderate the marketplace, and it's so tempting to buy stuff.

I washed the Z yesterday and noticed how badly chipped my bumper is. I really think it's time for a respray and a new look. I just wish it wouldn't cost $500 to do it.

Alex did you spring for the aluminum side rails or stick with the cheaper steel ones?

Dave yeah it has been hitting me the day i got the car I just have been running in to some crazy good deals, before I buy anything though I need to sell this damn procharger kit. Also my bumper is pretty badly chipped already
