This was my first time doing 60+mph entries

I would have taken more vids but the hangovers and laziness got the best of me.

60+mph entries probably felt a little hairy the first few times Im sure, looks like you had some fun though.

Is there practice tomorrow at raceway? If so what time does it start, may go and check it out.

Howdy, is that your ad on CL selling the 19" G35 wheels/tires?

Open practice is every thursday at 12. I will not be there, the Z needs some TLC before I drift again.

I'm back.

840 total miles
13+ hours of seat time in the Z
New tires on the front end makes for a smooth ride
Conclusion after all this: I need a much quieter exhaust system

Anyone want to buy mine or trade for something of comparable value?

I'll probably detail the Z tomorrow. Weird how the front driver's side wheel has a ton of brake dust but the other side doesn't.

I hope not. I thought about that when I was at a rest stop, but I don't hear any grinding, squealing, or noise.

I was a little hungover but it was fun, I did a ride along with greg on the track and watched him miss the lines but that was fun too

When did they let people drift on the road course, late sunday?
I heard you were in helping chirs a bit that is rad, He made me come in wire in a relay for an electronic fuel pump in that corvette and wire in the electronic fan and run it to a toggle switch. Now I am supposed to help rewire that old blue ford entirely

Hey, Par!

I was just thinking about Chris and his shop today. Might have to swing by some day and see how things are going there.

Get some HFC. That will quiet it down a little.
