see you there!

weather says it's 30% chance in the morning, clearing towards the afternoon...I'm still going and bringing my R-comps - praying for dry weather!

So the day ended up being perfect - overcast, little wind, dry. With 5 runs each, and a portion that I had to hit 3rd gear, it was a hard day to beat! (I had a very nice spin just after getting into 3rd gear...guess I was getting a bit too excited!)

Thanks for the info. I'll check it out next time I'm there. Would they happen to be the '07 one w/ the hood buldge?

Yup. Lone 350Z in the sea of RX-8s (and one Porsche).

285s. Yum.

(Well, at least if it doesn't rain...)

Would love to do some more auto-x now that I have a decent set of tires, but Bremerton is too far being that the car is too low for the ferry.

Guess I'll do that last event at Everett in Oct.

the drive there isn't too bad - it takes me a little over an hour from Newcastle/Bellevue. It's only quicker to do the ferry if you time it perfectly.

Sorry guys, I really did poorly on Sunday in the rain.

I guess I cooked my front tires at the Evo school last year. They don't grip too well in the wet.

No worries. You were out there to represent and that's more than good enough. The rain is the Z's bane. How do you neutralize the Z's potential? - Just add water. I heard you kicked butt in the practice when it was dry.

OMG! You're back! Glad to see you're still around. Lurking all this time?

I can't remember the last time I've read something posted from you.
