So I haven't seen any replies to the thread about the karting event next weekend. Is anyone still planning on going? My buddy and I are wanting to go, but where's the interest?

Show was pretty cool. Different from something like a Cars & Coffee and that's the only big meet I've ever been too. It was fun seeing so many cars I never knew were around Dallas.

Sup Guy's & Gals.....I had a great time in So.Cal.

Saw some old friends and had a blast with my family over the 4th of July.

But I know you could care less....you guys just want to see these pics of the Ferrari I drove....All I can say is that it is freakin' awesome !

It's good to be back home tho.

Q, lets just say I did hit the Rev-limiter !

That car accelerates so fast...the steering wheel lights up with LED's on it so you can tell where its at. I hit it in second to third and was plastered to the back of the seat.

Funnest car I've driven by far yet ! and the GTR was a close second.

Really I just walked around once with friends and bolted..

It looked VERY disorganized and I heard ALOT about the after party that was "cancelled" (prolly never was setup since it was never approved by the hotel) and the judging late at night (with the lil flashlights)...HA!

I did get to see some shops that I never knew were here locally - so thats the only thing I got out of that..

I saw you leave right when I got there. I maybe stayed 45 mins..

So I think I'm gonna just buy some 06-08 brake calipers and rotors instead of the oem brembos..... wayyyy cheaper and significantly better than what I have now. Plus they're stupid easy to find.
