You're really going to learn best by driving. Spend the $30-$40 and just do it. I thought I could get a good idea by observing and riding, but the BEST experience was having Scott ride with me and show me what I was doing wrong as I drove the course.

I was going to be there, but I'll be out of town instead.

You can usually get a better deal when you buy all 4 at once. And here's an additional $100 off when you buy all 4.

edit: it is a mail-in-rebate, but still $100.

It costs the same in the end. Instead of buying 2 now and 2 later, just put the money back now and buy all 4 later. That deal will expire probably, but you should still benefit from buying all 4 at the same time. Depends on where you're buying them I guess.

lone star is a drift event that is going on tomorrow and Sunday. I think it's two separate events held by the same people back to back. Should be fun. Me and the misses are going with Jake.

I need to get back out to an autocross. School has just made it impossible to keep up with it. BUT I might be picking up the new car today so maybe I can catch one before the summer ends I'll sure miss the z though

If I can make enough money working in the next or so or however long they still have work I want to get a second set of GT-R wheels and get some R888's for AutoX.

The new tires I have on the front feel nice and grippy as of now though, so we shall see.

Pat, I'm signing up now. Got back too late last night and was already half asleep.
