But you are out there running your car, improving your time each run and doing really good. The rest of you don't even put your car on the track... (I'm just messin' with you guys, it's all in good fun)
Oh, and my spin out rocked!

Yea, KC can't take his on the track till he gets it broken in
Hell yea it did, you only spun out once, but almost hit it 2 other times right?
You all should come down to my house and see what WRC is like. The 1.5 mile gravel road leading to my house is great fun! You would not believe how well our cars do in loose rock. I haven't taken the snow tires off because they have great grip. Have you ever done an e-break 90degree powerslide on back country road?
No, but I've done a 180 e-brake slide in my old car at 50mph. It's fun, but really hard on the car
I think you guys need to go to Gingerman Sept 11th and drive a real road course with me

I've never done a bootlegger reverse. Would love to, but I would be the granny shifting sucka out there. I need to get my evo tranny beefed up. The 04 GSR has an open diff front end. I need to get LSD up front big time before I do any kind of track with my car. I will end up crying all the way to the flat bed tow truck place with a broken diff if I raced my car as is.

Nope, I'm going to MAM Saturday. I just go there alot because it's such a fun course and the people there are really cool to hang out with, plus it's nice to get the hell outta this state for the weekend
I'm usually pretty nervous to leave it anywhere.

Welp, you guys missed an incredible day at MAM! What a blast!
I didn't get to run my last 2 sessions. I was out on track (in my 5 session I think it was) and kept hearing a strange noise and was scrubbing my tires pretty good so I came in thinking I'll add a few psi to the tires and I'll be all set. Well here is what I find:
(This was only the 3rd lapping event on these tires. I screwed up though I didn't get them heat cycled, so I think that's what caused it. This is the worst, but the other 3 are toast as well)

ouch. You've had tire issues before, but i'm glad you've spotted them.
Yeah it was weird, I heard a noise that wasn't normal and felt the tire scrub bad so I just slowed it down a bit for a couple laps, the noise didn't go away so off the track I went. Kinda scary, it could have been bad news if I pushed it for another lap.
