I remember the days of swapping pads and tires the night before. Now I just park the car in the garage all ready to go. I packed last weekend! Gonna go get some Gatorade at Safeway and I'm good to go. I usually leave my house around 7ish and make it to the track a few mins later. Auburn FTW, but James and Keith know this.

See you in the mornings.

^ That's about the only thing Auburn is good for, except of course being the home of Drift Office!!!

jid2 - A friend of mine ended up being there as a spectator for a bit, he said your car was very impressive on the track. True story.

Yeah we all had a really good time out there today, nobody had any real issues. Just slow cars in front of me, rubbing tires for James, pad deposits for Jason, and lots of meth consumption and a few loose bolts for Keith. But that's all minor stuff - EVO power was in effect.

My car was running really good. It's nice to not have to do major work in between session like I did last year.

Plan on the June evening day with the Alfas again, and for May I'm doing the Porsche club.

You ever take riders? I'd be interested if so, and you didn't mind the extra ballast lol.

Freakin' awesome day yesterday. Ferodos are going in the garbage for sure now. Ronin, every time it's a blast man, can't wait to see you get some springs! Mad props to Caesar, having that work of art on the track is just bad ***! Jared, nice to meet you in person, your project evo was fun to watch walking me on the straights, so much powa!!!

The Go-Pro was acting up yesterday so I didn't get much footage. I did get a decent clip of Caesar and I going around together for a few laps. The S2K was supercharged and Caesar's car made my car look like it was standing still on the straights.

Nice video spool4fun. You guys lucked out weather-wise, a perfect day for lapping! I hope next Wednesday is decent but at the moment it looks showery. As long as its not a continuous hard rain, I'm good. PR is fun in the wet too.

Very fun track with a bit of everything. I was a bit intimidated with everything people were saying, but yeah, keep your wits about ya and it's an awesome track!!!
