we kind of have a setup like that UFC fighter. a sweet shop with lift, all the tools, etc, behind my parents house. my brother and his car CRAZY wife live 2 doors down. our 240sx buddy (v6 swap, tracks it) and our subie buddy (crazy turbo setup, built bottom end, tracks it too) live next door to him. our DA buddy lives across the street. i live a block away, as do my first-gen CRX-nut brother in laws (across the street from me)

i re-found my favorite pic of my car ever. shot while i was helping instruct ITR expo at autobahn this summer. there is something about this shot that just makes me happy. not the lexan rear wing. its hilariously crappy, and effective (only on for the track, i swap a different hatch on.)

I have to give props to Fresh'86 for taking those awesomepics, the photos you seen before where from my old sony 4mp cam (i need to buy a canon s95 arrrrrrhhhh)

Thanks for the comments, we should just chill wrench and track one weekend, it would be sick, and in general i dont chill with any efer (or honda peeps) in buffalo, they are too ricey for my taste.

michigan isnt that far away. we've had people come from DC, Florida, washington, etc.

its such a great event. nothing but 2.5 days of hanging out, bbqs, grilling, wrenching, tracking, and hilarity.

its also the cheapest 2 day track event you'll find.

i'd LOVE if you EFdiscussion buddies would come check out our meet, and if you want to make it "the official" ef nationwide meet, its DONE.

even if you just come to hang out, i can promise an amazing time, way better than your typical "meet".

saturday night we always put on a HUGE BBQ for the particpants and registered specatators, and anyone with a ticket gets entered into the raffle, where thousands of dollars in amazing parts are raffled off. MINT.

we'll probably have a dyno there again, there are always people selling parts, there are GREAT spectating areas, crazy time-attack and honda-challenge cars to watch and usually bum ride-alongs in, etc.

lets make it official, i'll get the site changed and we'll finalize the date within a few weeks. typically the date isnt announced until next year, but i believe chris signed the papers already and has the date.


CAMPING,BEERS, and SHITTY OLD HONDAS!

FF Battle yesterday with Ryan Der (White EK on the cover of Super Street last month) at Thunderhill Raceway. We had a great time! I let Ryan by and stuck on his rear for a bit. I was making him a little nervous so you'll see me go by him again at the end.

aaaand, I'm probably a couple hundred pounds lighter. That was session two of the day. Last time I ran there it rained the night before and the entire next day was cold, damp, and sketchy. By the next run I was feeling much more comfortable and we both didn't have passengers so I just walked on Ryan. He's fast, but my car is just lighter

think i'm going to switch from eCtune because my tuner just became a NepTune authorized dealer. i like the security features NepTune has and it'll work great with my TunerView
