In the drift competition on friday I decided to go over to the S turn section. Right when i got there the FD RX7 spun out and the 240sx(s13) t-boned it. It was awesome.

Find a lightrail station near you and park there. Take light rail to Children's Discovery Museum. Light rail is the best way.

Crap... I missed all the stuff in the Discovery Museum area. I was riding the train away when I realized there was a stage and more booths and stuff there... like TRD. What did I miss in that area? What booths were there?

Yeah, and they took OUT the touring car races!

I miss seeing the Nissans, Hondas, Subies, BMWs, etc (the street car stuff) run races. They weren't as fast as the open wheels (obviously) but they went the most ***** out.

Nascar is more closely tied to IRL. Why did they come out to promote at a strictly road circuit race?

edit: Oh wow, I didn't realize they still had 3 ovals on their schedule.
