Yea, double post. The more I thought about it, the more I realized this shoulda been here in the Sac area meeting/event stuffs. Whatever.

It's a drift event put on by NorCal Drift Academy. Takes place up at Tunderhill. Not a competition or a show. It's all day track time. I'll be at the drift side with mah' 240sx. There's instructors for all us n00bs on both sides of the track. Gonna be fun stuff. Email me at Sauranas31@yahoo.com or hit up www.NCDA.net for more info.

i'll try and make it for the grip

Its a fun event guys. I didn't drive last year, but I went as a spectator (and got some fun rides).

If I had a car worth tracking, I'd probably be driving too.

I was hoping the drift project would be done by this, but it probably isnt, I may bring the wrx up and tease the m3's some more.

Awesome. It's gonna be hella fun. I can't wait.

Oh, forgot to mention that registration is limited so reserve your spot now. Link below. I think it's $120 this time.

I'll be dere :D

Do you have to pay to watch?

Yea, I think it's $10. Just to be clear, NCDA doesn't make money on this. All the proceeds go to paying for the track rental, emergency type peoples, and instructor type stuffs. **** the $10. Come drift.

Oh cool. I don't mind paying but I was wondering if you need to pay in advanced to watch.

IIRC, the only thing you need to pre-register for is the track time.

yeaaa it's gonna be funnnnnn

Just learned that prodrifters Calvin Wan (www.calvinwan.com) and Hubert Young (www.willraceforfood.com) are going to be showing up. To drift, to teach, to have fun. Good times.

Dunno if ya'll need it being so much closer then everyone else, but Days Inn offers a special price for NCDA drift events. $45 for single occupancy. 530-934-4444 is the number if you need it.

Saw Nate signed up. Look for the light blue PoS 240 with mah black meshies man! I'll be on the n00b side of the drift event!

yea hopefully the rwd drift subaru will make it, I will be joining you in the newb drifters section ( I have no idea how this car is gonna handle )

see ya there!

-Nate

Oh, the day's itinerary is posted up at NCDA.net if you wanna take a look at how much track time we're getting :D

I plan to come out and watch/take pictures of the event.

I can not guarantee how well they will come out. But since the new toy (lens) just got here, at least I will look like I know what I am doing:

sounds like fun :D what size motor was that gonna be again?

It's the EJ22 right now (no time to swap it and deal with management), but I've got an EJ20G we'll be dropping in :D

ej22 with my old vf34 right? should be insta-boost... very nice for drifting.

Yea, well that whole idea might be put on hold for the time being. Someone host that damn vid! Yea!

Hows the finger?

Car still had the VF29 today. It'll have it for quite a while at this point.....

The fog sucked really bad so the pix did not turn out as good as I would have wanted them to but here are some of the better ones:

And of me? IIRC, you promised.

Don't take it personal :)

i'm not taking it personally, i'm sad becuase i'm a noob:(

i was driving the blue wrx that was getting passed all the time.

Which blue WRX?

Which blue WRX?

i think i was the only blue wrx. the only other blue subarus i saw were sti's. i was wingless, bronze wheels, 04wrx if that helps.

does your car have Brembos? The only blue WRX I saw looked like a wingless STi.

What happened to the legacy:( everybody okay.

I think I got a pic of your wheels :D

I dig the 57S, I've got 57C's on my wagon.

Your car looks really clean.

I think I had one of your car - look again...

Not the best pic but it is the only one I have...

Your car looks really clean.

it wasnt looking very clean when i spun and took a couple pounds of dirt and grass with me

thanks for taking the time to look for pics of my car.

What happened to the legacy:( everybody okay.

Everybody's OK. Trying to link/extend a drift, and couldn't quite get it swung back before touching mud, which facilitated a meeting with a few K-walls. The diff on the car was pretty loose, so Nate was having to feint and clutch-kick it to get it out, and it worked better at higher speeds.......which raises the stakes a bit.

Them's the breaks, I 'spose. Scott's a little sore and Nate will be too, I'm sure, but nothing hurt besides the car, which is all that matters. We can rebuild it, we have the technology. :D

All told, the car worked great, and the theory is definitely sound, as the car had great balance, we just need to iron out some kinks.

What happened to the legacy:( everybody okay.
yeah, did nate come out of that unscathed?

This should be you......

Woohoo, thanks for the pics! They make it look like I was actually going fast!

No, the shell is toast. But, the engine and gearbox are fine, so is the suspension seemingly, so it''ll all get swapped into a new shell.

This should be you......

yup, thats october.

great pics!

Whos blue 240 with black wheels, looks like some ricers car :x

Deffinate ricer. Word on the street is he's going to keep his engine stock and just work on the looks of the car. Damn half asian/half scottish kids.

And he can't spell 'definate,' either.

And now the moment very few of you have been waiting for...
