Did you see Gordon and his orange nb1 I tuned last week?
Did you track yours?
I couldn't make it

I believe I saw an orange NB1, but didn't talk to him.
Yes I tracked the Miata, car has ridiculous amounts of grip.
I was wondering if you made it. I spent a good amount of time talking with the guys at trackspeed and Blackbird Fabworx yesterday, and got a ride in the Blackbird NB1 with tuned VVT swap.

~3000lb racecar... Bunch of spares? Two cars would be nice. Figure 8,500 lbs. Get something that can pull 10,000 to be safe?

Also maybe daily drive it. But it would also be driven long distances in general so being comfortable is kind of a big deal.

IDK...

Newer F150 or Silverado/Sierra with the heavy duty trailer tow package. Both are rated for at least 10,000lbs when properly setup.

Nice. One of my buddies was there in an Exocet. They had a hard time getting on the track.

I thought my weekend was relaxing. I hurt my back somewhere between Sat and Sun though.

AutoCrossed a Super BRZ yesterday. That was interesting.

I don't know what I would do with the bed though. It would be such a waste to me. An SUV seems much more useful to me and what I want to do. I'm definitely not swinging anything new. I'm thinking like a $10k budget.

**** like this:

2003 Ford Excursion Limited Eddie Bauer Diesel

Is massively appealing to me.

Party chicken crossed the road I guess. We ended up putting the chicken into the birthday boy's bedroom so he would be surprised in the morning.
