Anybody do any Touge up here in the Bay Area?

Anyone? Or is it just all my Korean friends....lol. Anyway, it seems pretty cool, kind of a drifter type deal tho, eventhough Subies kick *** at it. There are a lot of good roads up here, that I do know.

*EDIT* I should rephrase....real Touge, as in start and finish, 1 on 1, so as to avoid more smartass comments.

Welcome to 3 years ago.

We've been doing it as long as we've had cars.

my friend and i don't do real touge with like a start and finish but we go all out when driving. His favorite road is hamilton so we are always going at it there. Thats the fun of mountain driving, having someone behind you pushing you or you trying to keep up with someone.

Might wanna go to some driving schools before doing any "spirited" driving man. Seriously... I know you probably think you'll be ok and everything, and that you know your cars limits... but trust me, if you haven't been to a driving school or a track day, you don't know the limits.

Be safe.

Thanks for the warning...its good to see that I-Clubbers are lookin out for one another.

Im now 19, bout to be 20 and have had my RS for a long time now. I have been through a lot in it, and have been on a track in it, autoX'ed it many times, but no driving school yet tho....yet. Ive spun out, started to and recoverd, all that time and time again, at the track, and on the back roads. I am in no way saying im a flawless driver, i know im not, i know im not the best, but i am comfortable with my car and my knowing how it will preform. I have hit many moutain roads with much "spirit" before, its somethign i really love. I am also fairly cautious so i have kinda tought myself at what point i should back off.

Actually im in Novato. Transfered to school in SF and am living in Novato. So that, hopefully, should be a bit closer to you. I should probably change my profile.
