im gettin there...its my launch obviously.

 

alot of people assume that it rains there when everywhere else is raining..but you'd be suprise...

good job Tom...

 

good runs Tom...it was a overall relaxing night at the tracks.

 

x-factor good job on improving.......just practice your launching.... (",)
i wish i can take my car to the tracks already but i can't!!!!

 

That was totally cool last night with people hanging out and racing (lot of cars though, so not much racing). What do you all think of me bringing a mini-grill or something to complete the "tailgate party" atmosphere?

 

im gonna have to go ahead and agree with the minigrill idea, that was some of the most fun ive ever had at the tracks, good times yall. we definitely need to do it again.

 

ALEXIA, bring the grill...but make sure that we grill away from the cars....

 

BBQ TIME? I am down!!!

 

i got the hamburgers

 

Theres only 1 location, that we can do it....as soon as you enter the tracks make a right all the way to the right corner...near the fence line by the outside road...

 

Redondo's(sp) hot dog

da bes kine!!!!

 

Okay, I'll be bringing the grill and some sodas (a few cases). Anything else? I'll be bringing the Forester too...

 

cant go this week, i work every other friday/thursday. so i will be off for the meet this thursday, but next week for the track. damn!

 

wow you got 3 cars??

 

It's not as impressive as it sounds. The Miata was only $1K. The Audi was also dirt cheap. The Forester is actually my roommate's (but he's never here, and I do all the maintainance, so I use it). The STi is the only car that's cool. And despite all the good deals I've happened across, I'm flat broke... And I'm no better a driver than when I had one car. So don't try this at home kids.
