Sorry to hear about the wreck. But, how I post pictures is by using "Photobucket.com" s thing. Really simple. If that doesn't help you...I'm not sure what will...hahaha. Kidding.

Hope that helps.

I'm really really glad everyone invloved is going to be fine after something like that.

Please, let's all remember this next time we feel like driving in pouring rain is OK with 'ultra high performance summer' tires.

when this happened it was not pouring rain... i think the only water hitting my winshield was from the ground getting sprayed back up, but yes at the end it was pouring, which is why we stoped. But i agree, not a smart tire choice for wet..

I am planning out another group drive right now, most likely early june, and this time we'll have it more organized as in who normally wants a higher pace and who wants a slower one. so that all the fast people go ahead and just pull aside every now and then into a lot and wait for everyone to regroup and then head on out again. this way it doesn't really pressure anyone to speed because they feel like they're slowing down the group. especially driving in the rain like we did today, everyone should take it at the pace they are comfortable with. thanks to jon for coming out and reppin my350z even though he was the only one. we had a nice turn out today pre drive it was 14 cars. (two s2k's, 3 evos, 3 wrx, one 350z, & 5 sti's. A total of 8 made it on to skyline and everybody else was held back because of the unfortunate accident.

but other than that the drive was fun, on skyline we let the faster people drive in the front so that people wouldn't feel pressured, especially my friends in the s2k not having that much traction cause of their tires. and every now and then the front people would slow down to let everyone catch up. when we went down 84 it was great just nice leisurely drive. definately next one when the sun's out we would be able to enjoy it a lot more. i'll post up a new thread soon on the next drive.

i have the pictures, but i do not know how to post them up, hahaha newb status. can someone tell me?
There is a reason many of us who used to do drives all time don't anymore: because there is always someone who DOESN'T KNOW THEIR LIMITS and crashes.

If were any of you guys, I'd not organize drives unless you know EVERY person driving. Some day some rich kid is going to die, and their parents are going to try to hold the organizer or this Alex (site owner) responsible.

at least it was the car that died not the drivers, that's much more of a relief.
