hopefully we don't get brand snobs tho

I'm going to PM the mods and see if we can get our own sub thread instead of just Canada. Maybe a BC? Or maybe we need more members qst haha

DaJo · 06-23-2012, 09:32 PM

Yeah, Canada is too general...lots of people in GTA with FR-S too.

Jay, I kid you not, put some rice in it or it inside a bucket of rice. It sucks up the moisture real quick. I know people have done this when they dropped their phones in water and just put it inside a bucket full of rice. Next day it's all dried up. Give it a try!

I went at 5ish today when it was raining already unfortunately. Felt kind of rushed and didn't know what settings were allowed or was already set up in the car. Either way, course was so-so with some cones out of place already. Was expecting a slalom actually. Right after I was done, strong winds came by and swept 10+ cones, LOL.

A few forums I've been on don't have sub-regional forums (other than Canada West & Canada East), but many make regional threads where people continue posting such as "Official Vancouver (or BC) FR-S/BRZ Members _____ (Creative name here)". That would act as a general thread for anything pretty much amongst members.

Ahahaha same here I was there from 5-5:30 everything started to fall apart ..

Ikaros · 06-24-2012, 10:31 AM

I'm still here lol. I just got swamped with summer courses and course registrations for next year

Went yesterday around 1-2 ish. It was pretty fun but the track area was way too short. The reps said me and my friend were going too fast, but I guess they got scared of all the screeching, so that was no fun. Wanted to go for round 2, but the line up was too long at the time. :P Not too bad, cause I would never do that with my own car, Lol.

I only slowed down at the "slow zone", where the suicidal camera man was located. But really, what else did they expect having a closed course test drive?

peazs · 06-24-2012, 08:37 PM

There was a slow zone? lol

IchigoIchie · 06-25-2012, 12:59 AM

I never heard anything about a "slow zone" but I went slow at the end towards the camera guy you guys speak of. o_o
