That's the "Ninjin technique, " don't worry about using the brakes, you'll stop without them eventually.

Nice! Hopefully you have success. I know there was someone filming us with a DSLR as we were rolling into the pit before the start of each run. Would be cool to have a link to that.

I'm new myself so you won't be alone in feeling awkward :P

Looks like I will be able to make it after all. My g/f and her daughter are going to a concert at Cricket Pavilion, so I will drop them off, head to the meet, and hang out til I need to pick them up again.

I totally agree with you. It is hard work and takes a ton of time. However, you will never win over everyone with the design. People spend a ton of money and time in their cars and there will be people that absolutely won't rep the logo. I already stressed how I am not 100% into this design. I am a little bummed that we didn't have more of a "club" decision on the design, considering that's what this represents, "our club". And if we did I apologize I missed the memo . When I posted yesterday on an idea, thats simply what it was, an idea. I was unaware we had come to a conclusion on the final design and that was my fault. If I had known that, then I wouldn't have posted.

That being said, I personally will be repping the logo. And I am doing this not because I necessarily like the design, but because the logo means more to me than the look. I have spent a lot of money and a TON of time with you guys. I have learned a bunch from you guys. I have had more help from you guys than my own family members, whether it comes from working on the car, or helping me move. You guys have always been there and that is why I will be repping the logo. To show my appreciation and thanks for all that you guys have helped me with and will help me with in the future. To show other people with the same drive an awesome club to be a part of. The logo means more than how it looks...

And as long as I can have it in green
You have that green vinyl? If so save some and I can make you a decal with it

Some of that is my fault, Brent gave me his camera to use and I was doing a pretty shitty job of learning how to use it. I was mostly just playing with the menus and kept forgetting that I had a camera I could take pictures with. lol

That's the plan. I'll give you enough to the full decal but I'm having Win (the girl from Fuzion Tecknique) do the 86 in matte black since she has the material. Then I will just pull the 86 that is in green and replace it with the black. I gave her the dimensions for the 86 so it will be exact. Also would you be able to do other cuts as well from other companies, ie Invidia, Injen etc...

My initiation to this group was at a coffee rush meet after driving over 20 hours with my dad the previous day moving to Arizona from Indiana. I first met @jeffsides and @thesleeper was extremely nice in including my dad and me in the club discussions. @SMOKETREES had just installed his xxr's and really liked my password JDM stuff.

It's not an exaggeration when I state "instant friendship" with these people. It made being away from my wife and son a whole lot easier.
