Sorry!!! But thank you for the opportunity!! It looks like @Sypher would hopefully want to take my place to help you guys out??

@NorCalGirl Gratz on the award and winning the raffle! I was really hopping to win the HRE wheels but no such luck for me =P. It looked like you were getting the drifting/figure 8's down pretty good Saturday. I tried a couple times. Found out i'm better at killing cones than doing figure 8's :bonk:

@86_ZN6 It was cool meeting you sunday. let me know if you need a car still to test and when you'll need it. I'll just have to make time get out to you.

Thanks! It was my 3rd DDA so it felt like I was getting the hang of it better each time.. Sorry I can't remember was it your first DDA or first time trying this kinda stuff?? It gets easier especially with the instructors who are amazing at pin pointing what you need to tweak in terms of technique.. Just keep practicing as will I! Thanks again!

that was my first DDA. I spent most of my time on the autox track trying to get times close to people with better tires. also I didnt want to waste my only set of tires before driving back home =P

I have been to a couple meets, the first one where I met you there lol was back in Livermore (won the raffle for the WORKS high performance filter) then a few small ones after that went on vacation for awhile and I'm back and trying to get back to all the meets. I have been to 2 autoX and the next one I do want to get on the track, just observed the last two. Live in San Leandro, Drive a Firestorm FT86 or FRS lol I'm saving up for the Rocketbunny kit or the HKS supercharger.

I haven't been to any meets yet. I think I've had my car for roughly 5 weeks now. (Just got my plates last week and made my first payment :/) I meet you down at 86fest. So far in the 5 weeks I've had the car I've been to one autox and 86fest. Though I will be driving in the stockton autox in the morning hopefully meeting a few more people. I plan to make as many meets as I can. Only tough part is living outside of the bay.

My plan for the car is to have daily driver/weekend worrier. I really want to make it to a track day but I think I'll wait until I have better tires and break pads.
