Big willow is my strongest track, I'll try to get you next time in June

Here's my list of shit I'm going to try and do to catch you:

Stop using street pads
Plastic Underpanels
Cover up the giant hole where the exhaust goes
go back to 245's
Drive faster (lol)

I'll see you guys out at CVR saturday. I wish stock class included rubber at 200tread wear and coilovers as my car is stock besides those mods. You guys will kill me in under class. I'm not on the driver's list but helping instruct for the saturday.

These are the kind of meets I like to go to! I appreciate you guys for lending input on the cars, what you've done to them and seeing what they are capable of in good hands. Us Vegas boys will be back again to play! Ted I didn't better my time from the 3rd session so congratulations!

Thanks and it was great meeting you guys too! I still can't believe we were 3(?) hundredths of a second apart lol >.< Hopefully you can make it out to a few more events this year. If anything - try to make it out for the Nov event at Auto Club Speedway! I think 86Fest is doing their event that weekend and there should be a ton of FR-S's/BRZ's in attendance.

I would be curious to know too! I had to take off a bit early with some out of town guests visting so I didn't get to see the final tally. I was just bummed my best time (2:10:070) came in the first session (again) T_T

But from what I was seeing from the first 3 sessions, the red group had an early ended 1st session which led to overcrowding in the 2nd session for both the red and gold groups and by the 3rd session the heat was at 100 degrees and wind was very strong so all the laptimes were higher than what we've previously seen at CVR. Nothing like tailing Robi around an apex and only to see a dirt devil/dust tornado coming right at us lol

I feel ya, I went through one at the last event in Turn 8 with my eyes closed lol

4th session cooled down quite a bit but I didn't get a chance for a completely open lap. Now after the event and talking to my roommate having driven the fast line I think I left a lot out on track.

It was soooo much fun! You guys were all so awesome and friendly! Totally worth the trip down from norcal. Definitely coming back down to do a few more events with you all. Please message me if you ever do Norcal events! I'll try to be there!

Robi and i cant say for certain but we think my front studs were stretching causing the weird vibration during cornering... The lugs wouldn't come off easily.

Also we corrected my tie rod issue which was only scraping the rim at full lock.

look at this:



On +42 offset 17x9 rims that we measured to be wider than 9". The new control arms and the new geometry that goes with it made this possible. No biggie. We just added a spacer.

I want to thank @robispec for the work they performed on my car the night before the event. Robi literally gave up sleep to work on our cars. This guy is dedicated. Thanks for your enthusiasm, track instruction and hospitality!

Thanks @CSG Mike and @CSG David for the thrilling ride in the CSG brz. Exhilarating! The Tein SRC's together with my experiences with the KW V3's I am sold on my next major upgrade being quality coil overs. They were so much more comfortable than the stock dampers and handled so much better! Night and day difference.
