I plan to be there with my week old Hot Lava FRS. I won't be able to arrive until noon, or there about. Look forward to talking with other owners.

I'm not sure if I'll be going now... starting to feel sick!!! Still gonna try though.

Hey guys. It was great talking with the various owners that I was able to connect with at the event. I had a blast trying to figure out the right amount of oversteer rotation without killing momentum with my stock tires.

Does anyone know who might have walked away with my stock tow hook, that was in the tool kit inserts removed from the back of my car? I'm actually going to be taking my car to the track (3/16-17 already) and planned to actually use that tow hook. That was the only downer for the day.

Sorry you weren't feeling well Blain, would have been great to meet you! We had a great day in STX, results info here Sorry if I was un-able to chat with other BRZ/FRS owners that were there, it was a crazy day for me managing 4 drivers taking over 40 runs

There is another event this coming weekend, the 16th-17th, also at Marina. It's being put on by the American Autocross Series, & usually has VERY fast & fun courses! We will be there both days in the Edge Motorworks BRZ, hope to see more of you out there!

I'll be there on Saturday for sure, I might go up to Oakland on Sunday the 17th vs. a 2nd day down in Marina.

I usually really enjoy the AAS courses but they went down hill at the end of last year. Hopefully it's a good one! I feel super sick right now so hopefully I'll feel great this weekend!

I live in San Jose and would loan you mine for the weekend. I'll be at autoX that weekend and won't need it. PM me if you want to meet up!

group buy on factory tow hooks? I've been thinking of picking up a spare or two and painting them red for the next track day...

How strange! Me and Bobby been texting the last hour about tow hooks and possible group buy on them. Plasti-dip mine in yellow, nothing fancy and not an ornament for me . What other brands did you have in mind and $$?

oh man, great minds think alike haha. I was gonna hit up Bobby and see what he could do. I just want some OEM hooks, cheap and easy. I would paint mine red probably to be high visibility on track. I looked at the Cusco and Beatrush and they are just too rich for my blood at over $120 a pop. I would imagine the OEM ones can't be more than say $50?
