Nice yo!!! It looks like it was an awesome day!!! I was talking to Dennis and Kapil about it yesterday at Batlground. They said it was a great way to do things. No pressure of run groups... just a relaxed - drift-as-you-want atmosphere!

I'm glad you got to rawk it out down there! Next time maybe I can get in on the action.

10 drivers?!?!?!

How many tires did you go through? Awesome, sounds like a great time!

i got through 6 rears and was about to go out on the new kumho's they gave me but didn't have time after swapping tires again.

yeah man it was a great event... i'm going to start begging kyle to set more of these up as it's not hard to get together a group of 10 people to head out there

. you'd just got 3 full laps, come in and either get back in line or go change tires. they even got pizza for everyone

, although rob from enjuku also brought me some burger king for no apparent reason (i think they are trying to bribe me into driving for them

). just a damn good day all around, other than my car dying on the way back home.

alternator went out on me leaving the track... battery power got me as far as the northern most exit for gainesville FL, which happened to leave me amongst tons and tons of hot women from the university that happened to be off the same exit

. so i pulled the alternator off the car in about 5 minutes, took it all over to try and get it tested and of course nobody could do it and nobody had one. so i bought some electro contact cleaner and sprayed 2 whole cans through the thing with hopes of it working.... well it worked, but started getting 18+ volts instead of the normal 14.5 or so. so push came to shove, i started her back up, turned every electrical item in the car on and managed to keep voltage ~16.6 volts for the rest of the 5 hours home.

today a replaced it with a used one off a KA and i'm back in bidness again
