had a blast. brian, i need u k sports, my basics are too soft, and need some track tires, over all my car over powered my tires for the track, but it was a great learning experience, and now im addicted to this, auto x FTW.

i cant beat alex (alpervoich, legend guy) on the track, but highway, i pull on him all the time. haha.

Glad you had fun. its what i've been telling you it was gonna be like for a while now.

yea, ur 18whp over me really fucking kills it. also i definatly think you having a few hundo lbs and better gearing helps out a lot too. fuk my car is 15 years old dammit

onto the good stuff.

pre-autoX-cruise-photoshoot




AUTO-X




tom pulling on me on the highway, made me think. i need to pull my seats out for the event.





tom was already stripped



no radio, CF FTW








THE video. only one we where able to grab. (edit: ouch no html here :/)




POST-autoX-photoshoot. i may have over done it a little with the snaps but i managed to get ~20 out of 60 pics taken.
























































really? that is all. haha

Rajca, remember when I texted you that one friday asking what you were doing sat, this is what I was going to with my homie with his boosted miata, I usually go with him to most of these events to video tape him or mess around with my car, I can get a full schedule from him if you want, just elt me know.
