The site says 97 350z's confirmed. That's only 97 350z's that ate at Red Robin. I didn't sign in. Also, there were a good 30 G35 C's and S's. I would say another 20 other makes and model cars. Just a huge meet..

Yea, no oil leaking or anything but my passenger tire is gone. The inside sidewall got slashed, found it flat this morning.

He didn't have radar, just saw the Zizzle take off. Luckily he was cool and not a CHP.. I don't think a CHP would have let me off the hook so easily.

I put that end link on (or tried to).....that nut was dead center on, and it ate the shit out of those threads.....I've heard of self-locking, but self-destroying?

Ted was pretty busy at the meet. Lots of people asking questions. I didn't have a chance to chat with him about the chip.
Did you see his wheels??

well i brought them the whole setup and they said, the nuts go down about a quarter of the way, then they get harder to turn. which is what he did, this is ridiculous
I think that road to Comptech was a good run, and we should do that after Glen n Marlene's on our way home more often
It doesn't beat the hard-core twisties that are after Glenn n Marlenes, but it does give us a nice run to digest our food

But it is probably more traveled than the other twisties and hence, better patrolled
. None the less, it should be added to our twisties list.

True, i keep forgettin' that my car has SS when it comes to the twisties

I think one of these days, we need to go hit the HardCore twisties, and then come back to Glenn n Marlene's for lunch. We and drive straight to the twisites to save time
