Tires came out great J, thanks a ton for your help the other day. Tires are good, one set of spacers didn’t fit my hubs (JCLARK :shifty) so I’m only rocking them on the rear, which apparently was a bad idea. They rubbed going over big bumps in the road when I had under a 1/4 tank. I filled up tonight. You do the math. Fuuuuuuu ---

No job at the moment owns me. haha howard put that pic on there, we had nothing to do with that lol we should have prices soon once we figure out finalize insurance and everything. If you don’t want to drift, definietly come down and watch or help out with a few things. Like Jay said, we will post up other details shortly such as drivers meetings, amount of cars, etc. thanks for your support shift-ers, let’s kick the season off right! ---

track layout is a big question still…we have a few ideas but we are waiting to meet down at the Valley again to actually walk the lot to look for any trouble spots. We are thinking it will most likely be a second gear course, so look for it to be smaller with some more linked turns. It’s all going to depend on what kind of space we have.

Can we have at least ONE good sized 4rd gear sweeper? That’s all I want, second gear transitions, but one goof long 3rd gear turn so we can see entry speeds up towards 60-65. I neeeeedddd ittt. I realize this is your guys deal, but if at all possible let me know when you’re going up to walk the course out, I’ll happily go with you guys and share ideas. I’m a walking think tank. ---

Yea pm me your number and I’ll let you know as much as we would like to do some 70mph entry speeds I believe that is beyond the scope and scale of our track and our drivers lol. but for cereal, we will probably keep it 2nd gear simply because its the first event and for overall safety. ---
