I got nailed with rocks! Me and my friend were in like a 4 foot radius of where they flew up, Hit me in the ear and cut it!

Anyway, started some editing. Doing Peters photos first since he popped my drift cherry today!

Wow, what an epic day! Epic doesn’t even come close to describing how much fun it was.

We broke 2 records this day: the biggest turn out and the most prepays EVAR! I actually had to turn people away from this event because it was just too full. But still, with 40+ drivers in attendance, traffic was never a problem.

Thanks to everyone that came out and made all of this possible. It was great to see some of the old faces come back to rip it up! And it was also great to see some new faces come into the scene!

I hope everyone had a good time!

Yeah! I had so much fun with the missle240sx. Now back to the shop to replace my 3rd gear syncro that disapeared, a steering rack with a stripped input and a lot of body panels. fenders, hatch.

Thanks to random guy with red coupe and Brad carlton for the taillight bulbs and harness.

Had a great time. Thanks Wayne and to all the drivers who made it a good time

Had a great time. Had NO problems with traffic, everything was well Organized.

Learned a lot, and got a bit over the fear of ruining my car.
