    Default couple of pics autocrossing the car again...

    i almost took the truck and tailgaited in the parking lot with a grill while my friends raced instead but they talked me into racing the last event of the year. i didn't feel like wasting my tires but i caved in and ran it. it was cold and the car loved it, but the tires didn't. the car was running flawlessly but i couldn't get traction for crap since my tire are not designed to get traction under 50deg or so. it was just a big drift fest for me. i had a ton of fun tho and was running faster times than a gunmetal silver 99 viper GTS that was there and some evo's and sti's. im sure the pro camera man that was working the event will put his shots up soon but here are mine...

    hard parkin in the pits.


    throwin up some tire smoke...

    i used to, but i can't break the daily driver. especially with winter coming. plus the truck is stock hight and i don't think the brakes are up to it. i don't have enough control over the gear selection in the truck either.

    i love the truck, i just have a better racing option in the garage

    some day ill pick up another daily driver and start to build a 408/5-speed combo for the truck with some good brakes, then ill race it again.

    Yeah you should really build the speed combo. Racing is fun and it makes you more close to the rig you own. The pics are superb. Keep posting more of it.
    Chill out, what you're waiting for.

    Wow this was an old post from 3 years ago. Lol. Thanks guys, the car has had a ton of mods since then. Check the vid links in my signature for up to date race videos with the gopro camera.
