Originally posted by toyocresta Man I hella want to go and get some track time BUt my cars are g@y I have AE86 but not the GTS and a Focus Automatic but I might go just to watch
will be in attendance at NCDA's Grip and Slip, please come and take advantage of their generosity, learn from them, meet them, and at the least watch them do what they do best!
Thanks for the props to Calvin and I. We just want to go out and share our knowledge and experience and learn more as well as have some fun at the same time. Please don't hesitate to approach us for questions. We have found that drivers don't ask enough questions and we end up just chilling at events like this or Club4ag's Drift Days.
Besides my blue S14, Henry (owner of Motorsport Dynamics) will also be there with the infamous white S13 that had gone through so much in the 2004 season. He is just like a walking dictionary about cars, so get your questions about engine and suspension tuning your car ready!!
See you there!!!
