man, new tires were great, but being thrown around during turns sucked trying to keep up with you Advocate. I had 1 huge major close call during the backwards run, man....

I liked how those same 2 cop cars came up to me you and Computerlover after 2nd run.

O and i bet your ears hurt, pulling 5k rpm

Dang I'm tired. As soon as I got back from the meet, I had to do some scholarship stuff. Just finished now.

Anywho, great meet. Sorry if I forget some of your names. I'm terrible with names. Anyway, why did those cops talk to you guys after the run back?

O we were at the bottom of the mountain just parked on the side talking, and 2 cops roll up. No drama tho, we left with no incident.

While we. Were all just talking at the gas station some old piece of crap truck I guess tried showing off since he seen us. So he hit the gas at the light and spun his tires turning the corner then into the gas station, only bad thing besides how ugly and piece of crap his truck was, was that there was a cop sitting right behind him when he dis all this. The cop followed him into the gas station and flashed his lights bam cop said " STAY IN THE VEHICLE" lol ended up taking him out hand cuffing the guy and serching him then he gave him some DUI checks, then finally like 15 mins later the back up showed up and started searching the car and this time we thought it was time to roll because of a certain unspoken of mod to a certain persons car. So what happened after that I don't know.

Some idiot in a really old truck swerved over two lanes into the turn lane and burned some rubber in the process.

Then he gets up to a light and slows down almost to a stop then peels out and runs a red light and burns rubber right into the shell station...

Two seconds later a cop comes into the shell that had been following him and he gets pulled out of the car and cuffed haha.

Yeah, it was pretty retarded of that truck driver.

But yeah, I need a rear sway bar! hahaha. Fear of sliding off the cliff doesn't help either. lol. Give me an open parking lot set up with cones, and I'll tear it up. hahaha.

Well becoming good is pushing yourself to the limit and then exceeding it just slightly every time until your comfortable. Although this run i didnt push myself that hard cause whenever im on wet pavement its hard to judge when the tires will start to break loose. Especially wet pavement with loose gravel and dirt lol

**the rest of us aren't anywhere near these guys...


ezhacker1: You lost it towards the cliff side or the hill? It couldn't have been as bad as my little off-roading my Vitz did on THAT one turn..

510Ryder- you are welcome ANYTIME to hangout with this. jrjrdinh should be posting up when the next run of this cruise will be. I will be posting a meet for us soon, so you can come to that as well :)

And i agree with Yaris Sedan about pushing yourself to become good.
And in my opinion Taylor kind of showed that by keeping up with Advocate stiff suspension setup.

After my incident friday night (only Yaris Sedan saw it)....i will be going with a TRD Vitz Rally Challenge setup. I need to find some lightweight 16s for the car...
