forcast was 30% chance of rain... so I currently have the PS cups on the stock rims... so I put them on the night before.

Fikses have PS2s -- I made the wrong call

It was fun sliding around on the cups though

PJ, where is that, Pacific Raceways?
The pictures are AWESOME, running that fast on Cups in the rain will "test your skills".
Come on down to Portland June 2nd, but leave the rain in Seattle.

Speedware @ PR
June 5th

Proformance @ PIR
June 12

Proformance @ PR
June 23

I am trying to make all of them and I will for sure be at both Proformance events...

Speedware is the only questionable day so far... but I am trying.

Damn job keeps getting in the way

the pictures look faster than it felt... yes that is PR from 3b into 4...
I was sliding all over the place on the cups but being careful...

Midway thru turn 2, riding the *** of an evo, setting up for the passing zone coming at the end of 2... i watch him break loose and slide off track right in front of me... dialed it down a notch as I kept thinking Evo 8 MR -- traction control, AWD, pitch/yaw sensors... I have none of that!!!!

O.M.G, that is a downhill to a R.H corner (hard corner), a least there is a little and I mean little run-off in turn 3. Or did he go off on a late turn 2? (ouch)
That is a cool track, however you better be on your game to have a good day.

It is a lot of money for PIR. The clubs cost <$200. PIR is a fun track. No real hills and no trees to hit.
Let me know if you are going for sure and maybe we can score someone to take extra wheels.

A few of us from Vancouver are coming down to Seattle on June 26th. It'll be my first time there. Any tips?

Cheers,

mid to late turn 2... he went in too hot and just slowly rotated his *** to the right and slid up the banking backwards and off the track
