My personal countdown has begun to go to Formula D in Sonoma. Jon and I have in a way made it a short term tradition these past few years. I didn't get to post as many pictures of Vegas as I wanted, but this time will be different. Enjoy what's to come


Last year, the long stretch 4a to 7a is the starting off point where most of the guys get to 85-95 mph. The first curve 7a is a quick double right hander followed by a longer left hand transition. Hope that all makes sense.

Hope you guys had fun, I would have been there with you but Kelly's dad had a minor health issue last night so we had to bounce to Fresno to make sure he was ok. He ended up being fine, but we didn't get back to sac till 10am this morning after staying up all night.

LOL yea the big ass baloon deal is just a lil taller than I am hahahaha.

Looks like the Fatlace car got an Origin Agressive kit now instead of the Version Select Type 1 it used to have. I liked the old kit much better. Anyways looks like it was a lot of fun, I wish I could have been there but u know how family emergencies are they just pop up outta no where.

Yeah I hear that. That's good though that he is doing better. The FatLace car is so clean, but I agree, the Version Select kit is mucho better. So, I am hunting down a kit for a hydraulic handbrake now. I saw the Ksport one on ebay for like $180 minus the braided lines, but I think I want something a little more custom.

I personally don't think u need a hydro e brake, cuz my e brake on my s13 and kelly's S14 work awesome in stock form. But if you do want that Luke aka blu808 on zilvia made a write up about the $100 hydro e brake setup, it's pretty decent in my opinion and cheaper than the Ksport.

I'll try out the drift button first, I just kind of like it upright and out in front near the wheel. I have been checking ebay for all sorts of goodies like the ebrake caliper from Wilwood which isn't that expensive and the clutch master would be easy enough to grab up.
