I am going up Thursday night.. if the aR isn't ready I'll drive the GSR instead.

If you guys have the ballz, MAM can be made in 2hrs 15min from KC.

Alright John I Edited U back on the driving list. That's a bummer about Kevin but hope to see him soon at Expo.

Having Ballz is not the problem... is getting busted for speeding & paying a crAzy fine is NOT what I'm looking forward to. I'm in no rush. :wink:

One of these weeks, I'll make it out. Hopefully it's one where many of you will be at as well. I finally got the car off of jackstands last weekend, but it still needs a few odds and ends.

John, what are your plans & time for leaving Thursday for M.A.M.? Budman and I have been talking about leaving Thurs too and getting a close by hotel. Thinking about leaving around 6pm. Thoughts?

P.S. call me or text me your number so I at least have it.

I got one rain session driving like a lil old lady... LoL.

And I only got one good session recorded and it was the session where U, John, & I all changed to R-comps. My GoPro(old one, not HD) was mounted on my I/O port mount and it got a great inside the cockpit view and decent outside view.

Budman and I were having a lil fun trading places with point by's for a while, then after a while U came along & then U and I were playing cat & mouse. And unfortunately John got stuck behind some idiots, so he never was in the vid. I had such a blast out there & AWESOME Times as always :D

I'll work on the vid Sunday nite hopefully & I'll get them posted up soon.

P.S. Hit up Colin and tell him to get a move on with those pics :thumbs up:

My camera and vids really suffered from vibration. Not as bad as when I used auto-focus in the past, but enough to fuck'em up.

I also had a malfunction with the camera and didn't get the session when the blk Civic and the slvr Mazda about crashed us.

Great day, but too much idle chit-chat between my passenger and myself kept my focus off the track at times.

Attempted to drive the R for the first time today and it is definately the clutch at this point. It didnt want to to go into 1st, when it did, I lightly gave it gas, it slipped when I let the clutch pedal out and continued to spin until it slammed into gear. Same thing for 2nd. I didn't need to go more than 100 yards to diagnose it. Hopefully this is the only problem with it.
