AutoX at northampton today, what a blast!

[Onizuka]

Alot of you guys missed a great event, other than myself the only nico guys that were there were fred and chad. The were also some B15 guys to hang out with as usuall.

Highlights:-the tar used for sealing cracks in the parking lot softend up to the point where it could be moved around with your shoe easily, so of course it coated the entire track, making for a mostly ***-out fun-runs kind of event-The Laminar Concepts Viking SRX7 from that SCC Ultimate street car compitition showed up to the event, in all its 13B goodness. The guy driving it saw all the nissans with the hoods up in the upper parking lot and stopped by to chat, nice fellow-A s13 hatch with a sr and T3/T67 showed up, yet another nice guy, talked lots with fred and all of us-Chad, certified EMT, helped a man who was very dehydrated and went to the hospital (NICO: We Save Your Arse)

Da Bad Stuff:-The track was covered in tar -A guy got dehydrated and had to go to the hospital-It was balls-hot out in the sun (luckily there was alot of trees and shade nearby

I think chad took some pics, I of course forgot my camera (its always something, next time I'll probably forgetsomething else, like gas. Or my brain). All in all, It was way sweet.

forgot about this one. its rather warm just sitting in front of the computer, so being in the sun wouldn't have been much more fun.

I would have come but the US Drift Nationals were down in Manassas VA ... It was some heated competition out in the smeltering sun ... there was a big 240 and 350z turn-out. Here are a few cars on deck to compete.

I was down in D.C. this weekend with friends and couldn't make it, but oh well. I'll be at the next event down in Ripken Stadium on June 26th though.

It was cool. Well ok, It was freak'n hot. I did take some pics of Matt's runs(mosty drifting runs , that is!!) He let me ride with him on 3 of his 5 runs(COOL!) The guy I helped out was ok, I think. The moral of that story is DRINK MORE WATER!!

I'll post pictures in a day or two.

Yeah that guy posted on the scca forum, he was out of the hospital by 6pm.

I'm going to try and bring a cooler with Ice and water for everybody and anybody who would like some for the rest of the season. Anybody have a fold out canopy we could use?

[PalmerWMD]

I dont have one ,but if they arent too expensive I woudl spring for one, assuming someone else would haul it to the meets ( and reliably show up with it, to all, or nearly, all of them)

Freed.

I have a canopy, but us B15's run in the opposite session as you guys. But I got mine from NorthernTool.com for about $95 shipped. But if we're there, you guys are definitely welcome to hang out over there or put your stuff under our canopy.
