Hey fred, yeah I'm one of the Iowa guys. My friend drove his 240sx up so I didn't get a chance to show you guys my car. He made a slide show on Image station and he'll post it ASAP. I made sure he took a few new pics of my car to include in case any of you are intestered in seeing the beginning stages of a new member's car. Nothing spectacular, but I'm happy with it so far. Had alot of fun tho, and I really enjoyed seeing your car.

thanx fred, can't wait to see your write up. And Nizmo, thanx on the props and I'm hoping to continue to tune the altima, possible turbo, but most like nitrous because of the cost restraints. Need suspension so I can drive like Cold Zero;)

No problem Jordan, it was a blast having you out there!

For the people who didnt get a chance to stay for the auto-x, it was a long long day, we didnt' get to run until 4:30 and it was very hot! lol

Andy "Repo Man", Josh "Spec-u-later", and I were assigned to help work the track in the morning. To make a long story short, we were out n the middle of the track for 2hours with no water or food or shade, it was freaking horrible, but it was nice just chilling with Andy and Josh!

When we got to run, Josh had the fastet 4 door time of a blistering 59.xx seconds, and I had the fastest 2 door time of a blistering 61.xx seconds! It was my first time and it was awsome!

The ride to and from was one of the funnest things though, me and Josh caravaned from Cincy and we had a blast. The first 40 miles only took 20 minutes, lol! On the way home he got some really good footage of me doing drive bys on the highway. If it wasn't for my damn speed sensor in the ecu, I woulda done a lot more than 120mph, but oh well, lol!

Another fun part was watching Bill drift with Robbie's and my car! After I say him tear up the parking lot with Robbie's I went to Andy's house to get his old tires to put on the back of my car. Bud, The Iowa guys, Josh, Bill, and Nick "I think its Nick", went out to some business area and watched me and Bill tear up the parking lot with my car, it was my first time learning to drift one dry pavement and it was a blast. Footage comming of that and the rest of the meet asap!

Just wanted to say thanks for all that made it out there, and wish all you others guys coulda come too!

I ran a 59. So I'm a little :confused: by your post. I didn't even make my 5th pass either. Dropped my time from 65 to 59 in 4 runs. Never auto crossed before either!!
