Ariel, are you really going to track your car or you just want to sit under the fizz tent when we go?

Thunderbolt is a great track, I did three days there this year, plus two on Lightning.

Hurts to see the pics of the track with water all over it. Two of my three this year had rain, the first day parts of the track were covered in standing water (the entire braking zone for the front straight for example ). Then again, there really is no substitute for tracking in the rain, you learn A LOT.

Trying to keep a new 911 Turbo in my sight:


Forget the JDM parts, keep practicing.

Yeah practice is key. I plan on going as much as possible but some of us are in need of shocks/springs anyway. Plus having stock height looks gay lol.

Actually the S is ready for the track off the showroom floor. In all honesty one must learn the car first before modding it for the track. How will you know what to mod if you've never been to the track with the car. It all comes down to the driver. Like it has been said many times before, mod the driver, not the car.

I went a whole year and some without doing any mods and just doing Auto-Xs. Then from there, I started to upgrade (focus) where I thought improvement was needed... driving that is. Then car parts started to be upgraded.

Fellow auto-x buddy right here
Even though he writes his name in every post

I miss doing Auto-Xs man... I haven't done one since like July I think. There's always something that comes up that I have to do on weekends... Eh.

Andre <------

Henry, I drive better than you dickwad

Prove it on the track hommie! And dont curse at me you know it turns me on!


I agree with you guys that the driver makes more importance. Auto-x is on my list of things to do as well.

However, I have the means to upgrade so I will be doing so. Just the change in wheel and tires made a noticable difference for me so. Not that I been on a track but I have been on some nice roads pushing the S enough to want my monoflex teins.

no more turbo for you then

psh just ask GPANG, or convoy with me.

Ill prove it on the track though.

and Ill curse at you whenever I want asshole

where is this place? and can i run a prius?

um wreckless and good driving are two different things.

Lets just see if you make it to the track. Reason why I am asking if you are going to track or just tag along is if we set up and your not tracking, YOU CAN TAKE PICTURES!!! Duh! always assume the worst when I ask something ..

Sure you can .. we will install the video camera in your Prius so you can shoot us doing laps around you Then you can edit it on your mac and post it up. Good idea?

lol yeah we should bring a camera man. Im tracking though, no sidelines for me

seriously tho where is this?

The title does say New Jersey motorsports ...

Its a couple of hours away. The Fizz crew that did go went the night before and stayed in a motel to get rest before tracking. I think we will be planning it the same way next year if possible.

Right Kenny? Kenny...? Where are you Kenny?

hahaha I'm right here henry. Yea the Track is in Millville, NJ. Its about a 3 hour drive (Pit stop time added for food) and the hotel that we stayed at was literally 5 min away. We could have pushed our cars to the track if we wanted to haha.

Henry, When we go to the track next season we are going to bring everything! The tent, chairs, bbq and all that good stuff

As for the prius question, Yes you can run it. They don't what car you have. In my class someone drove your X5 on the track. That truck hauled ass haha. Hoped that answered your question

the NJ turnpike rest stop is in NJ too, but there's no races there just a race to see who gets a disease first. lol i ment where in jersey but i see kenny posted it up

cool deal tho.
