I have fond memories of Flemington racetrack and the enduros. Same deal, shitheads buying a house next to a track then being amazed it’s loud.

I had someone track me down by way of a sticker I had. It was on a SVX that had an exhaust and they needed to know what kind of Italian supercar it was. They didn’t believe me when I told them it was a Subaru.

Inflection is difficult on the computer. I don’t mean any malice and you honestly have no idea how I’m “saying it”. I am aware some do take offense to the term but I don’t understand why.

I’ve been doing track events for 15+ years. Spent the last 2 crewing for a NASA PTD champion. The reason I call it figure skating is because there are judges involved. I know the skill required. It takes balls to go into a turn at triple digit speeds and come out not a mass of bent metal. Drifting is a skill but in…

Hit a bump, run out of travel and bottom out. That’s perfectly safe, right?

I’ve gone out as both pilot and passenger in a drift car. It’s a blast but it’s still figure skating with cars. That’s not a bad thing either.

I think stance is the the dumbest thing. Same with drift events. It doesn’t matter though. I don’t care what the kids think the newest fad is. I do care that they have an interest in cars. It’s those that find their way to DE’s and other outlets from that experience that will help all of us. 20 years ago I had no idea…

I have those as well but having a RC car addiction, allen keys are always close at hand.

I travel a 45 zone daily where it’s easily possible to crack 125 if you have the tools. It’s highly inadvisable but entirely possible.

Don’t forget the eating of pets. They’re cute and adorable but they’re still wild animals.

More like dispersed into the wild.

They’re adorable but they are still wild animals. They will tear your puppy apart if the need arises.

The first car may also have kicked it up and the GS being quite low they chose to straddle it, rather than make a heavy input that would put others on the road at risk. His choice didn’t work out.

It happens to Aston Martins too.

And a whole lot taller.

It happens. I have a galaxy S3 and I can see the speedo and other waze elements burned into the screen at all times.

Another subaru fan, nice. We’ve been tracking subarus for 15+ years now. Since we work for NASA doing the T&S we get a break on entry fees but anything about racing or track events are expensive. Our “cheap” PT-D racecar cost $40K and we did a lot of work at our shop.

Back in the early 2000's we had a caged crapcan impreza l. It allowed a few of us to get our race license and also have a track slut car. That car would go out every single rungroup, get the shit kicked out of it and come back for more.

I’ve been doing track events for 15+ years and when we share tracks/space with drifters it’s amazing the turnout they get. I wish we got those numbers and a normal event. I don’t dislike drifting, it’s a skill. It takes a set to pitch it into the turn at triple digits and come out not a mess of bent metal. It’s just…

I’ve been in printing for 15+ years and I’ve never heard or been in a shop that uses a system like that. I’ve seen plenty of presses on fire though.
