    Det hadde vært vledig gøy men vet ikke om vi får det til enda!

    Oh yeah, Pomona end of season finals! It’s incredible. The nitro cars are basically controlled explosions running down the straight... So cool!

    What’s up Dean! I’ve found that all tires get loose when they’re wearing down. Temperature plays a role too. You drive with a bit more margin in the second run for sure. I believe the Hankook R-S3 is the most consistent tire in FD, which is a big factor in the championship sweep this year.

    Haha! Well, the 2AR is also the stock tC motor so it wouldn’t really change that aspect of it!

    I have experience from gokarts and a few other races, like the Toyota Pro Celebrity Race in Long Beach, where I won the pro class in 2012. I’m a big rallycross fan, but wouldn’t get into it unless we had a 2/3 year plan and a solid budget and program that would allow me a shot at getting up to speed.

    I love it!! I had a BLAST there this year. The track is super fun and the crowd is really into it. We ran fairly consistent out there and I believe we’ll have an advantage over the competitors that haven’t been there, but then again we had some really tough battles and it’ll be anyone’s game come July next year. I…

    I agree - FD has to have one of the most diverse engine and car combos of any sport!

    I think we will have to up power levels moving forward. Right now, we’ll be testing a bigger Borg Warner EFR 91-series turbo on the 2AR, but for the future it’d be interesting to see how the 1GR and 2GR V6’s would do.

    Interesting question. The 2JZ is definitely better bang for the buck for your typical drift car. BUT the 2AR is a lot lighter (and shorter) which helps packaging and weight bias in a car like the tC. The 2AR has blown my mind with how much power the block and stock bores can take, but Steph’s put a ton of work into…

    Hi there! I got to race gokarts between the age of 12 and 16 and that probably laid the foundation for what I’m doing today.

    And yes, I do consider myself an average swing dancer. But I only dance after 2 am...

    Hehe. The day you win the lottery and we decide on parting ways with our race car?

    About 30 to 40 tires per FD weekend. About 5-600 tires a year with all practice and demos, etc. I have a Supra ice beater car back in Europe that I plan on beating the s*it out of this winter!!

    Rocket Bunny Lexus RC F lightweight build with some sort of supercharger or turbo set up.

    It was part of the package with Papadakis Racing, and I knew I wanted to be a part of the Toyota Family after drifting Supras in my grassroots days. I also thinks it adds to the diversity of the series.

    Lol! Good catch, I guess. Did you know I’ve leased out the use of my name not just for the world as we know it, but also for the universe? True story.

    I’d be down for the challenge! Perhaps I can get JR back and jump his car for once!

    Lol. Nice try!

    10 years ago, and my Mom’s Chrysler Grand Voyager soccer mom car. I wore out the paint on the foot e-brake pedal. If you pulled the cigarette lighter thingy and put it into the handle you could use the foot e-brake freely. I remember doing 360s in that thing on ski resort access roads and so forth. Crazy times.

    I stopped eating pizza a few years ago (sadly) but my favorite would be Hawaiian or the full custom with steak, bacon and cheese crust... Yummie
