I’ll be sure to start blogging over here as well.

So, with that being said…………… GO TO THIS EVENT!!!!!!

Check out www.clubloose.com for more info!

Back to drifting.  GTLive & FormulaD Pro-Am is next weekend.  I’m running up there to check it out, I’ll post pics!

Here’s the TV: (Amercian Dad finished while I was writing this, so Family Guy is on)

House Stuff:  The bathroom sink and vanity

The race is 4 weeks away, I’ll keep everyone updated on my progress. Hopefully I won’t end up like this:

Work is work.  Busy. Work. 

We just signed a contract to have one of our bathrooms in the house re-designed, it’s going to be awesome!

Next up, was finishing John Marsh’s car before FormulaD to put in the Mazda booth. Yancey had built him a new motor that needed to go in. Marsh has a widebody Miata, if you were at FD you saw it, if you weren’t, there’s a few pictures below

Right after the motor went in, looking to make sure everything was running right:

After that, we decided to drop the wrenches and enjoy a good, relaxing weekend at the track. Well, as soon as I got to Road Atlanta on Saturday, Justin Pawlak comes up to me asking for a car. Long story short, he went to get his car tuned early that morning, and it blew up on the dyno. So after about 3 hours of making calls, and finding out that any car I could think of was being repaired from NOPI E-town, we tried to roll Struka’s car through tech. I knew it would fail on a couple of things, but I was just concerned with the cage. If the cage would pass, we could fix everything else, but the cage did not pass. So no ride for JTP.

The event was awesome! Great driving from everyone, and lots of close battles! It was nice to go to an event and just relax and watch some good drifting, but at the same time it pained me not being out there.

But anyway, the podium was:

1. Rhys Millen (Bridgestone Tires/Exedy Pontiac Solstice)
2. Michihiro Takatori (Super Autobachs Nissan Skyline)
3. Ryan Tuerck (Gardella Racing/Mobil 1/Maxxis Tires Pontiac Solstice)

Now for some pics!

Shameless Plug

Forsberg was killing it all weekend, but lost first round to Takatori

That Sunday, Sonja and I were taking Jacob and Thao from EDRFT.com around the city when JTP calls again, looking for a place to leave his rig. So now, I have this lawn ornament for the next two weeks. I think I might take it for a spin

Race car talk! She got a new wiring harness. The old harness was a ’96 which was OBDII, but had been re-wired for my OBDI LINK ECU. I put a ’94 OBDI harness in to eliminate any wiring issues that may come up. The ECU was completely re-soldered to make sure all connections are good, the heater core was replaced, and my supercharger was completely rebuilt by Magnuson. The new motor is coming along really well, the head was just picked up from the machine shop, and all the bearings and rings will be here Tuesday. I’m hoping to have the motor complete by this weekend.

DJ James came by today and we put in a new soft top. This is the first time I’ve put a NA top in a NB and I like how it looks.
