^^^Favorite picture I've ever taken of my car. I love the lines, the reflection in the car, and the inadvertent skid mark that I didn't realize was there-awesome!

Haha, trying to get in SU's good graces for possible sponsorship-gonna post this on there forum...They've treated me like royalty the past few weeks and I've only spent 100 bucks there--spark plugs and lug nuts!

They'll give anyone a sponsorship. However, unless you're sucking their dick, you get like 3% off.

 

[thejeans]

yeah really not worth it... i was sponsored buy them and chose not to renwew for a second year

 

[jri4]

yeah I know...3% is 3% though, and I don't mind spreading the word about them....but at the same time I don't have the funds or aspirations others have for my car to dump money into it, so what good is a little discount.

Sean, have they improved the track surface at all?

Track is still the same, no improvements at all. last year Jonathan Davis damaged his Sentra there, (tirewall of course). I think if Nelson had an actual instructors for the track less accidents would happen. I have not been to one event, where someone has not damaged their car.

In fact, there was a fatality (open wheel) a few months ago. It is a nice little track that carry's a great deal of speed, but little to no runoff area. I actually prefer BeaveRun to Nelsons.

James, send an e mail to Cullen or Sam and tell them that I referred you and they'll give you a better discount. What are you looking to do next? Shoot me a PM and I will advise the guys to take really good care of you.

sean says it's like a "tarmac" rally stage and that it's at least half as wide as mid ohio's track...so you have to be right on with your lines

there's a honda up there that's super low and everyone has asked the guy if he's able to raise it at all...

he says there are only like 12 people up there today, so he's probably going to see a lot of track time

 

[thejeans]

yeah really not worth it... i was sponsored buy them and chose not to renwew for a second year

now that i think about it, they treated me well (with the only thing i bought from them) but just have hardly anything to offer the mz3 owners... they are built to cater to the speed owners and thats why i didnt renew...

Marlon--I've got no money until next summer, and then I will be getting Coilovers... I figure my car will have 70,000+miles on an assumedly stock suspension so it should be time to upgrade that, which will then last the life of the car. I'll have you hook me up with them at that point! Thanks for offering!

It's funny to see you posing like such a bad-ass. You're too nice to look tough, James! Haha! Car looks great though. I'm glad you got that all sorted and they're on the car now. Looking forward to seeing it in person next weekend.

Once you meet James, you'll understand. He's like a chipmunk. No homo.

Just upholding the rules man. I'll be damned if I get in trouble over something like that.

And on that note, I'm off to go golfing. See ya!

 

[Lewis7789]

No, I mean, you made a typo. Re-read it. It's funny. I don't mean you're a jive turkey for upholding your Mod duties.
