Off we go! 700 sick laps.

Sunday, February 1, 2009

Went to Willow Springs this weekend to get the City Tire Z33 TT rolling. Only went half-throttle to break the engine in gently before it gets tuned for real, but man was it sweet to drive already! So much control, low weight, good steer angle... This will be N I C E to drift at Long Beach.

Many thanks to Jack for trailing up with me and doing half the work in the Z and a huge thank you to City Tire and South Gate Collision for providing truck and trailer.

Next outing we have tire testing on the agenda. Cheers! Carl
