Just got back from the event. I love the car. The course they set up is extremely tight but still able to get a good sense of how well the car behaves. The people that work there are also extremely friendly.

I am just in the event chatting with @dori. He is wearing our club t-shirt, I am wearing light blue t- shirt with my little boy. Just call me to say hi!

Nice meeting some people. Got 2 runs in. My wait for my car just got more unbearable.

The event yesterday was amazing & fun... Met some cool people & the Scion Crew was friendly. I was there for the 4 o'clock event in my black & white plaid short sleave button up shirt. The track was kinda tight but still ripped it up, the automatic did throw me off a bit. Also got a chance to see a black Subaru BRZ limited & oh my was it looking super fresh up close. Definitely getting my dark gray BRZ limited. All in all, was a good time & worth the hour drive & I got to go kick for a while in north jersey where I was born & raised.

That was me with the black brz. Had a lot of fun. The track was tight. They probably did that so people couldnt drive fast.I think there was even a grandmother testing out the car. Everyone was really nice including the crew running the event.

engee · 06-03-2012, 01:07 PM

Second run that I was able to get. I messed up the second to last turn.

I was supposed to race at the NNJR autocross there that morning, didn't go, then was supposed to go to the FRS First Drive, and once again didn't go. ::SMH::

Check out my 1st run in the Scion First Drive Event- 4pm meet. I took it kinda easy this run, but my second run we went all out & murdered it. Had to get the adrenaline pumping & push the car to the limit. Lol! Also check out some of my music on my YouTube channel JayGreyTV.
