<\/strong>14,801 miles. I’m back from the Buttonwillow event. It ended up being a drift & grip event. I gripped the track and had lots of fun! We were using the east loop, which was quite small, short & narrow. I practiced my racing line with Yoshie. On my first run my turbo starting coming loose! All the drama with my downpipe & muffler has been putting a lot of tug on the turbo from the outlet pipe. Luckily my baby was nice enuf to screw my turbo on!\u00a0 Thank you Ben ;).<\/p>\n

I ran the course as hard as I could, my speed through it was around 70mph, I thought that was pretty good considering it was a very narrow and windy track. I didn’t loose it the entire day! Anyways, I don’t really have much to say about that event other than my car is setup pretty well right now for grip AND drift. The only thing that I do different with my set-up when I drift is change my rear tires to 15’s. Anyways, on the way home a piece of wood smashed into my car, and just my luck…it hit my KOUKI BUMPER!!!! It put a hole the size of my index finger tip ;(, right NEXT to the license plate part. Shit happens, but WHY to my new bumper?! Well, it gives me an excuse to start crying about a new paint job!<\/p>\n

I went to lunch with a friend to a restaurant in Alhambra this Thursday. I parked in a parking structure. On my way back home one of the pieces of my kouki bumper, the square that connects to the bumper and fender flew off. Luckily my friend was behind me and picked it up off the street AFTER I ran over it. I examined it to find that all the tabs were ripped, it looked like someone tried to tear it off. So some jerk was trying to jack my lil’ side piece in the parking structure at lunch. Okay, if I’m one of the only people here in the USA with that bumper, why the fuck would you want to jack pieces off of it?\u00a0 Newsflash…it doesn’t fit any other bumper but the kouki bumper.\u00a0 I have two jobs, I’m a full time mom and a student and I live on my own…I work real hard for my money, so when things like this happen…its hard to swallow.<\/p>\n

This weekend I’m meeting with the organizers of SoCal240SX.org. We’ve booked California Speedway for a All-Nissan drift event.
