Re: Proving Grounds 2012
This time I will be there with my car!! I was unfortunatly unable to make it to the 2011 event with my car but was still able to be a spectator and get white boy wasted 
Went to the import vs. domestic and that was a bust but I was able to get a lot more runs in then if I were to have the car at Proving grounds. I was sad to see all my friends out running there cars that weekend and am down for for 2012!

That wasn't a compliment. 
I hope to make a 10.99 pass by then, but we will have to see. |

What confusion? The rules have been the same for years, just look them up.

Agreed, better signage is needed when you enter the gate.

I'm hoping to do more of both, my pass times improved the more tired and hungover I was.
But in all seriousness I'm super pumped, the car's going to be ready for anything.

I really want to do the road course in 2012, but it's hard to pass up such an open drag track. Maybe if there was some shit-talking/side betting involved I might be motivated

x2, and considering most mitsu guys can't drive their shit in a straight line there isn't much hope for this. 
I'd like to do the road racing for a couple of laps. Maybe I'll bring the honda  |

When you do more than aim down the track and actually drive a car for once let me know how that goes.

This will work... Spaz I'm calling you out on the road course. Prepare to have your ass handed to you.

Um, i've done it plenty of times and turns out even on teh street I don't spin out on corners and at the auto-x i do pretty good, hell I came within .02 secs of beating the driver of a car who had been doing auto-x all year and previously before and that was my first time in that car!
But well that's how that went, now please tell us all your wisdom from running off the road, car crashes, the internet and of course forza.
Also I plan on taking home the stock appearing trophy if i make this event, with a 16G. |

There will be some fast mitsu's there this year. I'm sure we could setup some grudge racing. |
