I live in Utah, it's normally considered a faily boring place, but then the owner of the Jazz, Larry H. Miller, decided to build a Race Track. Now Utah is cool. Any way, here's some photos of me at GT Live a couple of weeks ago. There were drift demos and a lot of cool cars. I got to ride in this Crawford STi driven by Tanner Foust. It was AMAZING, it was faster than the porsche that was infront of us. Our top speed was around 140 mph. It was so cool, I wish I was a race car driver, but I'll stick to my xmods for now, untill I'm rich.

Yeah, I prefer Evo's, but the AMS Evo didn't go out when I got to ride, so I got to ride in the second fastest Time Attack car. The cool thing about that car is that it's a street car with a full interior and everything. It was so dang fast, you don't realize how fast everything is happening until your inside the car at race speeds. I'm going to go check out the Utah Grand Prix right now, Thursday is free for the qualifying stuff. See ya.

Well, the good thing is that the track isn't going anywhere, so maybe next year you'll have some more freetime. I wasn't going to go to the Grand
Prix but when I got to work I started thinking, "what am I doing at work, I should be out there watching the cars on the track." So I took a vacation day went and got my wife aTnd baby and we took a little road trip out there. It was pretty cool. We stayed till 5pm, so I got to see the Speed World Challenge Touring Class. They were loud so my wife and baby were in the car for that part. Then we left, I would have liked to stay for the LeMans cars but I got to take care of the family too.
The LeMans Race will be on CBS during the day on Sunday, recorded from Saturday evening.

I don't have a lot of freetime either because of work and school and family, that's why I dont post a whole lot, but luckily I was able to make time for these two events this year. I went to GTLive by myself which was good because there was more stuff to do like the go karts were free, I went 4 times throughout the day, and I had to wait in line a long time to ride in the STi. I was going to go by myself to the Grand Prix but my wife wanted to go, it worked out, we used the dressing rooms at the go kart track for her to breatfeed the baby. Ha ha. It was fun. I've had a lot of jobs that didn't offer any flexibility, but I'm blessed to have a job now that accrues vacation days and is pretty flexible.

I didn't know there were any Utah guys on here. Cool. It'd be fun to get together to race someday, but who knows, it's hard to coordinate everyones schedules, but maybe.

I was looking for a post by Chux proving that the STi is better than the EVO..

I envy you.. Glad you had fun, and a camera to show us!

Those aren't ricers... those are tuners. Ricers do everything cosmetic and nothing performance-wise.

You are correct, I did have a good time and that's why I'm grinning like a fool.
It was probably some of the funnest fun I've ever had.

Hey, I just noticed that you can see Eiji "Tarzan" Yamada behind me in the pic with my helmet on. He's in the blue race suit with the spiked, bleached hair. If you don't know, he's a famous drifter/road racer.
