Only our engineer attended Friday’s practice and qualify. A few of us here in the office watched qualifying from live stream on various websites. We were disappointed that not all our sponsored vehicles qualified for the event but I guess that is how it goes. Part of what makes it exciting to watch. “Any Given Sunday.”
After Friday’s Qualify
DMac qualified the highest amongst TEIN users in 6th position.
Tyler McQuarrie qualified two spots behind in 8th.
JTP got the 11th spot.
Charles Ng qualified 20th.
2010 Champion Vaughn Gittin Jr unfortunately did not qualify. Hopefully JR tears it up at Rd. 2 in Atlanta.
Found another competitor, Guthrie on TEIN Super Racing coilovers. Guthrie unfortunately did not qualify but his FD3S looks pretty buff. Might remember this car from HERE.
Saturday’s Main Event
The weather was awesome with clear skies and a nice cool ocean breeze. Spectators filled all the stands around the track and between rounds there was plenty to see. Full vendor area, race pits, car show and of course food.
The stands were packed with spectators.
The vendor area had both products and vehicles on display.
Found a twin turbo Mustang from HESS Motorsports which we sponsor in the Exedy booth.
Lots of high quality cars on display for the FATLACE show.
Cruising through the car show area I found Abe K.’s Lexus on display. He is rocking FLEX Sedan coilovers and a Platnium VIP cup kit.
I was fortunate to get a VIP wristband from a friend at NOS who had a hospitality tent and their own section of bleachers. Here is the view from their bleachers.
CONGRATULATIONS to JTP, Falken Tire and ASD. TEIN Coilovers for the WIN!
