This was a hectic month. Been swarmed with work and more work. Not in anyway a complaint though. I’d still like to have an equal balance of work and fun rather than doing nothing at all.

This trip was planned right after the August 22nd trip. We figured that after the first track day at the Ridge we’d be able to run faster times this time around.

So here we are, after a good 4 hour drive from Vancouver, BC to Shelton, WA.

Yes it’s been almost a month after the day but I wasn’t planning to upload these photos.

It was my first time tracking at the Ridge Motorsports Park. This track is awesome! Had so much fun and I’m going back again sometime this month. I was spending more time prepping the car and running off the track so I didn’t take a lot of photos that day haha.

Turn2 open track day at Pacific Raceway

Went to Pacific Raceway in Kent 2 days ago and shot an open track day event for 2 of my friends. They’re both part of the APL motorsports crew. Both of the cars are at the extreme ends-597whp sti vs give or take 90-100whp miata. I also met a few guys there. There are a few Audi R8s, 911s, mustangs and vipers, but the one that caught my eye was a NSX with an amazing exhaust note. I also like the black BMW M3 E46 which is running a nice set of motons for suspension and RAC monolites wrapped in nt01s. It’s okay if you don’t understand one bit of what I just said because the pictures explain everything!

Tim’s S2K with a lot of Spoon goodies. This is a very casual shoot. I actually met the owner at autocross. We agreed on shooting this car 1/2 year ago but never had the time. Black cars are always hard to shoot with, but I just like doing it again and again lol. It’s not hellaflush or anything but I think it’s still very nice and separates from the group.

That’s right! I shot my own car haha. I did a quick shoot while the weather is still good and before the crazy weather swarms in.

A little bit of history. I bought this car back in 2007 and the original intention was a daily driver, A to B car. I was planning to get some rims, lower and call it a day. Apparently that didn’t happen, and end up doing more and more to it.

I never thought that this car would saw the track either. I’m pretty surprised what the car became. The goal was to keep the car fun to drive, while keeping it daily drivable without much sacrifices. It’s basically an overhaul with gsr parts and some itr goodies as well. It wasn’t meant to be really fast, but to keep a neutral balance between power and handling.

And no, this car doesn’t attract any girls. That’s right. It doesn’t and I really don’t care anyway. I would’ve picked up something else if that was my intention. It does attract some enthusiasts and that INCLUDES girls. LOL

This was my first car and I learned pretty much everything from ground up from it. Not much big plans for next year but more track time and may be a few little things here and there.

Bought a scooter since I need something to go around town when my car is on jack stands. Might have plans for engine swap and other goodies but we’ll see. Don’t need another money pit right now and since my brother is partially an owner, I won’t be driving it as much.

And a quick snap :)

PS: I’ll be out of town from Aug 15-24. You can contact me via email or sms. Call me if it’s urgent. Thanks!
