These Rays wheels are cursed.
At long last, we’ve reached the final installment of the Willow Springs trilogy. To be honest, part of the day was kind of a sore subject for me and I was reluctant to talk about it, hence the delay. Before I even got to the track, I had a bolt that holds my brake bracket back out on me, on the freeway, at 80 miles per hour. Actually I didn’t even…

It’s Saturday morning, 5AM, and Yim is at the door. Time to go! We head back over to the shop to pick up our cars. It’s not even 6AM and Ferdie is quick detailing his car; no comment.

To finish the Vegas story, we were basically eating dinner at a Pho restaurant in Westminster; I completely forgot the name. It honestly wasn’t spectacular enough for me to remember, but while we were eating, I realized I wouldn’t have enough time to break in…
