Sunday Club ~ Final Edition

3's a company

~ Spent my last homey Sunday here, tagging along with my motor-kaki friends for a Sunday Club outing; 1st to the notorious dragstrip in no-man's land in Sejingkat, but the turnout was a no-show as we were literally the participants-cum-audience present there... probably due to the fact that it had started pouring in downtown area when we were on the way.

Then we moved on to the State Stadium, expecting to catch some track action but were greeted with only the sighs & sounds of a single go-kart running the track; what happened to all the regular hi-powered trackers? Apparently there had been a mishap at Turn1 & they were waiting for path to be cleared before resuming... so we were saved from a dissapointing outing (takde action).

The action resumes as the pack charged furiously into the tight 90 degree Turn1 *caught most of the action here strategically under the shade of a tree =p *

an EVO III braking hard late into the corner

Bee's S15, a regular here is usually one of the more blistering pace setters on this track

One of the 2 B-series powered Civics

an ultra rare turbocharged Chaser Tourer V ~ makes a very potent D1 machine
From Rides

the furious STi Ver.9; also a regular tracker here
From Rides

the suave rotary & 6-banger ~ addition of more high-hp variety to the already impressive pack
From Rides

one of the sickest looking 350Z i've come across; uniquely cool & driven the hard the way it should be ~ fast & furious... from the aggrasive driving style & racing lines it takes, i think the owner used to be driving a certain Skyline ER34 GT-T i've seen in action before.

representing the rotary stable ~ a FD3S RX7 done up in the best way $$ can buy; RE Amemiya kits + big turbo conversion

From Rides

This time round, I brought along my lovely umbrella girl too, & my photo-kaki buddy... =)
From Rides

In a nutshell, it was an afternoon of tarmac ripping & tyre burning fun, even for the spectactors. The sights & sounds of Sunday Club, i'll definitely miss...

Shot from the Sunday Club ~ Mother's Day Edition =p

Happy belated mom's day to all the mommies out there! Not quite like the family-like post you'd expect... spent the sunday afternoon basking in the sun with my mate louis, to catch up some adrenaline rush inducing tarmac scorching action yesterday. Just my 2nd time to the event, & oh my, has the congregation grown in size (audience & avid trackers)... race horses from a broad spectrum of high performance breed ~ 350Zs, MR-S, FC & FD RX7s, EVOs 3, 4 & 8, WRX STis ver. 7 & 8, 2 R34 GTRs, 2 GTOs, FD2-R & a handful of A31 cefiros were spotted. In a month or 2 from now, it's going to grow into a weekly fiesta ~ at this rate, the only concern is that the track will be chocked with traffic & there'll be less action to see -_- Was just contented wacthing the action from the sideline this time round, snapped only a handful of pichas...

a Veilside kitted FD3S ~ a sleek rotary beast that ages well. I still dig the curves of this particular generation of the RX7
From Rides

a purpose built dragster based on the RX7 Savannah chassis ~ it may look like your grandpa's ride, but it sure is freaking fast!
From Rides

Ver.9 Rex squaring up with the dragster ~ the war paint it's spotting *rubber graze marks* is from a nasty introduction with the tire barricade in one nail-biting corner whacking incident during the tracking session earlier... also gone was its carbon fibre front aero lip extension... ouch!
From Rides

The beast leaving the scene ~ this 600+hp Wangan style GTR was featured in Hypertune mag a couple of issues ago... watching this monster tear down the strip at full boost is truly a euphoric experience =p
