FR-S / BRZ /AE86 owners! It's here again!

We are back at Willow Springs Raceway "Balcony" for more fun learning to control your car. (might move to Stadium course as well)

This venue will feature an open area for 20 cars, taking turns on 2 or 3 exercises, with a few instructors available to help you advance as a performance driver.

It's fun, safe, and this is one of the smaller scale events where we can concentrate with less crowds.

We cater to novice and intermediate level drivers, and there is no pressure, as this is not a race but a car control clinic. Did oyu want to learn the basics of drifting? Did you want to learn the dynamics of control? Did you want tips on tuning? Tips on maintenance to what to buy.

Don't worry too much about equipment/tune/mods as we are not chasing lap-times or racing, this is understanding driver relationship with the car, the ART of PERFORMANCE DRIVING and SETUP. So whatever that is reliable and cheap is fine.

ONLY 20 SPOTS OPEN. Come out and have FUN with us!!

Old Friends of Club4AG

Testing Taka's retuned ex-Formula D AE86 to Lap Time Attack AE86, and shaking down with Shingo Yugami assisting as the works pro engineer, from Bluemoon Performance.
Despite the status of shakedown, he whips out the top time of day with a lightning fast 1:22 flat on Streets of Willow Springs Raceway.

Also present were some of the best buddies and competitors from the long past, Ryosuke and Tetsu Fukui. Visiting from SD was the seasoned SCCA National Champ Jonathan Lugod. Several other good friends to make the day complete too.
Tony Kim and I were just having a casual lap attack shaking down our daily driver, both of us setting near our own best records for the respective cars too, breaking well below 1:30.

Mild cool, windless day was PERFECT too! Yoshie Shuyama was inside the heated trailer all day hibernating as she always does in the winter season.
We thank ‪#‎Extreme‬ Speed Track Events, Chris Willard, and Joel Perez, Amir Bentatou and staff, especially the course workers and flag officials, for hosting even during Christmas Weekend!

Winmax 86 CUP FINAL ROUND 2014

For many the 2nd week of December means college and high school finals week. But for some of the most dedicated Toyota fans, the week was spent in preparation and racing of the Winmax 86 Cup final event.

Over 16 cars participated out of the 30+ cars that have come and gone for this series, and final event was just full of heated runs, as well as lots of smiling participants. The wind was calm but cold, and provided lots of cooling even for boosted modified varieties of the NZ/NC6 platform cars that all sorted thier smoothest lines on the track.
