A friend is organizing a gymkhana event in Greenville, and I thought I'd help him out by posting here. It's going to be very much like autocross, and no crazy Japanese Gymkhana stuff like driving in reverse will be involved.

The cool thing is, they'll guarantee 6-8 runs :)

If you are interested, event details are here.

Their desire to use 15 cones leaves a bit out IMHO

After watching that, it was a struggle to not rearrange my icons like that. :D

JK Motorsports are the guys who inpired me to "modify" The Dog last year.

Most real car guys in Greenville think the JK guys are jerks and this includes import guys. They bad mouth everybody else in town and take advantage of young newbies here for college. They've slandered me many times and I really don't think much of them.

Don't be surprised if they mess up the USL as a site for us.

Then it is probably a good thing that Ryan plans to be there to witness any actions that may be detrimental to our further use of the site. As small as the site is, it is still a site and we don't want the actions of others to impact us.

Did you forget the last time we attended an event with a figure 8? If it has that element it has disaster written all over in IMO.

The yellow/green combo sticker should be sign of the extreme JDMness that one is about to be subjected to.
