I like it out here in Tennessee. The people are nicer than in LA (I’m not too friendly myself but nodbody’s perfect) and the landscape is super green everywhere which makes for a much nicer drive than say a drive to Buttonwillow in California where it’s nothing but brown nothingness. Its crazy to see younger guys with import cars talking about JDM this and Buddy Club that in a southern drawl. I never thought I’d see the day where building import cars has become this mainstream. I guess we can thank Nopi and the F&F movies for that.

The Redline Time Attack was actually only half of the event. The other half is a big car show thrown by Import Alliance. The show side is obviously not my scene, but it does bring people to the track which is good enough for me. There are even show Altimas and Maximas running in the street class which is cool. At least they are using their cars and that is after all why you build a car right? There’s more diversity of cars running in the time attack too instead of the 9,000,000 S2ks, EVOs, and STis that run in California.
