    ***Centralia Spring Meet & Greet - May 3rd***

    Enjoyable Day! First time for me, having never been to a Supra meet before. Met a lot of Supra enthusiasts, like myself, and saw a couple of locals I've missed these past few months. Thinking of it, are there swap meets for us Supra owners, where we can bring or, buy Supra parts for sale? Van

In the meantime, I'm planning...

    Supra Road Racing

    I've read and heard a lot of controversy over the subject of bigger breaks, on our Supras. At the track, I saw so many variations of breaks, stock rotors, stock pads, aftermarket pads ,after market rotors and all sorts of combinations. Those racers that I spoke with said they got to the point of...

    Supra Road Racing

    Unfortunately, no pics or video, as my buddy got sick then the last minute attempt to get a back up went south on me. Next time I'll have my own set-up. Saw three different video set-ups at the track, one was a bullet cam attached to the helmet, w/a small transmitter, but most were standard...

    Supra Road Racing

    Hey, Supra checked out well. No leaks! I will have to tighten the belts, according to the tech. He also suggested I do nothing to the car since we will not be driving the car fast enough during the driving school. If I decide to attend the High Performance Driving events during the season...
