Ok we had a serious laptop malfunction in LA so here is everythin we did in full



Here is the view from Newark Liberty International as we await our connecting flight to LA



We got straight off the plane and into the Falken Scion xb and straight to the Falken Tire Monster Energy Ford Mustang launch party



Heres the gang for the weekend. dxdan papa and james deane and myself



Here is the reason we were all there



once again ASD fabrication is outta this world



Nigey was missing from the last photo for some reason



Heres the famous go-kart form the gymkhana video



Lea Anne got a new tattoo which seemed very interesting after 6 or 7 vodkas




Here is the fantasy factory itself



and the man himself mister Drydek



We got absolutely wasted and managed to get a half hour in the Irish bar across from the hotel too and this was the view in the morning. Anybody recognise it? its where travis pastrana jumped the subaru



We headed to the track thurs to check everything out



The Sky was being unloaded for some pictures



Dan tried on JR muzzy



and we checked out the competitions cars. some old............



some new



and some weird stuff like this hot rod thingy



which was actually pretty cool



James Deane was representing Falken and of course MCNSPORT this weekend



The ASD mechanics rang me and said come for a beer so we did and this was the view from the bar, thats our hotel. not too shabby eh?



Here is a shot from after qualifing as me a James messed around



And here is a shot from our celebrations on sat night. some drifting went on during that time but thats old news by now. left to right is papa deane, mad mike, dan and toni



On sunday to recover from our hangover we went slick track go-karting



and drag racing, these turned out to be a lot more fun than they looked



The boys had never been to universal so we decided to go there on monday




This turned out to be a great laugh, papa deane was very grumpy until we got food in him



we had to double check if james was tall enough for the rides



we went proper go-karting monday night



and brought ninja papa deane along



I proceeded to break the lap record on my first proper try, well chuffed with that

We spent tuesday karting also but i was too busy to take pics. The two porsche alms driver came to take us on and they cheated theyre way to the win otherwise i think i cudda beat em, maybe next time
