ASIAN TSUNAMI TRAD - DONATION TWISTIES DRIVE

There may not be a professional photographer like the NTAG drive last time, but if you would like to take serious pictures of the drive, please let me know via PM / e-mail so we could discuss.

Slvr Srfr, Brizey, Gregsatt
We need to have lead for each group and the sweeper (depends how many people turn out)
I will also be one of the lead.
Those who have done this route before. I would need help.

This drive is not a race, not a competition of speed, not to show off whose car is faster or who can take corner faster, no drifting / sideways even you are really good at it.

Always remember:
We are doing this on public roads. Please appreciate other motorists.
Safety is main concern not speed. Please speed safely and enjoy the twisties :D

We should be finishing up the drive by around lunch time somewhere in Celina, TX (North of Frisco)

Then we all could eat lunch together in Frisco.
Hopefully the lunch (meet) can draw those peeps who are not a morning person to join the fun.

The lunch place is not yet decided as of this time. But I will update the place after I get more info on some possible restaurants.
In the meanwhile, if you have any suggestion of a restaurant w/ huge parking lots, please PM me or e-mail @ david_salaki@hotmail.com.

So finally...
Who's in and Who's out?

P.S.:
This drive is not for Subaru Cars only.
It is open to any kind / type car enthusiast from Domestic to Import.
So bring your friend if they are interested.
found this on the subaru forums thought it be fun to try out and it for a good cause.

I was there too, I was in the red S13. The only one with the stock tailpipe. When we left Plano, I made sure to stay out of the way of the fast groups and let them start off way before us. I have only had the 240SX for about 4 months now, and have been driving RWD for only that long so I wouldn't say I am too confident yet.

Also I can't afford to risk breaking anything just yet. I graduate (or I should, no I better !) in early May. Until then I am just going to practice with it, fix as much as I can with it, and shelve my hotrod dreams until after graduation.

Maybe in a few weekends or so we should have a smaller private tour of the area? I am open to other routes. Nothing too serious, I would prefer to not tempt fate and risk a ticket or a wreck. Just another fun tour of the countryside.
