They were awesome! The season opener in Anaheim is always one of my favorites. I've been to around 15 now all over North America. Try to hit 2-3 a year. It's a blast.

Wow, you get around! Haha. I wanted to go to Vegas last year but I had to go to Minneapolis for a stag and then started a new job so again I wait for another time.

Lol! Well I love to travel and love Supercross. If you like Supercross nothing holds a candle to a live race. They're just so damn fast! I've done Vegas finals twice. It's a gong show lol. If you ever do decide to go stay at the Hard Rock. That's where all the riders stay and where the party is after the races. So you get the chance to run in to a lot of em.

I definitely plan on getting to a couple sooner rather than later. Where have been your favorite ones so far?

The CMRA guys came through again this summer so I got to see a bit of racing but it was raining so much they ended up cancelling early. There is nothing like the smell of the exhaust and mud, the roar of the bikes, and the excitement of the gate drop. Just love it.

CMRA is Calgary road racing isn't it? I think you mean CMRC. Close enough lol. I'm so mad they quit the one pass through the CMRC used to make in Morden, MB. It was awesome. I would race motocross the Saturday then the big boys would race on Sunday. Just made a full weekend out of it.

Hmmmmm that's a tough question lol. My favorite would probably have to had been Daytona Beach where the run it in the middle of the Daytona International Speedway. We bought passes and got to watch the races standing right on the Nascar track. They don't seem to have it there on the circuit this year which sucks. Another great one was New York. The Metlife Stadium is HUGE.

Is it almost time to install my intercooler and meth and crank up the boost?? I don't have time this weekend but if it's still nice next weekend I'm seriously thinking of doing it!

Mark I need to take you for a rip bud I fixed the boost drop and it now holds 25psi to redline!

Ya definitely meant CMRC, didn't even realize the iPad changed it haha. It was always JSR and Blair Morgan battling it, good memories.

I was going to ask if you've been to Daytona. I've been to the track twice now and would love to be there for a race, but I figured it might be hard to get a good viewif you're in the stands since it's the infield. I thought I saw it on the schedule though? I know they aren't going to Toronto so I looked up the schedule.

Oh yes you're right they changed that. It's on the circuit but not an official Feld race for some odd reason. But yeah in Daytona the stands the fence is in the way which makes it harder to see. So down on the track is much better. You're just standing on an angle the whole time lol.

I think they didn't do Toronto this year because of the cost crossing the border. Is getting a little much. I've done Toronto once. It was pretty good but there's no pre pit party which sucks.

i would trade seat with you any day hahahahahah. i do want the ion redline recaro's. they are not easy to find, and even harder to find in good condition. i may just goto a generic recaro someday.

to be honest taylor i wish i had a couple of days with your car. i would make it absolutely flawless. it would shine so bright that it would blind the whole east coast from here. just dont ask any questions when you realize that you got new seats hahahahaha.


also jon there was a black option and a red option available in the cobalt however they are so rare that they almost never exsisted. as a matter of fact i think i have seen 2 pics in black and 1 in red on the net. the main color was grey.

Haha hey no stealing my seats! I would love to have it get a full in depth detail though, that would be awesome. I am going to buff it with some help from my friend who is good at it since I always go so light in fear of messing it up. And I am going to shampoo he carpets and spend some serious time cleaning it this year. No more filthy car (at least in my eyes).

hahahah ya i am the guy for that. even tho i dont do it for a living anymore, i still pull a sat shift down at my bud's business. he always saves me the most important jobs or high end cars. i think you can see even with my own car that every lil detail matters to me when it comes to appearance. it is my specialty.

Yeah you are definitely very detailed oriented just from what I have gathered. I am like that with certain things, I just don't have the skill or knowledge to be that good with interior and exterior care with cars. I do my best, but its definitely not professional grade.
