In update 14, I went over the installation of the T56 transmission and driveshaft. Since the clutch slave cylinder is an internal type, it was installed during the clutch and transmission installation. To make the GM slave cylinder function correctly, a properly-sized clutch master cylinder must replace the stock FC…
This year I was able to attend the Seattle International Auto Show as media for Import Meet. The benefit of being media is that on the first day of the show, the organizers let you onto the floor before the general public. This gave me exclusive access to all of…
By the time November rolls around in the Pacific Northwest, car meets are few and far between. The meet I attended last Saturday was held at Griot’s Garage in Tacoma, WA and it was organized by NW CARRIERS.

Big thank you to everyone who supported our new event, @supersummermeet on Saturday. This was an experiment with how we could throw an evening event and the unpredictable weather made it super difficult to organize and more importantly promote. We appreciate those who still came out and participated despite wet conditions all over the NW.
We’ve already started thinking of how to improve things and know that with a better weather forecast the turnout would have been higher. We also need to seriously consider whether renting such a big facility with so many competing events in the early summer is feasible. The number of smaller meets, shows, and other events in general has quadrupled in the last couple of years.
Thank you to the @theplacetorace staff, @proformanceracingschool staff, and our volunteers for helping run such a challenging day with random weather. Special thank you to our sponsors and vendors for helping make the event possible.

We are so excited to announce that @sportdrivingmotors will be providing ride-alongs starting at 4pm and running until we shut down the track around 10pm at @theplacetorace.

This includes the payment to @proformanceracingschool for the Lead/Follow laps on track and the time for the driver. We want to continue to develop this part of the event in future years so we can`t wait to see how it goes.

@supersummermeet is this Saturday! Since everyone seems concerned about the weather let us remind you that it SNOWED in the days leading up to SpringFest this year. 😀
Our event with StanceWars at @theplacetorace will be held from 4-10pm which we hope is late enough in the day that whatever the weather is going to do is done by then. This is a brand new event and an experiment for what we can do in the evening format. Lead / Follow will still be happening on track all evening. Get your tickets and support what we are doing: thefoat.com/46526
