Battle: Round 666. Shane Lach v. Kevin Starling

The undisputed


kekeke

The Underdog


This was Kevin's first time really with the opportunity to get busy. I call it opporTUNAty. Go ahead, ask me why.

So..we went to the "auto-x" event at NCC in Nashua. Total bust. Failure burrito. They must have just had something against s-chassis. At least..there is no other reasonable explanation which I can ascertain.

This is the breakdown:
-Kevin Starling shows up in s13 early for start time. Posted start was 9am. The guy he spoke with turned him away, noting that they were just setting up, and the event would not actually commence until 10am.

-Kevin Starling calls me to alert. Due-ly noted.

-After a light morning snack / coffee run to Dunks, we adjourn and go to the school.

-After waiting several minutes to gain access to parking lot, the teacher/coordinator meets us before we walk over to the course. He states that he doesn't mind if we spectate, however, we will not be able to run the course for the following reasons:
1) We did not make the tech inspection, which began promptly circa 9am.
2) This event, though advertised as a public event, was in fact exclusively set up for students
3) No one there knew who we were

-He asked us to sign a waiver to spectate. We obliged.

-After about an hour we called bogus and quickly shuffled off to our cars so we could bounce.

-Upon leaving the lot, we had to cross the course. We approached very slowly. One of the drivers/event hosts approached the car. We rolled down the window to ask what the best exit strategy would be. Event driver yells "DO NOT DRIVE ON THE GRASS, GO AROUND THE CONES". Kevin Phan says okay. Event driver again yells (note in a more threatening tone at this point) "DO NOT LEAVE THIS PLACE SIDEWAYS. WE WILL CALL THE COPS. WE HAVE YOUR PLATES". Kevin, taken aback jokes "what? okay..this is FWD". The dude was NOT amused. He again threatened and demanded unreasonably that we go 5mph as we exit. In the mean time, we drive past another driver who is shouting our license plate numbers across the parking lot to the event admin.

Talk about outrageous. We did nothing to instigate the hostility towards us. From minute zero, you could tell that they did not want us there. No one looked our way and everyone was standoffish.

Epic bull plop.


So we hosted our own event...called one corner, one car at a time. Even a cop joined us. He was on our side.

It's so loud here!

Well...it's been a while since I've updated. I haven't had much time really. I am just taking a few minutes before KPhan and Jon get here to sit down and type.

These last couple weeks have been spent getting cars ready. Some buddies of mine and myself worked pretty hard on preparing my car for BOSSTOWN. Unfortuntely, it didn't pan out the way we had planned / I had hoped. I feel like I let some people down. And I'm sorry. It's the nature of the beast.

However..this next couple of months will be spent with focus on both the hatch and the vert. I am going to start the assembly next weekend. Today I am getting under the car with KPhan and we are going to inspect the brake lines. This needs to happen.

I'm thinking June 19th..BBQ Cruise at my place. All back roads, no stop lights..really not too many stop signs.. flat, smooth, windy...some fast roads. Should be fun. I have to map out a solid route but I was thinking ending up at somewhere either in Lowell or Nashua.

BOSSTOWN this past Sunday was truly more epic than I think any of us expected. Much more cars showed up than I thought would..and it was just awesome. I hope we are able to reproduce these meets throughout the spring and summer. I can't wait!

Well..I would post pics of Bosstown, vid of Bosstown..but most of you who read this have already seen it.

Next entry might be a little more exciting.

Hey do you remember that guy Larry next door?

So..big and important news! Bosstown is Sunday. Weather is promising at the moment! I'm pretty pumped. Pay day is Friday. I have to register the car on that day. I have some painting to do that I was hoping to get done with a particular buddy of mine. And we had biiiig plans for all sorts of outrageous sexiness.. problem is..now he probably can't come by. Boner killing.

In other news.. Marchmas is coming up. I had plans to get Leon something pretty sweet but I realized he might not feel the gift is as sick as I do. That fucking queerbait! Oh well..I guess I will just have to find something else! Hahaha.

Speaking of Leon..this weekend he came up and we went to Funworld in Nashua. That place sucks. But, they do have Stage 3 Initial D..which we pwn the shit out of (and look like assholes doing it). I mean, seriously. We're legitimate adults. Not like 20 year old adults. Like..real adults...cussing and tearing up a hilariously shitty, yet undeniably awesome arcade game.

After finishing up there we went to Kevin Phan's place to do Leon's Exhaust. Long story short, the bolts for the cat flange were SOOO rusted that it took nearly 30 minutes each. One we ended up having to torque stress enough to break it. The other one took some careful and precise wrenching. Moreover, the hangers on the muffler were so riddled with rust deposit and build up that we had to cut the rubber hanger bushings. But..luckily the install took like..5 or 10 minutes. Now Leon is loud and asshole like. Just like the rest of us. Not quite AS loud as me (FUCK) but loud enough to disturb him. hahahaha. And btw..that is not either of us playing the Initial D game.

Did I mention that I was going with Candy to see Weird Al in Concert? WTF!!?? Hahaha.. as if Summer couldn't rule hard enough, Weird Al comes to the area. Priceless. I've never seen him before, but as a Child I adored his songs. Fuck Raffi, fuck that other dude with the guitar. Weird Al. Straight thuggin', Son.

Also, hey..got another dog. His name is Nachito. He is also of the Jack Russell mix variety. You can check a picture of him out on Candy's Blog. He is Jack Russell, Bull Terrier. I have awarded him the "Worst Snoopy Ever" Award.

So yea.. Not a whole lot going on. I should do my brakes for the meet but I probably won't. (Be careful driving around me, guys..lol). Justin is coming up in the Morning. I gotta pick up my sister from School because of her modified schedule but I am still gonna try and hang with him for a few minutes.

Not much else to write.

In summation: Bosstown..go; Brakes are for mother nature; Open up your face and eat it; Dogs eat food and make bathroom; Initialize on Saturday; Exhausts rule; Cheesy teeth Bitches.
