Many of the R-Rides are with Zack and the RareJDM crew, some are TWCompetition. We're all still R-Rides, it was never meant to be a team or crew. Just a bunch of car guy enthusiasts that were havin fun together.

I owe you some gloves! Still have them from the Street Legals. I was happy just to make it to the event and be with my boys for the Team Overall run. I ended up with 5 trophies.

Our group originally was R Rides, and then we split to 2 groups, RareJDM and Rookie, Marty, and Caskyline (Randy) joined TWCompetition.

I'm not official with any group for now, but we'll see.... hmmm, maybe I should start a "Speedraver" crew...hahahha, requirements: have a cool car and be able to dance with the gogo dancers on stage! j/k

TWC is a team... they have some of the nicest cars out there and are a great group of guys Last year we were all part of R-Rides, and towards the end of the season some of the members went over to TWC. This year we (Rare JDM) started a new team, and some of the R-Rides guys came over, some went to TWC. Either way, we're all still friends and help each other out when we can.

I remember not long ago asking Viet "what's next?"... his response was "what else can I do?"...

As usual - Viet one-ups himself again

-------------------------------------------------------

Congrats Viet! On the ride and the trophies

Heat shield is part of the JWT kit, it bolts to the manifolds. Randy polished them up which is why it's probably noticeable now.
