thoughts of D.*MIRACLE

From the group chat to the track Club Handz is one of those events that feels like hanging out with the homies all day. Whether you were there from the beginning or just getting into it everyone is welcoming and cheering you on.

Thanks to Erick, Jaime and Dom for going out of their way to come grab me to caravan up to Grange. E and Jaime just did an event prior but still made the time to come visit Handz and throw down.

Dezz and his daughters prepping the S13 for the day. As you can see she was ready to judge all the cars with the finger pointer.

JR didn’t drive one of his 50 cars this event but was still vibing out there.

Greyson rolling in with his car and getting pit parking directions from Travis.

Track preparations on lock.

A bit of a late drivers meeting call but track was hot just a few mins after this.

Quick lap to make sure the fire extinguishers were on track.

Can we just appreciate how Kem’s GR86 looks. Good styling cues and really makes it look like a modern day AE86.

Team Gas Panic rolling in deep with the two car trailer.

Travis eager to check out his new engine on track.

Unfortunately it had some issues but when it was on track the noises were amazing. Those trumpets were singing. Can’t wait to see this car completed.

More cars rolling in.

Chris with the Bucees special keeping that California sun out.

Beams powered Corolla fastback. Had a chance to chat with him while grabbing some coffee from Three Spoke Coffee. What a build and you just can’t buy cars like these anymore for cheap.

Kyu’s S14 just getting some last min fixes in before absolutely killing on track. It was his first time at Grange and most people never go that hard! Props to you Kyu!

Mark heading out for some laps.

I spotted these old school wheel keychains for sale and wanted to get some but I couldn’t track down the owner maybe next time!

Victor finally driving his coupe after many years. Was great to see him out there again!

Black on chrome is always a good look.

Dom’s Z rocking a very fresh set of VS-XX. The color combo goes hard.

Even harder on track.

Erick also throwing down some nice laps in the comfy SC.

Corollas on Corollas.

Lap after lap everyone got a lot of seat time in this event.

Mikes wheel and tire delivery service.

Dom also getting some tires done.

Dans 86 with a fresh LSD ready to test out the new setup.

Looking pretty good if I say so!

Charlie and his pops having a good time in the pits.

But alas it was nap time.

Chavez taking advantage of the open track during golden hour.

Dezz going on a nice sunset drive as well.

BMW was getting down all day from the very first lap.

Big body LS swinging!

Old vs new Corolla.

Rotating tires out for some quick laps before the end of the day. Thanks Kem for letting me get a lap in this. Excited to throw on my knuckle kit and get some driving in.

As the day came to a close everyone said their goodbyes and were all asking when the next handz would be. Anticipation for the next one maybe some time in October? Who knows. All I know is I will be driving the next one 🙂

CLUB x HANDz out.
