Hey guys,

I moved to Buford from Orlando in November. I have a daily driver 2002 MR2 Spyder that I also use for autocross, track days, and even an occasional drift day. Right now, my car is perfect for autocross but doesn't really have enough power for wide open tracks. A K20 swap that I'm gathering parts for will fix that and I'll be more respectable on road courses (right now I'm a little faster than a Miata). I am very performance oriented and love taking turns. I had a group of friends in Orlando that were like me (S2000 guys actually) and we would go to track days, autocrosses, gokarting, Forza nights, meets, etc. If there's a similar group in Gwinnett county, I want in! Thanks. Btw, I'm loving the roads up here!
