ClubFR is proud to announce we have partnered up with Kenda Tires this season. For the year of 2012 we will be able to provide all of our active members (people that drive at our events) Kenda Tires at their racer program discount. Kenda tires are fairly new to the drift scene but have been receiving rave reviews across the US. Kenda tires offer high performance grip as well as high endurance out on the track.

We will be making purchases once per month to Kenda with delivery to Bolingbrook, IL. All tires will be delivered to one place and it is your responsibility to make arrangement to pick these tires up. Contact me for more details regarding this. The first order will be end of January, and one per month. I will collect the money and place the order. Payments accepted are cash, paypal (+fees), and Chase money transfers (for Chase bank members).

Sizes available are listed below. Contact me at Simba@clubfr.net for pricing and payment details.

A few items to note:
- Only one order will be placed per month, if you miss it, you must wait till the next round
- All deliveries to one location, as of now it will be in Bolingbrook, IL, you must arrange for pick up, or if kind enough I can deliver.
- This is for ClubFR members only, ClubFR reserves the right to deny any orders as well as Kenda reserves the right to cancel this deal, do not ruin it for people
- These tires are NOT for resale, if ClubFR or Kenda concludes someone is reselling these we reserve the right to cancel anything and everything
- We will be trying to get a deeper discount throughout the year, the more purchases the more likely we can get something better, so help us help you

1. How did you hear about ClubFR?
   Good question.  My old man brain doesn’t remember.  Probably from Rob when the Chicago OGs came out to drift in MN.
2. How long have you been drifting?
   Did some HPDE in early 2000s, started drifting in 2003 I think.  Damn.
3. What was your first car?
   First car ever was a ’79 Grand Prix.  Two tone, V8, front end lowered.  Slow as hell but looked rad.  Props from white trash everywhere I went.
4. What was your first drift car?
   Duh, 240sx.
5. Where did you learn to drift?
   Mainly learned at a track we used to have in MN.  There’s a large skidpad that was great for beginner level low speed all season tire shenanigans.  It did get old pretty quick, luckily ClubFR developed and I was able to progress from the different track offerings.
6. What is your favorite mod on your current car?
   Love the 1j.  Love the Stance coilovers.  It’s a tie.
7. What do you wish you had on or in your car?
   Can I wish it was a different car?  JZX110.
8. Deep dish or New York style pizza?
   I like both, but, New York.
9. Android or Apple?
   Android please.
10. Which do you prefer, street driving, or track, and why?
    Track.  Street has no upside.  Cops, thieves, horrible drivers, potholes, roadkill, traffic, stoplights, etc.
11. If you had a choice would you have a low powered car like a Corolla, a high powered 2 door, high powered 4 door, or anything with a V8, what would you choose?
    Blacked out JZX110 Verossa, 2jz, heavy wheels.
12. Sandra Bullock or Jessica Alba
    Rob Riter.
13. If you had a free flight to anywhere in the world, where would you go?
    I’ve never done the typical sandy beach vacation thing, so how about Bora Bora.
14. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?
    I love MN.  Only other state I’ve been to that I like more so far is Colorado.
15. Form or function?
    Function.
16. GT5 or Forza?
    Real life.  See #15.
17. In a three car tandem, which position would you like to be in (front, middle, or rear)?
    Rear.  I love following.
18. If you could take anyone’s car for drifting whose would you take (both ClubFR cars & worldwide)?
    Saito’s JZX or Dmac’s Solstice.  Or any ASD built car.
19. What is one skill you want to get better at in drifting for 2011?
    Initiation.
