I paid 150 for the whole day, the weekend was 300 bux.

Then I used up 2 1/2 tanks of gas. And I got pulled over for speeding on the way back.

I'm gonna need time to recover.

Damn right! haha

I had a tiny oil leak, probably from the uncapped pcv, but it didn't bother me too much. Water temps never peaked 105 C, and I think I was ok with oil temps as well, since I'm using synthetic and the cooler gets full exposure. Brakes were good, the tranny didn't complain too much. Damn it was fun.

Did you happen get pulled over on the 405 heading south, kinda near the 101? I remember seeing a black 2nd gen on the side of the road.

Anyways, nice pictures man, did you purchase those from the Redline photographer or what?

I got pulled near the track, on the 5.
