It was fine the rest of the way, as well as the way down.
Sounds like a cool event, any group picture to share?

Awesome shots Spirit Rx-7, and great looking FD

The Autoclub Speedway Infield configuration looks like fun. Were you able to run the T1 / T2 banking? Did you take any video?

its fun! the infield does not have the nascar banking, its a shorter verson. the one with the banking is called roval, which I did last year at sevenstock, love that configuration as well, scarier cause of the high speed

nice! I can see we have similar taste, we're also still on street tires as well

black FD's on track are the best! but than again im biased haha

Agreed. If one is going to do that, it should be with the appropriate aero to go with it.

Its not there for esthetic reasons. Just drove it up the canyon with them on for the hell of it this time. I used rivnuts to make them easily removable when the car is not on the track. They did make a reasonable difference on the high speed corners of Buttonwillow raceway. A GT wing wouldnt be appropriate unless I install a decent front splitter.

I do however think they look badass.
