Track time is a blast. I've only been once, but I plan to go back to Thunderhill in November. Should be a good time

You just gotta love track time .. a chance to really give the car a good workout, not to mention carve up cars that many would believe to be faster!

Looks to me like he was far more ahead, but I just came back from school, so please understand.

I'm jealous............the back straight at Sebring is the longest and the my Rex will only get to about 125 before having to brake for turn 17........it's just shy of 1/2 mile, I think..........even some badass NSX's only hit around 135 or so..............
