yeah that was my first time there. it was my second event ever too. I have always wanted to race Laguna so I can check that off the things to do before death list now. I did Sears last month with NASA and that was a far better event than Saturdays. After getting some seat time with that female instructor, Michelle, I finally got faster and by the end of the day I was under 2 mins.
I need to get some race only tires for sure and hopefully when I go back to LSIR I will be significantly faster.

great videos and nice line
I would send pics but all the ones my wife took show me off line (dolt!).

Interesting choice. Do you feel like you need the top end of the T04R? I was considering a T04S before ... since I was looking for quicker response. I ended up with the J-spec twins, but I'm interested in what made you choose the R trim.

Hey fabian, I keep forgetting to ask-- when I was drooling over your engine bay, it looked like you had dual ASTs plumbed-- or maybe an AST and a separate metal expansion tank-- how did you set up your cooling system?

Good lap times guys. Wish I was there.
Last week I did a speed ventures event at Buttonwillow.
Nate Chez, who is the SCCA T1 national champ mentioned that a good T1 time around Laguna is 1:39.
I have never run Laguna so I can't comment but I always like to use the T1 class as a bench mark. T1 is basically z06 vettes and vipers.
I also wish we had more of a turn out at events. We should make a group effort to post upcoming events.
I'll do my part.

AWESOME vids and pics. for some reason, i was expecting LSIR to be longer than it is. ive raced it so many times in gran turismo 3 too.
there were some damn nice looking cars there. too bad some of the drivers looked pretty new. so this was the ferrari club? was it a full race or more of a touring/test'n'tune session?
also... what was the temperature like? did you guys have any overheating problems?
