Nice meeting you guys today and it was nice seeing the people I already knew at the event. Sorry I didnt get to give more people a ride but even my girlfriend only rode with me once. I owe Johnson's brother a ride so hopefully we can all meet at this track or another track that allows passengers in the very near future. Johnson's car is pretty fast. It felt faster than my FD but I'm making stock power Too bad Mike's shock went out very early in the day. Mike, if you want, come out to my place and we can use my air tools to replace your shock

I was trying to keep up with that R8. We would enter the track together but he would immediately take off like a bat out of hell sliding around until his tires got up to temp We kept passing people but he started to pull away since he could pass more people at a time on the straights than me Too bad I forgot my SD card reader at home and couldnt get video of all my session except for one where one of my wheel's lugs got loose while chasing a GT3

Altough this track wasnt the greatest, I had lots of fun driving and being able to use the garages was a very nice bonus on a sunny day

When I went in the afternoon there were tons of Miatas and S2000s, not too many RX-7s.

Yeah, I'll most likely try those, at this point I really have nothing to lose! I've heard the Carbotechs were great too, although a bit pricey.

Found the vid of my close call:
