Hey Trainwreck! Sorry I did not get to chat much... I was overcoming oversteer problems with my car and was having a hard time. I got the Z spin out on video. (its ok, cause later I lost it in that turn in front of a vette too!). Actually I got a lot of "offs" on video. Too bad you didn't stay on Sunday. I was having a much better day.

I gotta start transfering the video soon. On Sunday, you missed the miata that rolled over. A lot of people were having bad luck all weekend. A couple wrecks, and a lot of mechanical failures. I saw a Mazda 3 puking oil, porsche with coolant leak, mini stalled out, etc.....

Oh wow, I wanted to stay for both days but my buddy needed to be home sunday. Make sure to link me to the video when you get it up. What kind of times were you running?
What mods do you have on the car? Your bother Jeff told me you had intake, exhuast and coilovers.. anything else? Stock port motor? Was the miata driver alright? I'm just glad both the vett and M3 drivers walked away fine.

Are you in socal, or San francisco?

Well it nice to meet you and nice seeing another FC at the track. Hope to see you at the next event.

BMW was going to fast going into the esses, and looks like Vett lost it coming out of star mazda. The radical tried to avoid rearending a MR2 in the esses, locked it up a bit and spun out. This is what happend Saturday, not sure what went on sunday. All these were just single person accidents, though the BMW and vett wrecked in the same lap with in 10 seconds of each other. All the drivers walked away fine.

Hey Jack, do you have that video of the Z spinning out. That was actually my friend (wasn't at the track but he told me about it). I need material to clown on him :-D. Lol thanks!
