@overlookedx
Yep, like B said we all mostly called it quits before the last session and started to pack up. A few more hard-core driving junkies like @RehabJeff86 and @Doborder stayed to finish the last sessions though. Big thanks to NCRC for putting on another great track day. And huge thanks to @garfull who connected us with his friend/coworker Alex with the beautiful white Datsun 240Z, and his family who graciously shared their food, water, and shade with us under the tents! Another thank you goes out to fellow BRZ owner Adam ( @AyJay ) who brought out his extremely fast track-prepped S2000 and took many of our members out for some scary fast laps and helped share tips and advice with our drivers. Same to @sw20kosh for also taking people out for rides in his supercharged black demon. Shout out to Sandy ( @BRZkitty ) and bf Matt who brought and shared bottled water with us and Ed ( @RC51ed ) for bringing ice and helping me out with my car throughout the day. Story and coverage is up on 86DRIVE.com! A few more are up on the site but I will hopefully have some video to share later as well.

@RC51ed Some say... that his red racing stripes can be seen from low orbit. All we know is, he's called Ed!

I've hated this thread the past couple weeks. Post up some cool pics and stories that will make me hate it some more
Looked like everyone had a good, safe time.

I wasn't going to attempt 4th flat out, as the wall immediately to the left of turn 6 kept reminding me to play it safe

But hell almost every turn at Laguna is a high speed turn. Average speed of 75mph. EDIT: Not average corner speed, but overall average speed through the track

Buttonwillow on Black Friday sounds very enticing (perfect for a long weekend). I may just try to sign up, hopefully I hadn't used up all my brownie points tho lol |

With the non-stop debauchery that is thanksgiving at my house, I'm not so sure I'd be able to wake up at 3-4am (The "itis" is strong with this one)
