Had a great time at the event last Sunday! Learned a lot! S/o to Sean(i think he's a member here he said but forgot his username. He has a SWP BRZ and he was driving it yesterday!) Very good instructor! Learned a lot and I did meet my expectations and goals!
I spun out! I'm proud of it! traction controls are all off in one of my run to test where I am and what are things I need to learn in controlling the behavior of the car in such a speed. S/O to @CSG Mike and the other people here in the forum for the advices and for making me ready for the experience!

Awesome officials and instructors from NASA.

Few twins were present there too!
(my bad for the over tape but need to protect it! Haha)

Right on. Glad you had a good time. I went to my first HPDE in February, had a blast and learned a lot. I really like Sonoma Raceway.

Gotta protect that paint! Hope you had a great time.

Yessir! and i don't have any clear bra on it so that's my way to go. haha wanted to test out how that prius tires work and it is really easily will slide. Just want to wear it out too so I can have a reason to buy some new tires and put my new wheels on. ;)

Big Thanks to @frsguy707 for letting me barrow the Gopro that day and @86_ZN6 for the mount! :party0030:

Yeah I didn't tape my front up, still have rubber all over the front of the car lol.

Sounds like you had a fun day!

My first first firs track day was at Sonoma last year. My favorite track, but can be a dangerous one to spin out on considering how many concrete walls their are.

86_ZN6 03-19-2013 11:35 PM

need to invest on clear bra and grippy tires my friend!

your welcome for the GP mount

Yes. you're right! A very technical track and dangerous because of the concrete walls. Might do other tracks like Thunderhill to be on a safe side a little bit. But it's so much fun!

I remember you from the weekend. The tape was awesome!

I drive an E36 M3 in TT so I saw you on the grid.

BTW, The walls are only dangerous if you are.
