Here's some pics I have..I think I have a short video but my phone ran out of storage a few minutes into a session.

My ride:

Car looked great man and you were driving really well! I think I saw you had harnesses in your car. What are you running? Sorry I didn't have a chance to talk more in the garage - track days are always super busy when I'm instructing. I'm out on track literally 45 minutes out of every hour of the day.

Thanks..the black BRZ with the harness was Draco-Rex on here. Both our cars look pretty similar though. I did talk to you (if you had the red FRS). I think you passed me on the 2nd to last session. The last session was my favorite when I ran the whole time with the stability control fully off. The car felt a lot more natural and I was running a lot faster. The stability control was helpful in the AM rain though

I wish I could but that's the weekend I begin my MBA program down in Chapel Hill

I had a tough time picking up the right speed through turn 1 but my last session it finally clicked. I had some issues in the AM through turn 12 but when it dried up wow you can carry some speed. The chicane is obviously fun but turns 7 and 8 I really had a good line and was gaining on some of the faster cars there. Hopefully I can get back up there again, that's an awesome track! I'd feel a lot more comfortable pushing it harder next time. The line I had to drive in the rain threw me off but the afternoon sessions were great.

I'm a wuss in 1 and 12. :shrug:

1 + 12 in the FRS are lift/turn in corners - no brakes on stock HP with good tires. Car wants to walk around a little bit, just have to turn in earlier and smoother.

I equate them to turn 12 at Road Atlanta - very fast, high level of commitment needed. Once they click, they click though and are super fast.

Both are super fast and super fun in the S2000 on Sticky A6s

I got a few more:

Late Model Stock car - A guy watching next to me said he clocked him at 1:39 on a lap FWIW:

Another shot of the S2K carnage:

What a blast. Great instructors, I learned a lot.

That wide body Miata looked awesome - purposeful and mean.

I didn't have a recorded version (my phone ran out of storage) but my best lap was in the 1:58 - 1:59 range. I hit the back straight at 108mph and had a pretty similar line. Watching your video felt like I was driving
