First Track Day (vid)

Finally did my first track day...well first one where I was driving and not wrenching.

A good friend of mine rented out thunderhill. We got about 30 guys to chip in(friends, friends of friends) There was a mix of fully built race cars to random street cars. It was a completely open track day. 9-5 with no groups and open passing, and it was amazing. Go do 10 runs, get off, chat, ride with someone, drive some more. Most fun Ive had in my car yet!

It rained in the morning, dried up by 11 and then rained again around 2. Driving in the rain was interesting, especially on my horrible tires. But the track did dry up for a few hours, and I was able to get about 30 laps in the dry. At one point I even had the track to myself for about 7 laps.

Like I said, first ever time on the track driving, so be nice

Great video, nice angles of the track. And I think you should post a link on NorCal's HPDE thread too. The more we view the track online, the more we can be acquainted to it.
