I know I'll have a mixed review.

You know what, can I take your 3-4 slot? I'd love to get a first hand experience of what is exactly different from driving both cars.

What do you guys think the course/drive will be like? I never did one of these before...not sure what to expect.

I know we can't go crazy

Have you ever done an autocross? My bet is that it's probably gonna be something close to that.

Also, would anyone be down to grab food afterwards?

Judging from videos from the other locations, you get two runs on a very tight course. Its just for getting a feel of the car really.

I so excited right now...

I was on the waiting list & got an email today that a spot opened up for me! I took the 4-5pm slot, if anyone is in that one let me know. Getting my tC cleaned up that morning & rocking my 2AZ fitted. Can't wait to put my hands on the FR-S!!!

Maybe I will stop by with my FR-S.

Nope, like I said, never did anything like this before. How fast you think they'd actually let you drive?

Normal autocross might have you maxing out at around 60mph.

From the video from the Baltimore event though, I thought it looked like they were going max of 40mph. Just my guess though.
