Haha yes forgot about how much that sucked! Thanks for the reminder.

By the way, just ordered the AP Sprint Big Brake Kit!

Well done sir! I just sold mine last week

That is a very different perspective! I don't have enough seat time there (2 visits most recently NARRA TT) to honestly feel comfortable at night but it sure looks interesting. Hopefully I can get more daylight seat time there this year for now.

Once I get around to selling it, it'll be gone from my garage. I just don't use it anymore so what's the point in having it? Have a race car, a track car, a DD and a weekend fun toy.. and a BRZ garage queen.

Here's a picture from the night event, going into Turn 7:

I'll be ordering the Sprint brake kit in the next week. I'm planning on doing a few more track days in 15 than 14.

Love the glowing rotors.

Wow, that looks like good fun!

I haven't done any events with Chin, just NASA, Darkside, and Hooked on Driving. Should be doing some PCA events next year after I do their instructor school in February.

The BMW is getting a bit on the older side. Why not daily the BRZ?

M3 has more space, better visibility, a lot more torques, huge DGAF factor on parking, etc and it's insurance is about 60% what the BRZ is. Oh and no car payment. Way better heated seats too

Why DD the brz? Can't think of many reasons and given multiple coil pack failures etc I'm not ever sure I can add reliability to the list lol

I guess you have a point. Although coil packs shouldn't be an issue under for a daily driven car.

Night event was awesome as expected

Glowing rotor pics will show up soon I'm sure.
