Was just there a few days ago with some coworkers. Good fun, nice set-ups with seats that push on your butt+shoulders to simulate g's (I was actually able to use it to feel for limits/loss of grip at the end). Only thing I didn't like was that the servers kept crashing and we ended up sitting there waiting for it to reboot. Made me miss my iracing account though lol.

^^^ thanks for the invite

j/k

Yeah there's just something about playing with the wheel and pedals on a makeshift mount at home when the kids run between the screen and me and call themselves deers and squirrels. I tell them to cross behind the tv...the tv is on a stand against the wall. Then they would sit behind me and tell me they're the passengers. Kids!

If you're referring to the iracecenter they were talking about above, it's a driving simulator place right next to Wingstop in Fremont on Automall parkway.

I've only been there once so far, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Their milk teas taste a lot better than places like Quickly and other shops, and their shaved ice(?) items that they're well known for was SUPER delicious (although the only thing I can compare it to is something like Guppy Tea House down in SoCal). Give it a try though, I THINK you won't be disappointed? Haha

@Blaine - nice flowing track. Impressed on the your speeds thru the turns, good balance too. Passenger occupied?

Didn't make it out obviously, sorry. My kid's comp schedule has not favored MY Saturdays. I think she has a perf or rehearsal next Sat, can't tell until mid week. I'm just the driver hehe

Thanks! Yeah it was pretty fun and quick.

I'm to the point now where I need to start serious tuning on the FR-S. I have learned how to go as fast as I can with the car in it's current form. I've ordered a FSB and I'm going to do some suspension travel testing as well as damper tuning. Oh yeah and more alignment tweaking.
