What's winter? 3 laps with me around Laguna Seca
 
A few bolt-ons and Tein flex coilovers. I'm confident this was the last session on street tires, as the track was still a little wet from rain early in the morning.

Comical: Guy at the 5s mark goes into the pits - right across the driving line and lane without signaling - sweet!

Watch on the left at 5:30 (between turns 6 and 7) for the meatball flag for sound violation. I kept on-throttle (all other laps I lifted to keep under 92dB) up the hill past the sound check (between turns 5 and 6) while chasing Mr. Ford.

Lined up behind the GT-R and ready to go:

I cooked my rear brakes and rotors - again - so "had time" to get a bunch of rides in the GT-R. I was superbly impressed, especially given stock tires and brakes, but it honestly seems too easy to drive. You lose that car:driver:road connection since electronics do so much for you.

New Hoosiers I scrubbed in during another group's session:

Track days there occur quite often between various groups. Typical price is about $300-350.

Looks like a blast, one track I want to get on myself sometime. I've had the privilege of being too loud at two differnet events.

Are your 5Zigen's 17's? If so do you know if a BBK will fit in with those wheels?

I have the Stoptech 332mm kit in the front - fits fine. They are 17x10s.
