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:
