Great pics, I think I counted about 10 pics where I was cleaning my platinum graphite 370Z or my bro's red 370Z...haha.

Did you have a co-pilot for the track shots? I love them, especially the long line ups and onbrd track shots.

Wow, I'm so jealous that you got to drive that track.

I know that entire track so well because of the countless hours spent on
Gran Turismo LOL

Awesome they are..yes post up a few hi rez ones. I think there were a lot taking free hand shots, but these are the best I have seen.

I also was giddy the entire weekend just waiting for that moment to make the lap and what a surprise we got an additional lap...I got the fever!

^ Nice angle hitting the corner. I think I have a pic or two of your car. I talked with the photographer, because the bro's red 370Z was shadowed on the lower half and front end. He said it was the positioning of the sun and the shadows were more pronounced on the darker colored cars.

He re-edited the red 370Z and it looks better now. I will be buying both pics from both laps.


Here is the re-edited pic.

You may want to ask him for a re-edit......pssst don't tell him I told you. If you refresh on the photo album, you will see he removed the old pics of the red 370Z and replaced them with this version. Just ask him to fix your's to look like the red one.

Ad-libbed on a pic from Smackin

That dude was litter bug, leaving all his paper towels from detailing his car. I think he got sunstroke on Sat; he must have spent two hours out there detailing. I heard he was using the bottled water to fill up his water sprayer for cleaning his car. I wanted to kick his ****.




Pics by Forbes of Z Car Garage


Saturday' caravan from ZCG to Monterey' Laguna Seca




Christian' 240Z, he caravanned with us from Fairfield to ZCG.




Ahhh..and Joe Longo and his son Jarrett who also caravanned with us from Fairfield to ZCG. Jarrett had my DVD camcorder all weekend and is working on the footage to post up. Joe was at Hooters show n shine earlier this month with his super charged Roadster.




ZCG' shop 370Z




With StopTech BBK





Thats me in the back ground, shot from Forbes G35


Forbes G35, ZCG shop 370Z, my 370Z and the bro's red 370Z.




This beautifully restored 280ZX that Fred of Z Car Garage was driving down for a lap on the track. You could eat off the bottom of this car.

There’s that litter bug dude again in the background. Now he has the owner of the red 370Z littering also by throwing his paper towels over the top of his car, like no one saw this…I am gonna kick his **** also.

Alex' 280ZG who also carvanned down with us from Fairfield. Car look familiar? I first saw this car at a Zsocial put on by Alan, the first time I met Alan and this was Eric's old car until Alex just recently bought it. The car ran great and so did Christian' 240Z.



510








One of 2 green 240Z'





Rob Fuller owner of Z Car Garage at the exit of turn 2 right next to ZONC coral. Keep an eye on this attire and that beer can, because later you will another pic of him if you can reconize him.




The ever comical Fred of ZCG

View from Forbes G35 on the track




The energetic make a run up the hill to the cork screw



In the white t-shirt is Scott (I believe his sn on my350 is Scotts300) dunno know the other two, but they were part of the group.










Oliver' Nismo (LostCloud) from Esparto. He drove over with his buddy Taylor at 2:30 am Sunday morning to make the deadline check in for the track lap.





Now this a shot I would expect from Alan....taking a picture of me taking a picture....It’s a great shot that says it all.



I never saw this car...I think it was chopped into the picture...really never saw it. But there was another entry on the sign up list with a 370Z so prolly is..



Scott











Sunday's caravan from Z Car Garage



Guess who?
