I saw some of the z guys that autox at our private events there for the end of The Lemons Race. There is a silver Z (Dan) and an orange Z (BJ). They are good guys - say hi to them. I could not stay after being there all weekend.

I see the z that has "BSP" on the side of the car

I don't see any orange Zs, I'm gonna go look around though.

Yeah, the "BSP" one is Dan. He is a good driver, and the car is fast. I think it's their first time at T-hill though. Maybe BJ didn't take the orange Z, though I assume he did. The other brother is in a yellow E36 M3 and the dad is in a white E30 M3. The cars this weekend put about 20,000 laps down at T-hill, collectively.

Saw the orange Z, saw the white E30 M3, saw the yellow E36 M3 (was it the one with a cage in the back?)

Didn't get a chance to talk to them but did see them on track when I was getting a ride along.

Yep, we were there at THill on 8/8 (I'm BJ in the Orange Z). It was our first time at that track, but we all loved it and I'm sure we will be back soon. What were you driving SE5spd? Grey HR Z?

No I didn't race that day, my car is at the shop. I was doing ride alongs in the black S2000 CR for most the day. I didn't even see any HR Zs there that day.

You can get a mount that attaches to the head rest supports. If you have a GoPro, you can mount it anywhere.

Ya. We got a garage at Laguna - true race car team style like this weekend was with the Monterey Historics. I am bringing 12 wheels/tires, an extra set of brake pads, and enough gas to burn down a small town. I bet I get in 500 miles on the track over the 3-day period, which is about 70 gallons of gas. Ouch.

I got that email about the garage and then I realized; where do I keep everything for 3 days? Should have rented one but $$$ is going to emergency clutch replacement. TO bearing started making gravel right after I finished putting the coolers in and rebushed a few things up front.
