Norcal Track Days
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.

No need to be afraid of Laguna, but given the elevation changes and the walls, it certainly IS a track that deserves a lot of respect. Maybe you have seen this before, but this is some vid I took (I did not put the vid together though, hence the music). The fun starts about 2:10 with the ZCG 370: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFuOcX4MQ_U
Well, you can tell there was some traffic, and I was also pacing the 370. The Z has a few more HP, braking, and grip than when this video was taken, but I was still driving it hard. I think we were mostly doing mid 1:40s that day, with some upper 1:40s in traffic. I run low-mid 1:40s now, and still searching for that high 1:30. Laguna is a HP track, but I still chase down the big Vettes.
Why do you ask?

Seems like a $6000 or so track day, maybe in a few years.

...hehe on gran turismo
Some of those turns looked dangerous. That sun seemed directly in his face.
I forgot I also made this trailer from our track event a couple of months ago. Just a short clip edited with my passing only.
