No video. Too busy setting up my car to eliminate the massive understeering (still couldn't get that fixed) and skid pads fun. Drove my friend's stock s2000CR and man, this thing is so balance and quick on the track even in the rain.

I was surprised how Scott managed staying on the track with slicks and no ABS....

a 350z in chrono (time attack series) went into turn 8 (really fast turn) and I guess he got sideways and went into the dirt and flipped multiple times. They said driver was "OK" but I didnt see him, just his car..

Looking to do a few Nor Cal Track Days this year since I want to experience some new tracks.

I see that Speedventures is running an Infineon and Laguna Seca event this year. Any other track day groups I should look into (other than NASA)?

I was out on track in the chrono series when that happened. Just wanted to see if the video made it over here. Spectacular scary carnage! Glad the driver was ok.

my friend was behind him (not sure if he was recording or not) and like 1 lap before it happened he pulled into the pits. What car were you in? I only saw one 350z in CHRONO
