hhmmmm no circle in parking lot.... it was OKAY... its not anything that you couldnt do on your own... the class is pretty basic... it wasnt anything new for me... whether i'd go again would probably depend on if there were more people going... cuz only 5 bodies showed up...

Maybe we can organize it next time!

I was the other Z driver at Doc's clinic. The clinic was pretty basic, but I heard the one in November was a little better.

The best part of the clinic was the drive itself, which takes about 3.5 hours. It was also cool watching the G35 coupe lose his line around one of the turns while the Z holds steady--could be the driver. This is a spirited drive, so nobody is really trying to race or pass anyone. We do turnout every so often to make sure nobody gets lost.

3 of the people who showed up were people that I brought along from work at Xilinx. November was a much better turnout(~15). I will try to bring some more coworkers along for next time. There are at least 4 350z owners at Xilinx.

Has anyone seen screenshots of Gran Turismo 4? It looks like there is a pic of a 350z.
