Pics from Sept 3rd Willow Springs Event
Took some shots of the event but only 2 Z's showed up and one Z driver on his Varis ....
And here is Tekwon V ( Steve ) in his Z
Steve's showing off JDM shot
The Yaris and the Lotus Elise
The Yaris was driven by Jeff ( 03Z33 ) and he got great times on the car. I then went for a 3 lap race with Jeff in the Elise and let me say it was a scary ride to say the least. Jeff knows how to attack the track and the Elise is a hell of a track car not the fastest on the track but the car takes corners with little or no braking. I was in for quite a suprise almost to the piont of getting weasy in the car....

Thanks for the sweet pics Ed! It was great meeting you Steve!
During one of the sessions I was driving the Elise with Gio in the passenger seet, we where right behind that white Z and he went into turn 1 WAY hot and had a big off track!!
was pretty sketchy but he did the right thing and took it straight into the dirt... car seemed fine. I wish we got it on video, it was pretty scary looking! 
It was my first time on track with the Yaris and not the last
I just hope the drivers of more expensive cars don't get too upsett about getting lapped by a $10k econo-car

Plus the car in front of you is gonna kick up rocks and stuff too. Since everyone is pretty much following real close and using the same line you end up with a lot of chips.

I had my car at Willow Springs back in July, and it was my first time on the track with the Z. It was a Blast. I wanna get back up there sometime. I did have a boiling issue with my Brake and power steering fluid though. Nice pics. Makes me miss the track.
