Excellent time was had by all, fast cars, cool people, relatively light turnout, a bit warm but breeze was nice. I hit a best lap of 1:31.5, which made me very happy considering that I am still on the stock Pirelli's which are now worn out, and stock shocks and struts. I think I will be deep into the 1:20's with my new suspension stuff and tires. After the hot laps, Todd and Patrick and I went for Mexican food and beers and tequila shots! Woo wee!!!!!

Great to hear it! Congrats on that time Chris!

One semi-cautionary comment, if I may... aim a tad low (e.g. 1:29.anything) and outperform! Bolting on speed (even tires) takes a bit of time to show up in laptimes, well... at least for me :D

Any 'stang pix? Did you have a group of 4 or more? :cheers:

It was the three of us but it was bad Ass! I fell in love with the track. I can't wait to go back but it's scary because it's not a cheap hobby. I need to start making some serious dough! A HUGE THANKS to [MENTION=21104]BTM[/MENTION] and [MENTION=19793]2morrow[/MENTION] for the knowledge and fun times from my first track day. Unfortunately don't have any good video my go pro kept falling. I'll post what pics and short video I have tomorrow.

BTW folks, get on board with NCRC. I might get up to $1000 back as a track addict! :) More if I had not been plagued with mechanical's !

Laguna Aug 1st is almost full, no novice group this time. I cannot recommend this organization enough!

Here's my second fastest lap last night, unfortunately the camera glitched and stopped recording for my fastest one which was half a second quicker...
