Some of Rob's pics. He's a great photographer. Shout out to Terrance for bringing him out. :headbang:
I think I passed you on the last session early on and tried to stay ahead of you but was feeling too much heat and had to let you go back out in front. It was a blast! I had the Black R.

Well, here's the video of my best lap of the day. Ignore the Ikaika helmet floating around. I messed up and forgot to take it out before going out on track. It's your visual G meter now!

Damn good footwork Jessie! You're inspiring me to work on my heel toe technique instead of just getting autoblip like I was planning on.

Solid work bro. Youā€™re nice and smooth on corner entry. Love the foot cam! Might have to steal that idea!

I bet you could drop a half second or so shifting less. I stayed out 2nd entirely and stayed in 4th gear from turn 4 to star Mazda. But you donā€™t get as many chances to nail those downshifts staying in 4th! :)
100% agreed! We can stay in 4th basically from Club Corner alllllll the way until the Star Mazda turn. I'll try staying in 4th through the bus stop next time but it's so fun downshifting to 3rd right before Phil Hill and throwing the car in that I don't think I'll stop that :D

Thanks man! I messed up in a few places, not blipping enough or giving it a little too much but it's so much fun and rewarding when you nail it that I don't mind being a little bit slower. It makes you want to shift more than you need to though :lol:

Thanks pointing that out! The only problem is [MENTION=20243]50 Deep[/MENTION]ā€˜s R is ruining my spotlight :lol:
I told you we would be in for a great ride when you got the wheels. Now look at us :headbang:

Man seeing this post makes me insanely jealous we couldn't make it. We are in the middle of some house project prior to moving this summer. I turned the day of for a track day into a day off of painting!

Awesome pictures, driving and friendship! It amazes me how a car can bring people together, pretty damn cool!

Totally agree with you! Havenā€™t seen you in a while! We should get some of the locals and meetup for a Bay Area cruise before you guys take off! TX, right?

Anyone happen to get any videos in the Advanced group of the Lightning blue with white stripe 350? I forgot all my go pro gear at home and one particular video I'd be very interested in was in the first session I got very sideways through cotton corners while in a group of cars.

We totally need to, it's been a while! We're a week away from things settling down, once we get pass that I'll sync up with everyone and get some plans together. Yes, looking like we're heading home to TX but haven't set a date yet.

Here's me trying to keep up with Nick [MENTION=26919]viva_brasil[/MENTION] during that same session.

[ame]

He was taking it easy while I was catching him, then when he saw me on the front straight going for the pass he turned up the heat and took off :lol:

Good times :D

I'd be up for that, especially if it's in the North Bay. It may be a distance for some, but driving Mt. St. Helena is a blast.

How can you drive with that thing flopping around from your mirror? I thought that loose items in the cabin is a no no on track? Must have been a very laid back track day.
