It was a BLAST! Most fun I've ever had in a car. I took the EVO out for 20 minutes of hot laps........WOOHOO that car is easy to drive fast. Brakes like a mother fucker too!
I started out half way back in a pack of 15 or so cars and passed everyone that started in front of me except the first and third cars, even managed to lap two cars. I had two 2nd gen RX-7's start right in front of me that were full race prepped with toyo ra-1's (not fair). I passed them on the second lap. Also passed a new Mazdaspeed protege, jetta vr-6, miata, a heavily modded wrx and a few others. Starting right behind me was another heavily modded wrx that hung with me in the beginning till we got past most of the slow traffic, but then I didn't see him again until the cooldown lap.
Also saw some cool drifting from Greaser
There were tons of nice cars there. The scene is 180 degrees from a dragstrip. I was in heaven....M3's, Porches, Ferraris, and Audis as far as you could see. Saw 3 STI's and 4 Evos, a few s2k's and supra's. Lots of nice nissans too. If you didn't go this year, put it on the calendar for next year.
I'll post pics in eye candy this week as I get time. I wish somebody had video of me ripp'n up the twisties. My tires were squealing their ass off!
