Picture from Thunderhill Track Day event
I just went to my first track day and had a real good time. For those of you who are on the fence of participating to a track day, I would highly recommend them! I had lots of fun and I thought the car handled extremely well. Below is a nice shot of my car from the event.

Thanks for all the kind words. I will post more pics later, but the rest of the pics were taken in the paddock areas or on my way to/from the track.
Suspension wise, Im bone stock. I also had stock brakes. My mods are light: 5/16 plenum spacer, stillen z tube, gordgee grounding wires, SF challenge with 245/35-19 and 275/35-19. The car definitely performed well. No issues whatsoever going back and forth to the track (300 miles each way), 4 sessions at 95 degree, etc. I was dead tired at the end. The G was a pleasure to drive though. It was very comfortable for the long trip and a blast on the track.

Yea. Sway will definitely help. Given its my first track day, I just want to feel how the car handle first. No track wheels yet unfortunately. More pics below:
The car. Pictures were taken awhile back... Sides and Front are coming soon.
At the track with my friend's Miata
After the track:
Tire melting and fusing with rubbers
Roadkills on the way back from the track
Just spent couple hours washing her on the weekend.

Tires are Kumho SPT. Pretty much everyone's tires look like that after the track day, so I dont think the brand would make much difference. Many people ran Racing tires though...
