hell, i think the drive to and from Laguna Seca was what devastated out paintjobs.

i didn't think my front could get any worse.

sadly, i was wrong.

time for a repaint + clear bra combo!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaah! $$$$$

I just got back today from Monterey stayed an extra night at the wife's request. Anyways, 4 words about the Laguna Seca track day "AWESOME TO THE MAX"!!! That was one helluva day from start to finish it was all FUN, FUN, FUN!!! Kudos to Clint, little grasshopper learn a lot from the "Track Master". Not to happy about my lap times my car was all over the place. My fastest time was 2:11, but I did learn a lot about my car. The Andretti turn was my favorite I was drifting out of that corner like there was no tomorrow. I still have to get my timing down the last run we had was the best one for me. Didn't have a lot of time to take pics but I will post what I have.

BTW....for those who missed the Laguna Seca track day..........well you guys missed out on a truly great day. Make sure you guys don't miss out the next one. If you people want to try out a track make it Laguna Seca. Simple yet scary, simple yet technical and if you think GT4 is the next best thing....believe me it's not even close.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I had a blast indeed and it was no problem taking you guys around the track. Glad to be of servce... My times were decent seeing I had a passenger 90% of the time but I had so much fun I dont care. Glad everyone made it there and back safe.

Rey hope I helped but you had it down 75% when we got out there just had to teach you a few lines. Clint is the line god Im still learning them.

Dru and Tom man you guys are too much. I had a blast shooting the **** with you guys.

Alex glad you came out man I didnt know you were coming I was really happy to see you. Good thing you brought the kid; I think it makes people really understand and respect speed. I think next track day Im gonna bring out my little bro. You are indeed a cool F-in Dad.

Clint I promise next time in listening to you RACE PADS 100% I checked the brakes today and swapped the rotors from right to left and the pads flexed I think they are about half gone and the top is 2-3mm thinner than the base.

Any way I'm working on the options to get the car fixed and we'll see how long it is out of action. I'd like to say that I'll do it again, but I don't think my wife would agree with that. Clint and Avo, you guys are great and your instruction was so helpful in getting me more comfortable with the car and how to make it handle.

Thanks a lot to all,

Ray
Hey Ray what time did your ride get to the hotel? What time did you guys leave after loading your car? Everything went well I hope on your return trip? Anyways man goodluck and hope you find a suitable solution for what happened. Take it easy, wife's are usually like that after husbands do a booboo.
