Um, there's "leaky fuel" and then there's whatever the hell that was. I take it that point by he gave you at the end of that lap was to signal that he had run out of fuel?

He certainly blew his turn 11 onto the straight. But he leaked fuel all over the track. His buddy in another kit car spewed oil everywhere and my car is still covered after a wash.

Are you going out with HOD to Laguna on 12/5 or Thunderhill on 12/10? I'm thinking about those days but it depends on the rain.

Do some track days in the rain if you haven't before.

I've done this once and it's humbling and educational. It was odd being passed by Audi's and Ford AWDs.

LOL, I know right. I got passed by literally everyone. An M4 passed me, spun a couple corners ahead and then passed me again in a heavy downpour. Very educational lesson in car control though, especially on the goodyears

Norcal racing has a 2 day at laguna on the 26th/27th of this month with a few spots still open in the faster groups and the best thing it's only $189 per day. If anyone wants to go on Sunday I can give free instruction or you can chase my Spyder around.

Spyder? Is that what you've named your car or the car you're driving on Sunday?

At that price can you tell me:

1. How many run groups do they have?
2. How many sessions each group gets for the day?
3. How long is each session?
4. How many cars are on the track per run group?

Great laps but those cars held you back! I'll bet you could have pulled off a 1:49-1:47 or so if they did not hold you back and you did not have to let off at the hill... The December track days are tempting especially at that price!

backeddy · 11-21-2016, 09:56 PM

Hi, they are normal 4-5 session days at 20 minutes each.....HOD is too expensive, every group is cheaper then they are and usually waaay more fun as no one else cones offs areas of the track except HOD. There are never more than 20 cars per group. The new car is a Spyder :-)
