jordan, coming out of the OMEGA is a little tricky (that part of WS is the best part, the rest is balls). Next time out, I'll show you my line, of course... let's keep in touch about meeting up. | ||

Thanks Hubert, Actually I was really hoping you would be there. On the next track day that we are both at, can you ride along with me and give me some pointers? Also, whats the trick to turn 5 (I think its 5...the downhill tight left turn) at Willow Springs? I cant figure it out. Watching Sunny drive it I thought i knew the right line but when I was driving it was a lot harder than it looks. Sunny has that power of making everything look easy  | ||

Byron, Im VERY hooked...Got a lot to learn but I enjoyed it so much yesturday. It was a tricky track though...I just couldnt get the ride line through a few of the hard turns there. Practice makes perfect though! Thanks again Sunny for letting me have a go at your car If the next track day is on October 25th (I think I heard it was) then Ill try and get up there with my own car. Its just the weekdays that are pretty challenging for me. Although once in a while, like yesturday, I could use a break from school and orchestra This club and all of you guys have given me so many awesome opportunities I would have never had if it werent for the kindness of everyone here. Every kid dreams of being a race car driver and in a way, I was one for a day...Cool feeling! Now all I need to complete the look is a 333sp (maybe Constantino can help me with that hehe) and a lot more experience! Well, lunch break over...back to school. | ||

Thanks to FX Performance and Constantino for hosting this awesome day at Willow Springs! Riding with Constantino in the 350Z and all the other experienced drivers in their own cars was a blast. It was my first track day and I was able to learn a lot of valuable things...Hopefully Ill be at the next event with my own car to practice some of the skills I learned! Great day...We had a few small mishaps but everyone stayed safe! Riding in the 350Z with Constantino was possibly the most inside ride I have ever had! I had no clue a car could be pushed like that...Just something everyone here should experience Special thanks to Sunny for letting me drive his Jag on the track...Not many people I know would do that Also, to Robert for letting me drive his rented Z4 around for a bit. It was an awesome car! And to everyone else there, it was a pleasure meeting you all. See you next time! BTW, Constantino's shop is amazing...just spotless on the inside. Apart from the 4 360 Challenge cars inside, I managed to spot a very gorgeous red 348 Challenge car with the engine out *cough cough* Enjoy the pictures                                  |
