Should be some nice cars out there. I checked out the list and saw F430, 360 Challenge, GT3 Cups, Vipers, Vettes, STis, etc. It's going to be packed.

Everyone looked good out there, I didn't see anyone in Suby's doing anything stupid at all, and zero Suby related calls. There were several people in other cars doing stupid things though... FYI - don't burn out in the hot pits, do a u-turn and then speed back against traffic entering the raceway!! Don't haul **** on a double yellow and almost run down the safety crew chief as you swerve to miss the cars that are actually slowing... Don't miss the checkered 3x and remain on the track during an actual race!!! Wow... The things people do... Overall though Saturday was really quiet. We had a car fire and a couple pull tows, but otherwise it was chill enough for the chief to polish the truck during the race groups.
The black LIC GM6 looked awesome as usual. That car is just plain NICE. I was the fool in the safety truck hangin out the windows giving you guys thumbs-up. I also walked over to check out the car as well as the other sweet Subys at your site. Couldn't find Prima racing otherwise I would have said hi.
I said hi to a couple people in WRXs in different places and gave thumbs up and stuff, but just got blank stares as usual. For some reason, even when I have been there with my WRX or RS, I can't ever seem to strike up a conversation with anyone with a Suby. Not sure what the deal is, but its odd.
Anyone catch the fully prepped F-430 out there? It was doing laps almost as fast as that blue and yellow VW Rabbit.

Yea, I heard it was packed there too so good news that calls were low. At the next event, I'll definitely stop by and get registered for safety...It would be great to be out there working to support the event and learning stuff.
Picked up the mazdaspeed 6 on saturday, so I finally have a car that will make it to the track, and likely home. big thumbs up on that!

Yeah, that was a F430 Challenge. It was cool, but the exhaust was so quiet. Those honda were SUPER loud in comparison. The black home made kit-car thing was pretty fast too.
I had a fun day on Saturday as well.
