Still hard from ride in the GST "L" yesterday
I just wanted to thank Mike and the GST gang for showing up at Thunderhill and giving rides in the legandary "L". Of course it was nice to have the factory driver Brian Lock at the controls. I had no idea what it felt like to be in a "real race car" until yesterday. You might think you have an idea, but you don't until you experience it first hand. I would love to give Brian some driving tips but he and I already discussed that. By the way no tips were given, only taken from Mr. Lock. We lucked out with the rain as it stopped overnight and the track was dry but cold all day long. Thanks again for the ride along guys. Brian S.

What a day! It was really fun to see peoples reactions to a couple of laps in the L. It ranged from screaming like a little girl/uncontrolable arm flailing, to tearing up as we rolled down pit lane because the L is just that awesome 
.
Sometimes with all the pressure at the events that we do, all the time spent taking data and working really hard trying to make sure that we make our fellow Suby owners proud, I forget just how fun this car is to drive. To get a chance to finally share what it feels like to be in the L was great, and I look forward to scary many more GST "L" fans in future events!

No my brother Chris Lock has driven the COBB STi in the past. He drove it to a win at Subyfest 2007 and at GTLive at Miller Motorsports Park this year. He was out on track with me Friday giving rides in our Koni Challenge spec Legacy GT.

I think I watched him drive the Cobb STi at Miller Motorsports on Redline TV one time, pretty cool
Do you guys have a rivalry going with your driving and whatnot?

Paperwork? What paperwork? We don't need not stinking paperwork! All that was required was signing in at the front gate and getting a wrist band. Just for the record I was not the one screaming like a little girl. I forgot to look and see what kind of shifter you guys had in the car. Was it a sequential or a regular old six speed? I was to busy watching the closure rate and some of the fancy footwork, especially going into turn 14. What kind of top speeds were we hitting going into turn one, if you can give out any of your top secret data.

Hey Brian, glad you enjoyed the ride. We certainly had a blast hanging out with everyone and giving out the rides.
Are you doing the January 11th event? We plan to head out there again and do the same thing offering rides in both cars and possibly the MPME Scion tC as well.

Edit: What do you have to do to get a ride?
