Never driven with these guys before, but I've heard good things. $125 for 2.5 hours of track time is hard to beat. You "have to" miss work though (weekday events). I usually work at home Wednesdays anyway, so this time my...phone, yeah that's it...terrible phone problems. I was there working all day, honest. Oh, you tried to call? Hmmm.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Anyways, I got the fuel tank venting and seat moving issues fixed, and a few other trivialities from the last event. Haven't gotten my new "Design by Ya-Roon" numbers made up yet, but not really necessary for this event. Next time. This is really just a test/tuning day for fun, but I'm anxious to see how the car does on the faster track. At Streets of Willow I only see a few seconds of 4th gear in this car and nowhere near top speed, probably 90-ish. Wednesday we will see top speed or very close to it, in the turn 7-8 section and the end of the front straight. Should be interesting. I most likely will be by-far the lowest powered, and maybe oldest, car out there with this group. Race prepped 996's, Vipers, Vettes, NSX's etc will probably be there. |

The 360GT cars are made by Ferrari for ALMS or FIA racing, you don't see them much in ALMS because they are not quite fast enough. One of them however won the Grand-am championship, beating the Racer's Group this year. The 550 Marenello's are the ones made be Prodrive and are wickedly fast and are in no-way a Ferrari except for the engine and main tub.
Chris, that group is OK, I wouldn't be supprised if you come back and tell us kill stories about what $100K+ cars you wre faster than. At most of these events it's 80% driver and 20% car. I can reguarly kill 996tt and 360's with my MOM"S stock Boxster S. It is frustrating down the straights however if you have an asshole driver. In those cercumstances I tiell them they are number one!
