glad you had fun man! a few of my friends and i plan on doing a track day at buttonwillow right when their semesters end (mid june). any different things you wouldve done after your first track day, and along with that is there anything that you learned that you wish you wouldve known beforehand? i remember doing laguna seca with the F, and there didnt seem to be a whole lot of room for overshooting, and i know a few of my buddies will try to take turns much further out than they want to
