sigh, i was there way late, the re-schedule receptionist didn't pick up the phone so i didn't bother to stay long, course looks a lot more exciting compare to the one setup @ sema last year though.

Overrated. I went on June 1. We got only 2.75 laps of follow the leader and 1.75 laps of hot lap. The cars had the DSC off button and Sport mode buttons taped off. For me, at least let us drive in Sport mode to truly get the best experience
I did the NM special 1/2 day class w/ the ISF and Skip Barber school. Now that was FUN. 20 laps of follow-the-leader at Laguna Seca and a total of about 35 laps behind the wheel (15 with instructor in passenger seat). We got to do all laps without the DSC and in sport mode.

BTW, what did you pay for the Skip Barber class. I may be intrested in doing that one myself. 35 laps around Laguna Seca had to be a great time. I did enjoy Fridays event but would like to have seen more seat time. Maybe if they charge a little more and have fewer people attend it would have made a good event even better.

Summit Point, WV
I went out to WV this weekend ... took part in the event ... got to drive the IS-F, as well as be a passenger during a hot-lap.
Here's a link I uploaded to youtube ... my driver was Chris Mitchum.
Enjoy!

Hopefully the ATL crew is getting ready for the Atlanta Motor Speedway event this weekend. I've got the 1/2 day on Friday and the 2 hour on Saturday (with the wife) and hopefully she'll be keen on getting either the IS-F or the C63 AMG after the event. I just want to buy soon before gas prices drop again and sales pick back up. (Anybody else notice the market corrections going on in oil prices?)

Damn, I missed it, i usually get an invite in the mail but didn't this time around. Are those rotors really glowing or is that an optical illusion of some kind?
