Thumbs up 3 GT3RS at Laguna Seca

Hi everyone.

Finally got to meet Pete and what a great guy and driver! I had the opportunity to do a couple laps with him and Paul Colton who also has an RS. They both are great drivers and I did my best to keep up (Fail) So yes, time for me to get some more track time.

Here are some pics from the 2 day event hosted by H.O.D. Video of all 3 RS's coming soon

Good to finally meet you Fred and to see Paul again in his new RS. A great time was had by all for sure!

Talk about ****? Me and Fred accelerating down the main straight shifting in synchronicity, both car howling at redline. That got my blood pumping. Vid below.

CarreraGT was there spotting for a racer friend otherwise we would have had his White RS in the .2 mix.

Here is a vid of Fred and Paul and I funning around. A bit of a drag as we had ultra slow laps due to traffic. There were some very novice drivers (some had never been on a track before) in this group and it was important to drive appropriately and not scare anybody.

Fred was looking good on track and his car looks fantastic in person. When I first drove into the paddock, I thought is was a new Cup car! "Got Wing?" All the graphics and wrap were done first rate and is perfectly coordinated.

The plan was for me and Fred to depart the pit last and have some room to play together, but Paul found himself in the mix and given that I wasn't watching the rearview constantly I did not realize until seeing the video he passed Fred (5:31) and was directly behind me when I thought it was Fred all along..lol! Sorry Fred, or I would have pointed Paul by and got some vid of you...lol. Paul, no harm no foul, you didn't know about our plan...haha!

It turned out to be a cool vid with three .2 RS's in it.

Fred, looking good! Keep attending track events, get coaching, and speed and skill will come along. Everybody has to pay their dues to drive an exquisite line, flatout (gratuitous Trackday Video reference)

Oh Fred's BMC group included two track special Bentleys with massive carbon brakes and race style seats with shoulder belt pass throughs! It was crazy! And a passel of Lambos and Astons. I don't think I will ever again see so much $$ on track in one place again. Very unique experience and glad I was there.

Fabryce- still trying to talk myself into another drive to Monterey... Got your flyer in the mail today.

Here is RL's very own track gladiator Mooticus in full battle gear inside his silver bullet. Our man placed on the podium with two (?) third place finishes. My hero and a gentleman as well.
