Great to see old friends and make new ones! Awesome day. Professionally run event, yummy eats, Mooty and Lar for the win (as usual).

I had the chance to see one of the new Chromebook Pixel laptops there. Freaking incredible, no doubt very talented engineers developed this Definitely what I am buying to replace my aging Vaio.

Great day as always. A class above normal trackdays. Thanks again to Mooty and team for putting on the event.

Here's a couple of laps from earlier in the day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Mi3...ature=youtu.be

Lost my fast laps session due to app crashing but that's how it goes sometimes. I was disappointed how quickly the Cup 2's fell off on the 2nd day of running. By end of the day, all 4 tires had corded.

Could not have asked for more perfect weather. Track was in great shape, the hills were green and the bugs were out in force. I killed as many as I possibly could have!

Great group, thanks to all for attending and keeping the momentum going!!!

PS: and there he was... the man, the myth, the legend - Savyboy, in the flesh in his shiny new BAC Mono.

Welcome to going fast with big HP! I'm lucky if I can see two days out of a set of R6's. When running with PCA I actually need to sit out a few sessions just to make it through the weekend on one set of tires. R6's are cheaper to run than CUPs!

If anyone is left standing on Sunday, I'll be there with Etchehead!

Weather was ideal...track was just perfect, cool comfortable weather yet awesome traction!

Excellent food and company -- Mooty and Lar did a great job organizing and Armando's pastries were f-cking off the charts yummy OMG!!! My car was much slower in the afternoon cuz my belly was so full of the buttery goodness (and every upcoming apex looked like a croissant)!

Two requests for future dates:

1) Mooty/Lar you need to let Chasen have more wheel time!!!

2) No more Ferrari 458 Speciale stationary obstacles on course LOL! From what I could see on this day at least, McLaren is on its way to putting Ferrari out of business!

But seriously, it was so much fun... callout to Slowandsteady - what a great time playing lead and follow with you -- you are hardly slow and not very steady

Thanks for being a good neighbor in the paddock! It was a pleasure meeting you. You should've given me a flyby on the front straight with all that hp

after thursday we had more practice on friday.
then weekend we raced in PCA
lar was P1 overall.
chasen did very well as rookie, i think he's on the podium.
mooty was slow as usual, all the fast cars left him gasping....
