On positive note got to visit with mooty, spyerx, and Martin.

Also, CJ took me for a ride in 675LT. What an amazing car and CJ is quite the driver!!!

To top that Pat Long was also at the track!!!

CJ is my new Porsche/Mclaren/Audi dealer!!! Heading to Fresno Monday.
Nice meeting you Rich, let me know if you need any CPA tax help.

Haha, nice laps. Best I managed today was a 2:01 on RE-71Rs. I'm happy with it though, only my second time at Buttonwillow.

Guys it was great to spend some time without any incidents and a lot of fun. Really happy that so many people got to check out that new Panamera and go for hot laps in the 718 Cayman S with Christina.

Only downside was missing dinner to head back home to Fresno and since we had so much track time I think my store will have to buy some new tires for that cayman!

We will be renting Laguna Seca later this summer in a similar format and would like to do these things through Porsche Fresno and SpeedDistrict every 6-8 weeks


If I get it approved by Porsche before the next one they might send us a few more assets.

Well that was a bit surreal. CJ Wilson wheeling a couple of Macs, Patrick Long in anything he chose to drive, and Christina Nielson absolutely flying in a brand new 718 Cayman. Not to mention a gaggle of Clubsports.

Huge thank you to CJ, Chris and Josh for a great event, perfect weather and a great group of enthusiasts.

Now... where is my trophy?!?!?!!!

CJ, great event and thanks for supporting it....next time I need to catch a ride in your Mac. I say screw those sound ***** over at Laguna Seca. How about Thursday, June 1st at Thunderhill? There's a Mooty day on Friday, June 2nd and then Hooked on Driving Saturday and Sunday.

Fantastic idea to do a track day like this every 6-8 weeks. Makes sense to do the next one at laguna close to the SF crowd.
I can't make that but I hope you do another one at Buttonwillow for the following track day toward the end of summer.

Just wanted to say thank you to all that helped organize this great event. It was a great chance to try out my GT350, seems to be pretty good out of the box but needs more aggressive set-up and R7's. Good to see my friends in all the new Club Sports.
