Guys and Gals,

Let's see the BEST day you've ever had at the track. I'll start with me and GT Mikey at Spring Mtn. Not sure if it's one day before, or the day I totaled 2012 #733, but it was the best. There's so much fun to be had on that track! And I haven't even been there since they extended it.

Crap that was fun!!! I think you smoked #733 the next day. That was the first day on the Track after buying 2012 LS #204 from Kendall at Cooltech. I had the street wheels and tires on, you can hear them screaming!!!! BTW the extension is awesome, has a banked bowl you can just haul ass through, some technical turns too...

Here's my first day on the track ever and the first day in my Ford GT on that same track in 2012. McGuirk had a tough time letting me by since it was my first track day ever:):) I passed another GT 350 first then caught Mike....

My first, and only, Spec Miata win! In an earlier race that day I had a great battle with my friend in the grey/red striped car until I made a mistake in the last corner of the race and put it in the kitty litter. I was so pissed for having let him work me over, and then I had to clean all that gravel out of the car. Was ready to pack it in (last race didn't count for contingencies), but decided to stay and run. This was my best career race win simply cause it was SM, and a close second best day to my National Championship in TT (no video of that).

Exactly and here's a good example.

My best track day ever was June 2013 when I got to drive a McLaren 12C for a session at Laguna Seca. I was high for weeks after that. That day will be tough to beat but if anyone wants to let me drive their P1 on track that would probably do it. ;D

The first day I ever drove on a track - at LimeRock - with NEQ Club. I was hooked after the first lap...

I second this. Well said Pete.

Second favorite was my introduction to slicks, also at Limerock, just 2 weeks ago. It was incredible. So addictive that I sort of have 3 sets of slicks in my basement now waiting for next season.

My first 13 second pass in my 1987 GT at Maple Grove Raceway during the 1988 Ford Motorsport Nationals. Actually got me in the Fast 64 Bracket. Went out in the first round with a 13.87 breakout on a 13.95 dial in. A year late you needed a 12 flat to qualify.

Wise words...and always glad to have that feeling at the end of the day. Even if it means skipping the last session.
