Congrats!!! To all the the organizers, track officals, and particapants. This was the best track event I have ever attended!!! I have been to quite a few events, at Thunderhill, Infineon and Laguna Seca.
What Fernley lacks in ambiance, was overshadowed by the comraderie and the smooth organization, by SECCS and the track personell. WELL DONE TO ALL!!!!! Jerry C |

Awesome time everyone. That was a blast. I still can't believe how exhausted I was when I got home. Post more pics!
Thanks to all of you who organized the event. I'm stoked for the next one. |

Thanks to everyone who came out!! The event was eleventy-billion times better than I could have expected! We had a much larger turnout that we thought we would, MattR probably knows the actually numbers better than I, but I'd guess there were 37 or 38 participants. And to think that a week before the event we only had 23 people paid.
![]() The "B" group was a blast to run with. Everyone was very well mannered out on the track... I think the only off was one of the instructors who was out screwing around during the last session. ![]() ![]() And although I didn't run with them, the "A" group looked to have done an excellent job as well! By the end of the day, I'd bet the A cars were running at the same speeds as the B cars. I'm really stoked that so many of you are now hooked on the track day crack pipe. ![]() The only big "oops" of the day came when the driver of the RX-8 (one of the schools students, not one of the people that signed up through our club) put the car into the dirt off turn 15. I guess he went into the corner a little hot, then lifted in the middle of the corner. He ended up sliding into the runoff... and eventually ran out of room and put the bumper into the dirt berm out there. The damage was all cosmetic, though, and he was back out on the track in the later sessions... minus the lower airdam. I'm uploading all my (well, Nick's actually) pictures now... they should be available in a bit! Thanks again to everyone that came out! Remember the next track day is just around the corner!

Hey Guys!!! Had a great time out on the track with you all!!!! Jim and Matt...great driving!!! Sorry I didn't run the last session with you guys but the wag was leaking something (still haven't gotten it figured out yet) on the right rear side. Didn't think it was safe for me or anyone else at thoes speeds!
But we had a great time and made it safely back to Sacramento Area around 7'ish. I hope you guys can make the Thunderhill track day that Egan and I are trying to get going. It is on a Monday and I know that is hard for some, but we really hope you guys from Reno Area can make it. So far we have 19 Subaru's and we need 11 more to fill the 30 spots @ $190.00. Thanks again for the great track day Scott and company!

Oh wow, that picture of the car sitting on the dirt berm is something.
Another part of this event I thought was soo cool, was to see so many drivers I haven't seen in a long time, (Theo & Jerry & Jim P!), plus the chance to meet some of the people who are on the boards but I had never met before. And by the way -- Nick, thanks for the 1st round on Saturday after tech! |

That was one of the best track events I've ever been to. We better keep these things on the down-low so that the numbers don't increase too much
![]() PS. The car drives fine with 4 out of 5 wheel studs... |

As I was heading into turn 15 I glanced in my rear view mirror and saw him driving back onto the track halfway between where he went off and turn 15, so I guess his car was ok. |
