I would like to know as well. If I can do a two day instead of one, I am there!

Did you have the orange one? Nice car. LOVE the color.

I think the M6 guy was a "B" guy at Cali Speedway earlier this year. That incident slowed the day down a bit since they had to clean off the track. I hope the last B group still had some light at the end of their session. I know we were having a hard time seeing the turn-in to 9... then someone took out the cone. That's a BIG deal the first time around for us C guys.


Also, was the hottie in the gift shop there? The one's I saw were cute, but not "hot."

The car that went off in A group between 4 and 5 resurfacing that entire section of track with large gravel was a white E36 M3. The car that went off in 8 was a black (or dark blue) E46 M3. I don't recall the M6 in A group going off.

The white M3 went off right in front of me, and it was turn 8. In one of my videos you can watch him driving around the outside of 8 and 9 with a large plume of dust behind him. In either event, personally, WSIR is one place I never want to take an agricultural adventure.

The Caliphotography one's were pretty disappointing except for a couple panning shots.
