I won't be there but you should make a point of having Harold pass you out of a corner with the GIAC. I did and it made me laugh so hard I had to slow down a bit.

Of course it's only funny if you have a stock motor because he goes away so quickly...like Z06 quick.

Have fun guys

I'm here now waiting for the track day. Time isn't going by fast enough.
Who knows, maybe it's because I'm staying in the luxurious "blue lagoon inn."
I have two tone pink walls!

It was great times you guys!
My engine is misfiring like crazy though.
When I ran out of fuel, I thought I was fine but I was stuttering like crazy back to the motel.
Let's hope I can make it home.

Around 20k miles ago but I really don't think it was that.
I was almost completely out of gas so I'm sure I starved the fuel pump and/or injector.

HPFP or injectors are possible as well.

I did hear multiple extended cranks when you were getting ready to leave the pits.

Yep. I dropped the car off at the dealer yesterday.
I got a call yesterday at 4pm and they said that they changed the fuel pump and the same is happening, so the injectors are next.
We'll see...

On another note, it was an awesome time!
Once I got around the slower cars, I had a chance to really try to get a good lap.
My best time was 1:54.1 on street tires.
I'll see you guys next time.

That sucks you didn't make it to Sacto speedway Craig. Hope you get the problem squared away.

Friday was awesome. Craig, Winston, Harold - way to represent the 335, Craig and Harold were burning up the track with the Giac flash. I caught an awesome view of Craig just pulling away from the pack after turn 11, screaming!

BTW, those cars seemed to be running good and fast. Love the VK oil cooler - could not get the temp over 260 at all, and that's with an auto.

NCRC runs good events.

AND - remember that parade lap spin I was telling you about?

Gotbluemilk got the whole thing on film That's me right behind drift king

Well not awesome for you but cool that they got that on film.

I looked at my pics but didn't see any that were that good.

The good news is you can print a pic that looks like you're a superstar. Just tell anyone else you spun and they'll think you have mad drift skills.

Sounds like fun day. Wish I could have been there. I need more time at Laguna.

At Infineon on Monday but it looks like it'll be wet and windy...argghhhh.

If you were to look at the first half dozen photos, it looks like he was actually doing a good drifting through the turn...

It was great meeting you guys this past weekend; what a pleasant surprise!!

Man, I'm seriously thinking of trying out the GIAC Stg 2 flash now Misfiring not as bad this time (as when I met jbass at Infineon), but I still wish I can have a limp free track day Already had injectors and fuel pump changed.
