Curious about the manual trans fluid as well.

Here's my pb lap. Prob could've gotten 1:39 if I actually hit a few apexes LOL

CorruptCommie · 07-03-2018, 11:37 AM

Wild wild west out there. I liked the Hyundai dude getting called out on IG and claiming it wasn't him or his car.

okusa · 07-03-2018, 12:03 PM

Sorry, but you guys are doing it all wrong. You really don't need to deal with those asshats. Just supercharge and go!!!

Why are there cars parked on track without the session being stopped? It's not like the yellow flag slowed anyone down. The one right before turn 6 under the bridge is the worst one, just a few feet off the line.

Gotta keep you coming back. Fun place, huh?

Not only was it an amazing track, it was the most beautiful one I've been to. Definitely need to go back, and maybe with slicks

Yep, that's how I got addicted. Stay in Carmel for a few days and enjoy the fine restaurants.

AriuSen · 07-03-2018, 01:20 PM

It was a total disaster. I'm starting to hate speed ventures. Adding these so-called racing drivers, only puts us at risk.

Here are some more footage from Laguna.

This guy drifting in front of me at the worst place possible!

And this was my pb of the day with 1:36.8

Totally agree. Not a big fan of speed ventures with these high car counts, but really wanted to hit Laguna. I've never seen so many accidents at a track before in my life (car to car, not just crashing into a wall)

dparm · 07-03-2018, 01:52 PM

Fuck that. Trust your gut here -- if it feels shady, it's probably REALLY shady. Based on the above, it looks like they're overdue for a massive red flag fuck-up.

And yeah, why are there cars stopped on track with no yellow? (or really, a black flag so they can get a tow vehicle out there)

There are yellow flags (hard to see all the corner workers from certain angles) out for the parked cars in the videos above, but it seems few of the drivers, if any, bothered to slow down. That's when the organizers should have used a red flag.

A few extra minutes of track time isn't worth the risk.

roastbeef · 07-03-2018, 02:15 PM

Last year they had radicals and all these other time trials going on at the same time as a regular track day and it's bullshit. Too much going on at the same time. They need to back off the throttle with that or host multiple days and divide it up.
