Looks like tons of fun. I'm doing the Eibach Pro Kit, blues, and sways on my IS300 this week and plan to have some fun at one of these events soon. My poor old SC4 is a great daily, but has been driven on stock suspension all it's life so I'd kill it if I tried this....LOL.

wow thanks for the response. This was at El Toro airbase. in orange county california. They do it on the runway. lot of fun really fast. I topped out second gear at about 70mph. (which is fast for an autocross course with a lot of turns).

How did i do. I think fairly well.

beat out a 350z, corvette c6, and miata in my class. so 6th out of 9.

indexed results 174 out of 258.

so I guess about middle of the pack. but I am still getting this car dialed in and I am trying to become a better driver.

and the orange balloon. that is some sort of sight seeing attraction. people go up and can see all of orange county.

I am going again this weekend. if anyone is interested registration is friday night.

the car handles very predictable and when a mistake is made a little gas feathering and its all good, no loss of speed and a baby drift. I got done with the day and people were calling me d.k. cuz I was doing a little sliding, controlled on course, and fast. got some of my best times sliding through some parts of the course.
