Guys,

I have posted some pics in the Lexus Racing/Team ClubLexus gallery taken by a professional of me tracking at Laguna Seca and Thunderhill. Pls go to Team ClubLexus forum and help me decide which Thunderhill pic I should order a 8x10.

Thanks.

Q,

My pick would be QsGS@Th06.. Shows the suspension under load and the background and black asphalt really blend nicely with your silver GS.. So thats my pick!

Thumbs up speed

I like Th16 since it really shows a sense of speed.
Although Th06 would be my second choice for the same reasons 2SAVVY pointed out.

Man! Looks like alot of fun!

Calvin,

I like this QsGS@LS4.JPG picture. See if the next time you go back. Take a picture of your car coming out of a turn. Just make sure that you let your rear wheels side.

Like Globe, I really like Th17 the best. Calvin, you look like you're running pole position!

Guys,

I added one more pic in the gallery. Pretty cool if I don't say so myself.

Calvin,

Pick the best picture by the lighting. Headon photos does all the events in Nor Cal and often there is too much shadow or the sun reflecting. I have lots of my M5 at NASA events and I am also in the yellow group at the recent Ferrari event at Laguna. I have a few I might buy from Norm. I just haven't decided.

Just know that if you go to a few more there will be more pics to choose from.

I may get this one from Turn 12a at Thunderhill.

How did those big brakes work? Check out www.nasaproracing.com and mark the Sears Point events this fall on your calender.

I think TH16 is the best quality shot. Too bad there wasn't a good one in the corkscrew or turn 5 at Thunderhill.

KKelly,

Are you talking about the Nov 11th event with NASA at Sears?

The big brakes work great! Hot into the corners and stop on a dime (well almost). I say never track without good brakes. I see too many people burning up their stock brakes.
