I was there last weekend. It was a good time. LC surprised me some. Worth the money and would consider doing it again. Price is fair and people are great.

Not sure how this forum works. I sucked on the skid pad. 1.5 circles. Lol. Weak. But hard for me. Never done that before. Autocross best time was high 29 but hit one cone at the end. 30.009 in warm-ups. Track was my fav. 137 on the back straight away but backed off way before the blue cones as who knows if the guy in front would brake early or not. LC500 was impressive. I went to learn more on the skid pad as my IS300 I am building has 1000hp. Trying to learn more.
I was green. What group were you in?

I hit 29.1(something) on the autocross (my best time), but it got disqualified because my front wheels went past the cones. The dude told me not to brake until I was in the box. I knew that wasn’t right, but I did it anyway. That’s what I get for not following my own mind, I know how to wheel this damn car! 😒😒

The LC is a freaking beast!! We hit 139 on the extra lap, our instructor was a bad ***. He told us to keep up and damn if we didn’t. 🤣

Don’t feel bad about the skid pad, there’s no way on God’s Green Earth you could’ve done worst than me. My silly-self just spun like a top. The whole thing was counterintuitive to me. 🤦🏽‍♂️

I need to see if I can take some time off and do this! I got some friends in both Atlanta and Lawrenceville that I try to visit once or twice a year. Hopefully I can line up the trip to go to one of these events.

EDIT:

Forgot to mention... I am rather surprised they don't provide discount to loyal Tooyta/Lexus customers (people who have owned multiple Toyota/Lexus cars in the past/present) or active brand enthusiasts on these forums.
