Default Speedventures @ Fontana!

Went to the Speedventures event at <a href="http://www.typ85.com/fontucky.htm">Fontucky (click for pics)</a>, aka Fontana!
These guys were bigtime serious!!
Man, I need some track tires, and a limited slip, and some coilovers, and a full racing bucket seat, and a 2.6L........

By the way, that was Memo Gidley leaning over the engine bay of a Subaru he was testing, very cool guy, I was lucky to park right next to them!!

The A4 in the pics was owned by "point-by", nice guy, one day I hope to drive at the level he's at!!!

Default Nice pics!

There's something wrong with putting racer tape on a dedicated track car (Elises).

Default Nice photos. That red STI looks familiar. And do I spy Doug Hayashi's NSX?

Looks like it was a quality turnout, but judging by the scarcity of the garage and pit area, I'd say you guys had plenty of track time!

That STI was out at Buttonwillow the weekend before last with Gary Sheehan, Navid Kahangi and some other guy I don't know...

Default Yep, That's Doug's NSX.

There was another very well prepped NSX there as well. Supercharged with huge brakes. Doug trailered in two cars. His NSX and an S2000. Drove the S2000 mainly.
He's got the go-fast crack habit - bad.
