Laguna Seca...
Does the school do the taping for you? Wish they'd had that when I went.

For that, you get a lot of professional quality photos and a session of lapping. For another $60, they'll do another lapping session. Not cheap, but I'm glad I went for it. > Good times, eh?

Congrats! I got to take my Miata out on Laguna Seca for the 20th anniversary of the Miata event which was huge fun but, these cars would be a whole other thing! I'm confused on the pricing. Can you explain a bit more specifically? $200 extra just for the photography? Thanks for posting the link! Chris 99BBB |

Well, it's a great video especially with all of the added info (speed and g forces and such). Very cool stuff! cd |

I actually wish I'd gone for one more session as I wasn't particularly fast in that one. Oh, well.

At that point you were finding the limits a bit here and there and working on 'the line'. Fun to watch. Hey, tell me about the transmission. It sounds like a shift-able automatic or something. Sequential (click forward, click back)? Thanks, cd 99BBB |

At that point you were finding the > limits a bit here and there and working on 'the line'. Fun to watch. Thanks. Shortly there will be a second video. I forgot completely to check the video I took with my GoPro Hero2... ...because I erroneously assumed that because it was facing the sky when I got out of the car, it must have been the force of the air blowing over it that caused it. Turns out that I did myself when I was getting out of the car. So I've got HD video that I'm prepping for YouTube right now. > > Hey, tell me about the transmission.
