BTW, I get to drive Fontana Raceway Roval next Wed. Pretty stoked about it. Never been on an oval with an FX

Those banked turns should be really fun! Gonna make vids I assume?

I will try to gopro something. Will be fun to keep up on the road course sections. Though I’m tepid about the straights . I will surely see a buck 25 or so, but I’m will also be running with some fast stangs, Vette’s, 911s, etc. They’re good for 140s. I’m just hoping to get a good run into the oval so I don’t get passed so easily.

Oh also, there's a Porsche enthusiast weekend out there this Fri/Sat/Sun

I know you did some parade laps there. Anything at speed?

Let's see... parade laps in the FX was on the oval.
I did a Porsche day on the road coarse (911/991 and 911/991 4S, and Cayman and 4S). That was "as fast as you can go". Got up to ~125mph in the infield.
Did a Richard Petty Nascar experience. Sat passenger on the big oval and they said it was 150mph.
That's all at Fontana. I've done some other smaller stuff there too. When I got my DSLR camera, I'd go to Fast Toys and Fast Bike days just to watch,hang, and play.
Need extra pictures taken?

So you’ve been a lot. Cool. Fast toys will be there too. They are one of the cosponsors of the charity track day this week. They’re bringing some fast cars for us to drive.
