Laguna Seca Track Day Report!

Our friend and fellow 350Z racer Scott Smith did track day with Trackmasters on 3/2/13.  Several ZCG cars were present including Allen B and George K. Enjoy the pics and videos, thanks Scott!

Allen, Jen, and I met George and his buddy promptly at 7:30am.  The GreenZ was loaded up, and the X5 made it’s maiden tow voyage with power, pride, and ease.  George was ready for a day of fun in his Nismo 370z with Toyo R888 race tires, as was Allen in his Vortech 350z (on same tires).  George’s friend in the C6 had never driven Seca, so he was excited.  Jen was excited to take her first laps – in a car – around Laguna, as she and Scott had walked the entire track last fall at a PCA event.

It was still chilly for the first session, which Scott and George were in, so Scott and Allen took out Scott’s new, 2010, completely stock X5 Bimmer (video).  Both were impressed at its control, handling, and sheer power.  Full throttle up past the sound check – score!

 

The day warmed up, and all 3 Zs performed flawlessly.  A few other ZCG customers were there as well in their Zs, as well as a plethora of 240Zs from the folks at Unique Towing.  Big dollar Ferraris, 911s, BMWs, a Maserati, Lotus, and even a McLaren were in the mix for the day.

 

 
All-in-all it was a fun and safe day, and track temps were perfect.  Here are some laps in GreenZ! (SpecZ prepped):
