Been back out there since, c32AMG-DTM?
Watched a Grand-Am event at NJMP. It’s a beautiful and challenging circuit.

Recently squandered a bit of the discretionary budget on yet another track day. Lowly C surprised more than a few through the twisty bits.
“What have you done to it?” The smug pleasure from having done so --against pricier and ostensibly faster machines-- won’t soon be forgotten.

Too few SoCal MB guys seem able to forego ‘canyon runs’ in order to properly exploit the traction circle.
TemjinX2 might be ready to step it up a notch, yes?

Hello there, splinter! Funny you should ask... was just back out for another 'round of HPDE at NJMP a few weekends ago. Private trackday rental, arranged by Fabspeed and Evolution Motorsports. We were on Lightning - there was a race event (Grand Am, IIRC) the same day on their other course, Thunderbolt... might've been the one you viewed? July 17th. Got to watch a bit of it over lunch - man those guys can drive; humbling.

Took the fiance with (we had plans later, and it was kinda sorta on the way) and, while skeptical at first, I think I secured a new convert. Jeremy from Fabspeed took her for some ride-along hot laps in an F430 Scuderia, which didn't hurt her impressions either... quite a thrill, so I heard (and heard, and heard, and heard).

I'll post some pics up soon - have 'em on my other computer.

Fiancé? Good on you. Congratulations!!

Jazzed after a ride-along in an F430 Scuderia? Certainly a lovely lady.
Wishing the two of you all the best.
