The event was awesome, my best time was 2min03.5sec. I can still smell exaust fumes. My rear tires, feel so sticky, like I just did a burnout. The 20's held up awesome, especially in the rear, I was able to turn the ESP off to let myself pull and laydown rubber during turns. I think I used like 13 gallons of gas in like 1hr20min of tracktime; like 8.4mpg, but well worth it. Met a lot of cool people and raced with some pretty hot cars. In my rungroup a pretty rookie guy in a Audi R8 lapped me, so like 2:00 faster over 10 laps / ~22min. Also the Lancer Evos were surprisingly fast, also a good share of M3s Vipers and mostly imports, GT3 and a 911 Turbo, WOW!
Overall a sick day. If anyone in Northern Cali would be interested, there's at least 1 trackday a month. Would be cool to have another Benz there!

NCRC and Trackmasters go to Laguna. I'm a member of and they don't have any events listed this year I've done several NASA events, and they are great. Very safe and professional, plus they give you 1 on 1 instruction the entire time until your comfortable with going on on your own which the other groups do not.
