Laguna Seca Pics

[Natey]

There's no doubt in my mind that this was the most fun I've ever had in my Protege5...or any other car for that matter!!

Above: Thanks to Keith at Flyin' Miata for showing me just what my P5 is capable of. He came thisclose to reeling in an FD(EDIT: That's not Keith. That's me with Andrew riding shotgun. ). You can see Roy(RoywhiteP5) behind us.

Below: Holding off an RX-8. Note Perma-grin.

Below: Lovin' my Mazda!

Below: Andrew(melicha8) and me battling it out down the Corkscrew.

I can't thank the organizers and instructors enough. There's way too many to name, so I won't even begin, but lemme say that you guys helped to provide one of the most fun and educational days I've had in a long time.
I will DEFINATELY be taking my P5 on the track again soon!

Nice pics! The top p5 looks like its on speed. must be those projectors.

You guys are so damn lucky!!!!!!! Why couldnt I be there, why do I have to be stuck in the middle of the desert . I hope they do this again next year!!!!

 

[Natey]

Here's Keith. Check out how he's almost got the left-front wheel lifting. I rode with more than one instructor and Keith was the man, as far as I'm concerned. The way he had the Corkscrew set of turns down, (shocked) it was inspiring, fun and scary all at the same time!!

Awesome pics!!! That shot of the corkscrew is amazing. Looks like it was a blast, is it going on again next year maybe?

BTW, what kind of times were the mazdas running?

 

[BlueMP5Dave]

Nate did you do the projector mod to your headlights or are they just painted? Nice pics by the way, did you see Rishie and Roy? I wish I lived there, lucky.

Edit: Never mind about Roy I finally read your captions

omg i cant even explain how fun and amazing this was today. this is the hardest i've ever driven my p5 and it handeled amazingly. i just wish i had more power because i was getting owned on the straights and uphills even zoomzoomh was owning us all in a stock mazda 6 rental car

 

[Pretzellogic]

You can all kiss my ass.

I second that.

*looks outside at his car, which is NOT on a track of ANY KIND!*

by the end of the day, all of our tires were melted

I am so jelous!!!! laguna seca is my favorite track. And unfortunately i will never have my mazda on it.. Although i am trying to save my nickles and dimes to go to the driving school there.. GREAT PICS..

 

[SpicyMSP]

Glad you guys had a good time. Hank (zoomzoomh) called me several times durring the event to let me know what a good time everyone was having

 

[Roywhitep5]

totally worth the money!! why didnt you go steph? hank & mark were bummed

 

[SpicyMSP]

I had unexpected surgery costs to pay for. I was, and am really bummed. I will bug Berny for another opportunity for us Proteges again. It was really nice of him to let me know about this event in advance to share with everyone here.
I also heard Hank got a good video!? Does it show him spinning out?

 

[Roywhitep5]

lol all i saw was a big cloud of dust and hanks car off to the side. and there was an instructor in the car

Freakin' awsome pics, Natey. I'd love to drive LS. Road Atlanta is fun, but damn, if I could toss a car around the cork screw at LS, I might just have another favorite.

Thanks for posting the pics. Those are certainly keepers.

God I love this picture:

 

[tttP5]

damn i wish i could have gone! by the time i found it about it all the spots were arelady sold out! you guys are lucky

 

[jrodhotrod]

Sweet pics guys. I'll live vicariously through you. So bummed that I had to cancel my spot, I hope this event comes up again because I am kicking myself for missing it.

 

[Natey]

I know somebody else has got more pics. Post 'em up! (rockon)

BTW, Dave, My headlights aren't projectors, that's melicha's car. I just have black CAD housings.
