Great video. Can't wait to get my car out there one day. What is the noise that I hear at the bottom of the corkscrew? Sounds like the front splitter is scrapping the ground.
That it was, just touching down under compression.

I think it might have been Speed Ventures.
Hooked on Driving. Great group, great organization.

Great video Treynor. I'm heading out there on 6/6 with my '66 and the NCRC. My GT350 is a Tech Pack and my '66 is a track car, so I'm taking the one built to handle the heat.

Question: Instead of lifting, did you try closing off the exhaust on 5?

The exhuast flaps will open on their own if you are at WOT.

Ben,

Nice video and thanks for sharing. I thought Christine drove the R and you drove the 350? Either way, great driving and thanks for the tips!

Anyway, take care.

Christine drove the 458 Challenge that weekend; she makes a guest appearance at 1:04. I drove both the R and the Boss 302S. It was great fun.

How much does it usually cost to go run some laps there? Great video!

Depends on the group. NCRC is relatively inexpensive, Hooked On Driving costs more, but also provides more extras. I really like both groups. I've also run with Speed Ventures, but that was quite a while ago so I am not as familiar with how they run things now.

NCRC = $200
HOD = $360

That's for a single day, usually consisting of five 20-minute sessions.

Ben it would be awesome to see you do a track day of back to back runs of both your GT350R against the GT350. So we can see real world time differences.

Bad ass! I really want to take my car out there. So do I just show up on a day when one of those clubs are on calender or do I prefer register?

Noise ordinances on a racetrack like Leguna Seca are a travesty.

@treynor - I just wanted to personally thank you for not putting any music at all to this video.

Looked like it was a blast!

(Loved the pull on the 996tt too)

I don't think Borla sport is loud enough to get a noise complaint. I'm going to register. I can't wait to go. How long does event last if pay the fee?
