Was this your first time at Pacific or first time on a road course?

What were the passing zones and passing rules?

And they let you out without at least verifying how you drive first? I'd think twice about any track day that allows this. You might be a great driver but there are many out there who aren't and need that initial instruction/checking up on bad habits before letting them loose on a track like PR

There wasn't any fools on the track usually people are pretty cautious due to not wanting to wreck. You don't go on all at once everyone is gapped and can only pass on the straight if someone is slow.
It Was a safe experience. Definatly will go again

OOOhhh might have to see if I can make the Dec 3rd track day... that would be fun! I should have a new FMIC and English tune by then.

Drag raced a few times and used to run dirt circle track but have never had the pleasure of doing a track day... hell, even going, watching and meeting a few of you all would be fun enough to make it worthwhile!

Sorry Tim, the weather was good Well, up until the last 2 hours, plus it was COLD all day, maybe mid 30's!
Here's one of my vids with Doug (4wd4me) and I. This was the first time I've have my Evo on this track, was a blast but was fighting an over boost CEL and fuel cut even on a stock map, so I'm thinking its a mechanical problem. As long as I stayed off WOT in 4th and 5th the boost would stay at 20psi (was pegging a 25 psi gauge). Definitely goin back!

^^ probably not mechanical. The stock maps were setup with the stock car in mind. Once you mod the car enough you have to change those tables. Most folks don't run into the issue since they get tuned. The over-boosting can be solved with proper boost control in the ECU but not sure how that could affect your STU classification.
