this was my first track day and it was a blast! it was fun just watching and hearing all the cars come down the front and back straights. EQ Tuning definitely did a great job hosting this track day. hopefully next time there will be a full grid so they won't have to take such a big hit like this time.

can't wait to see those pics Steven took!

Yeah so I took 1200 pictures... definitely not posting ALL of them. I'm going to try and get a good number of each of you posted (The best or most important ones) first. Then possibly the others later

Give me a couple hours lol

Crazy day. It was awesome, thank you EQ for putting this together. Cool people, nice cars and plenty of track time.

RIP to 3 Suby engines and one turbo. I got rides in 2 Minis, 2 STis and a turbo Miata -- great experience, thanks for the rides. My car was overheating pretty badly the whole time, but it was still a blast and I made it home. Can't wait for the next one.

wow, that many tech-failures huh? I'll have to re-think taking my bugeye to Thill. What was the weather like and what kind of times were you guys pulling?

I'm sure some of the fast cars were doing 2:10 and below?

Man this day was allot of fun. I was contemplating even going beccause my car wasn't ready but I'm sure glad I did! Matt (04caliwrx) and I rode for 3 sessions and even threw on my direzza star specs to try them out on a real road course. Hella sorry he spun a bearing at the end of the day. And Cameron's blue wrx was super fast and his cooling system was keeping up just fine for some reason. Also I forgot his name but the guy with the ej207 powered wrx was wicked sounding and hella fast.

I'm glad I went because I deffinetly see the necessity for cooling upgrades. Oil cooler and rad are next on the list for me. This day was VERY hot though. I was sweating my *** off just changing rims.
