Thanks everyone for your concern, and call from Blue. I made it home safe around 8:45pm, took a hot shower, cleaned up a bit (my clothes so dusty), went to bed...
Wow what a great exhausting track day event, I definitely see myself improve running on the buttonwillow better than the last Oct event. I continue to appreciate the stock S2K can do on track. Especially 3rd & 4th run, I was pushing a bit more than the morning sessions. I was using the line learning from Anish & Blue in the morning. It helped me a lot more understanding more each turn of the track.
At the end of the day 5th session, I felt myself reaching the limit of the day, my body was tired, my brain just couldn't concentrate enough, but I was still pushing the car like the previous run. At the end, it was off the track on the dirt with 360, the dirt cloud covering the entire car. At the end, I also got exhaust leak between the test pipe & mid. pipe, thx for Mac pointed out in the gas station, otherwise, it could be worse. 2 bolts were missing, the gasket was hanging with the 3rd bolt. I couldn't find any store around there to replace those bolts, just tightened it up & drove home.
With that, I add another page on my learning experience, continuous improvement from my mistake. Total session 5 + 3 (w/ Anish, Blue, & the 14-yr racer / instructor on the M3).
What a great day to spend with the S2Ki buddies again...
