I was there on Sunday for the full track. Fortunately, the only incident (besides the usual off-track excursions) was a blown motor on a 240SX. That group of guys with the 360s were back...

with 3 of them






NSX with Krazik half-bumper (and nice wheels too)




There was about 15 of these on Sunday

Now, what, pray tell, is a "paddle shifter"?
Paddle shifters are shift "levers" located on the steering wheel. Rare, except in high end cars (like Ferraris and Aston Martins). You shift using your fingers on either hand.

You can see them here in a pic from the cockpit of the Vanquish:



Verrry sweet.

Woh... definetly sweet.

Do those require the engagement of the clutch like a standard manual transmission, or can you simply click them to shift gears, like an SMG car?

Regardless, that's awsome.

I really gotta head out to one of these events, seems like I've been missing out on a lot of fun!

That's only if I don't crash my car.

"NSX with Krazik half-bumper (and nice wheels too)"

That's my friend's NSX. He was the smart one! He took the front lip and the rear bumper off just for the track. The candycanes around the "S's" are a bit tall, as I found out after the first session. My front lip is at the shop getting painted.

So my advice is take the front lip off!

Hey S2Thizzle, I was there on Sunday also! It sucks that you were the only S2000 there. I was passenger in my friend's black 350Z running in Beginner. It was the same 350Z that rode in behind you on the entrance to Buttonwillow.
