You're actually comfortable driving with the seat back reclined as much as it is? Just seems it would make your back muscles tired over time keeping yourself held up by yourself and not the seat.

Regardless, it would be a blast to get out on LS. Are you using a GoCam by chance, only ask because all the links to the right have GoPro in the title.

as long as the bolsters are touching my sides, i am good on the seat. i put the back up a few notches for the track, but i guess i just drive like a gangsta. yea its a gopro HD.

that looked fun, i love that track (not that i've ever driven it though).

i laughed when you reached around to hook your arm on the passenger seat while backing up. i had a friend in my car once on a road trip, and he had the seat down but was sitting up in it. anyways, when i turned around to back the car up, i smacked him in the back of the head

It's refreshing to see someone out on a track day driving casually like you are on the way to the grocery store. So many people get so damn serious about track days.

Me thinks the audio system needs more volume!

And don't forget the milk and the whole wheat bread!

it was only like 160 + transponder rental. not too pricey and you get a lot of seat time too. there is another trackday in february at LS that ill probably be going to. my other two buddies with fits want to have a fit battle.
