That's okay. I'm also of the not-many-pics club when I go do cool stuff, or go on vacations. It's all in my head and that's what matters. However, I'm definitely interested in what you gleaned from your experience, and that of the other drivers when it comes to Fit tuning. Did the brakes hold up this time? That's probably a silly question.

I like the timing system. You look waayyy more consistent than the GD3 ahead of you... take that as a compliment, as that was the intent

If looking at session 5, my left front tire was done for. I kept pushing as hard as I could even though I was hearing waap waap waap waap waap upon turns. Finally said time is not improving, car is not gripping so much and came into the pits. Front left tire was thrashed. I noticed in session 4 that something had changed in the grip.

I LOL'd at the LAPD Fit.

Great pics, one make/model track days are always super-fun to me as you can compare and relate so much better. Don't think you'd ever be able to get enough Fits together on track at the same time here in the U.S. to do it though we're too spread out.

Did people come from all over the place to this or was it mostly locals?

I and 4 others came from about 350km away and others from Osaka region about 125km away and maybe some other areas around Japan. We may have been the furthest away though, not quite sure. In October will be going about 600km to Central Circuit in Hyogo for J's fall session.

I've got some video from the rear facing cam of the LAPD Fit with lights on chasing on track. Just made me laugh, he was on the side of the track and as I was coming down the front he pulled in behind and turned on the lights and followed for a bit until I was pulling away.
