The Elise was so fast, sumasabay sya sa Ferrari nung first session na nakasakay ako. Nakakabilib yung kotseng yon, 1.8L engine, 190 hp according to the owner I talked to, massive downforce especially on turns, unbelievable handling it could maintain it's speed up and going throughout the track with only that much power... Merong sumakay dun sa isang red na car - yung mukhang laruan, tapos nasuka sa loob ng sasakyan, heheh... hindi kinaya ng stamina...

Mukhang Escudo yon diba? Yung mukhang laruan? Suzuki I think.

wow! that's quite an experience. makes me want to do it too if i ever get the time and the funds (i also need a decent car to do it in, i guess).

you Cali guys get all the cool raceways....dito puro Nascar lang and the Richard Petty track in Orlando

the red "toy" car is a Radical SR3, i believe.

I didn't know what that little red race car was... but it's not the Suzuki Escudo.

yeah, well not many race tracks are close to me. Thunderhill Raceway in Willows is 2 hrs away, Infenion Raceway in Sonoma is about 1 hour and a half, Steets of WIllows is 4.5 hours away

, while Laguna Seca in Monterey is only an hour away

. But I don't think I'll be back on the track until after a few months, gotta save up for other things heheh...

btw I decided to tape the whole front end because I just got it repainted a month ago
