I think we have one similar at Pecos and Sunset.
Nice Pics. Looks like you had a good time.

Yeah, the Rebel station has the 100 octane for like $5 a gallon. Great for F/I cars. SWEET pics Blaine! Looks like it was a great time!

Mark's car has a sweet cologne: we call in Top Fuel. mmm 100 Octane

Thas right Stan....I swear to god if I could make that top fuel smell into a cologne I would, lol.

The funny thing about the gas pumps at laguna were that they were near the eating area.....where everyone was smoking.....needless to say I didnt stick around too long to eat my bbq sandwhich after seeing that potential disaster, lol.

Funny how some people don't have an ounce of common sense. Not you...them!

Actually, on MythBusters they couldn't get a cigarette to light gasoline on fire. It doesn't burn hot enough.

Really....that is interesting...I must have missed that episode. Even still though, that ironic situation reminded me of the Zoolander movie and the "freak gasoline fight" accident and I just couldn't sit there anymore, lol.

LMAO. Zoolander FTW!

Blaine, didn't you get to drive a lap around the track or something like that? If so, was it fun? If not, how come?

I did get to take a fan lap....While we waited to get on the course I spoke with the guy in front of me (M3) and the guy behind me (z06 Vette). We made a deal that if they tried to make it a slow fan lap that we would hang back and take off once the pace car got far enough ahead. Unfortuantly they stuck a scion tc in front of us at the last minute which messed up our plan. But we still hung back until the CHIPS who were hired to monitor the lap started to yell at us to get moving. So we topped out only like at 90...the corkscrew though...shit man I have a new appreciation for that turn, thats for sure. But even though we didnt get to open it up as much as I would have liked it was still nice to get to drive on that track.

(And I made up for the slow fan lap on Hwy 198 on the way home :unibrow: )

That's cool. Too bad you couldn't have gone faster. But not many people can say they have driven on Laguna Seca that i know of. That's something to remember for sure!

Even though it was slow I would most definitely do it again....it was worth the trip. I video taped the run, but since I couldnt open my Z up the video is rather boring.

is it like playing Grand Turismo?

Actually it is....I also played forza when I got home and they did a great job with that track....GT did a better jb however in that when your approaching the corkscrew on the track in real life the is nothing bu sky above that ridge....you have NO IDEA what is waiting for you on the other side. GT captures that effect better then forza in my opinion.
