Winter Surprise Open Track event at Laguna

Cary, Dad and I went with the NorCal Shelby Club to their "Winter Surprise" open track event. We talked to a bunch of really nice people and all got treated to amazingly fun rides around the track. We all know that track so well from watching events and playing it on our computers, but actually being on it "at speed" was something else entirely. Really and incredible experience. My first ride was in a beautiful 66 GT350 Mustang. I stressed out the driver at first because I had no idea how to get my seatbelt on (small but important bits of information that you realize later were important to learn). but he was patient with me, and when I was all set, the engine exploded to life and we launched into my first ever track experience, during which I had a big grin on my face the whole time. Subsequent rides were in fantastic race-prepped 5.0 Mustangs. Cary got to ride in one of his favorites - a Porsche GT3.
