Default INCREDIBLE!!! My review:

Definitely the best Track Day I've ever had.
My upgraded 034 TBB kept popping off so I lost my second session while I was fixing it but after I reinstalled my stock TBB (always keep one with me) then the car was perfect.
Brakes were awesome all day.
Tires had tremendous grip.
Overall the car performed perfectly and towards the afternoon I was really moving.
There were quite a bit of noobies on the track that slowed me down but eventually let me pass after signaling me by.
It rained in the afternoon a little then dried up, then rained then dried up.
At one point the track was wet on certain parts and completely dry on others... made for interesting driving.
I was pushing harder than ever before and could really feel the quattro helping me out!

On top of that we had a great Burger and Hot Dog barbeque for lunch and some free NOS energy drinks.

Other than the unfortunate small crash (and the long wait afterwards) by the guy in the S2000 at turn 2 it was a great day.

Side notes:

Eshel asked me to drive him around to different parts of the track so he could shoot stills of the White GT Street and Blue 997TT (driven by Alon and Jeff Pabst) for a little project I'll let him tell you about. I shot video on my trusty little Sony HD Camera and hope to edit it and post it up soon.

Rush HD (new HD channel that I subscribe to on Aurora Cable and soon coming to Rogers) showed up to do a segment on Apex Driving School. So they came up to me and asked me if I was okay answering some questions. They asked my about my car and it's modifications, how long I have been tracking, why I choose Apex, what is the "RUSH" and stuff like that. They really got a kick out of the car seat in the back (Julianna's). They interviewed some other people as well and it all should air in 2-3 weeks.

Eshel took these pictures...
