Castro Motorsport: Track Day Compilation

[e30polak]

So I was waiting for more people to post their own pics from the past track event, but it's already been long enough. So about 20 of us got together and rented out Horse Thief Mile - the small, tight, drift oriented track at Willow Springs Raceway. There were no real rules and no true schedule. Just an open day of hot laps, drifting, and hanging out. We all had a great time, and can't wait to do something like this again! :mrgreen:

I'm also including pics from our track day at Streets of Willow with Shift S3ctor back in September that I forgot to post.

I'll start off with the action shots from our buddy Jay at Luxe Box Media, and a few videos of Chris Castro's E30 and video with a lot of Kalon's (kato) E30 - the shop Lemons car, in it. Unfortunately, I didn't get on the track to take pics or videos.
