    Castro Motorsport: Track Day Compilation

    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.

    Chris Castro sliding around his s14 powered E30 M3





    (Awesome shot by our friend Alex!)




    Peter (m3maker) getting sideways in his E36 M3




    Kalon (kato) doing work in the shop Lemons car!





    (Another awesome shot by our friend Alex!)




    Cell phone videos of Chris Castro sliding around his

    Chris Castro drifting his s14 powered E30 M3 at Horse Thief Mile (3 of 4)


    Chris Castro drifting his s14 powered E30 M3 at Horse Thief Mile (4 of 4)




    Video our friend Mike made. not a fan of the song playing most of the video, but there's a lot of good footage!





    Only decent GoPro video from Chris Castro's M3

      Ok, on to my coverage of the event:

      The morning of, Alex didn't want his picture taken before he put his face on, lol.



      Half awake





      We brought Chris Castro's car on the trailer, just in case we had to tow a car home (ended up being my M3... )








      A few sets of tires ready to be roasted!



      Our playground for the day!



      Bryce showing off his shirt, which explained the day's festivities



      Some of the LA Gringo crew:




      My S54 E30 M3 ready to take it's first and only session of the day.... Blew up my clutch attempting to clutch kick (I'm a rookie)

          Alex's car looking odd with factory size wheels on it






          Peter (m3maker) changing out his wheels after some tire destruction






          Pretty much sums up the day




          Abby (ak) took his car out for a little fun and brought it back a little dirty (on one side at least)








          A few random shots from the end of the day












          THANKS FOR LOOKING!
