Fernando Bayo pushing his 997S hard on the first laps... just look at that attitude... quite aggressive in every turn... Track Days supports fast, accurate, aggressive driving and we encourage participants to learn new limits in a safe environment and manner...
...Whoaaa!!! yet another Evoms Porsche a tad sideways !!! here owner Gerardo Tejeda on the recognition laps already pushing hard...
Fresh from the showroom, Genaro Castillo's 997TT was tremendously fast...
During the brake...
Since no one took pics of me on the track, I decided to do some static shots of my Boxster with the Audi Girls... I quickly learned that "Chicks dig Porsches"...
The 997TT was astonishing...
Evoms Cayenne S with correct accessories... "22 TechArt wheels, Tequipment Aero and Audi Girls...

Having the SRT8 on the track was a good experiment... here deucing it up with the Cayenne S...
Other brands...
Here is my dad in his SLK350... tremendous SLR-esque lines out of the SLK R171... low euro sport suspension contributed for neutral handling... 7 gear g-tronic gearbox always had the correct gear in every turn... last but not least, excellent exhaust note out of the SLK350, it seems the Mercedes engineers worked hard at this one...
Juxtaposition... Audi Girls with Mercedes SLK350... they look good... including the car...

"Chicks dig Porsches"...
... it is a confirmed fact, "Chicks dig Porsches"...
Whoa!!! what a day !!! Lots of fast driving and plenty of fun through out the entire day... The objectives of Track Days were covered with an impeccable organization, plenty of track time, professional instruction and even some competition in form of a tight difficult slalom course, food for over 150 people and most important safety for everyone...
I would like to thank all participants. Thanks to Audi and the Audi Girls for their support through out the day. Thanks to Kike Cortes for a wonderful instruction and track support. To Autodynamica, thanks Luis for your support, Carlos wonderful job tuning those Evoms Porsche. Last but not least, thanks to Fernando Bayo for a well organized and fun event.
and Track Experience of over 35 years, yes I was born at the Track !!!
Fernando Bayo in his 997S chasing the Evoms700 996TT... good photo !!!
Track Days celebrated its first event, an impeccable organization, plenty of track time and great weather made of this very first event a true success.
As accorded with the original Track Days group after Track Day (2), Fernando Bayo would organize the third event. Fernando invited me on board and I decided to revamp the impromptu event into a well organized, professional event. Logo, website, sponsors, complete rule book, etc, came into play for the 3rd event.
Keeping the original objective of finding a safe environment to drive our sports cars, Track Days now offers a professional, well organized event with plenty of track time for everyone to enjoy.
Let's check out the action...
Manuel Torres pushed his Evoms700 hard through out the day...
