very nice shots there, was that the corner with the high viewing bank after the pits and straight, before the chicane? Thats where i sat once last year and saw some quite good off\'s! lol
No chance of that in your car, it looks well planted. :)

looks like you are cornering hard. Your passenger door handle is hanging on for it\'s life in the last two pics. :rollin  looks at home on the track. Are you going to japfest? I hope to see some rex\'s kick ass up their later this month.

Yep, that\'s Quarry corner, well known for people stacking it ;)

It was my first time on track in the Rex, and in all honesty I\'m sure the car had alot more in it, I wasn\'t anywhere near the limit of grip most of the time, the car was just taking it all in it\'s stride. The only downer was the fact that I came off about 2 laps early due to my water temps getting high according to the PFC. A combination of the FMIC and the small opening on the RE-Amemiya front bumper I think.

I\'ll definately be at Japfest, I\'m going to get at least one track session in.

I\'m pretty sure the reason it looks unsettled is becuase he was going around corners like this...  (just spotted the pics on the local Cruisin\' forum!)
