This past Saturday was Industry Track Day 6 at ButtonWillow Raceway. Six of the TEIN staff drove at the event in cars ranging from a stock 2009 Civic Si to a modified Lexus ISF. For two of the staff this was the first time they had ever been to a real road course. It was fun to see everybody’s lap times getting quicker throughout the day and hearing the light-hearted trash talking.

Staff cars lined up and waiting for the sessions to begin.

Ryan – 2009 Civic Si. All stock except for when he swapped to 17″ Gram Lights with Advan Neova AD07s in the second session. Best Time of the Day 2:29

Cooling off between sessions. This thing sounds mean with custom Fujitsubo exhaust and paddle shift 8 speed.

It was a fun day to hangout outside of the office, joke around and DRIVE. Everyone is already looking forward to the next event.

Fun Times.
