The last lap event was held from July 30 to August 1. It was one last hooray for the country's most popular and best loved race track.
For me and the Isnheaky Boys, the organization of the event was a bit unexpected, and as usual we were broke (or at least some were) haha. So like the June track day, we piled ourselves into 2 cars. 6 people in Jez' trusty corolla and Nestle's luxurious exalta (hehe). We originally planned to be there from saturday to sunday but for some reason opted not to.
The trip was pretty uneventful aside from seeing a lot of nice cars while having breakfast at Petron NLEX.When we got there, RWYB was already in full swing. One of the highlights of the day for me was seeing cabspeed's EK run like a slot car. It turns like a slot car, aiming for the fastest time of the day but unfortunately had to retire because of a problem with it's radiator.
Another highlight is Carlos Anton's CRX. That is really one fast race car. I heard he is also aiming for the fastest time of the day but had problems with the fuel system and also had to retire. But the best part is seeing the Ramirez Brothers taking turns driving the Chevy Cruze.
By the way, since the track will be shutting down soon, whoever gets the fastest time will forever be the fastest driver in SIR. I believe cabspeed still holds that record with a 46 second lap time.
Congrats to Ian for placing 3rd (?) in RWYB bracket D. And congratulations and thank you to the Ramirez Family and everyone involved in making SIR what it is, a haven for true blue auto enthusiasts. Salamat po ng madami.Here are some pics of the event. The rest of the pics may be viewed here.
