Work hard, play harder! The APEX crew has been on the gas pedal all year working hard to release our new forged wheels and we finally had the chance to get together for a team track day. We gathered at Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca with some new additions to our staff car lineup including Ryan’s fully caged E92 M3, Joe & Dylan tracked our new Staff E46 and Cory’s S197 Mustang track car. Eddy trailered down his SpecE46 and Max as usual competed in the Bimmer Challenge series in his E36 M3. Jason from Protective Film Solutions joined us in the paddock with their amazing shop Aston Martin with SM-10 wheels. We couldn’t ask for a better day at the track with our staff and friends.
