So anyone other than me driving in the event?...
Just checking...

Whoohooo its tomorrow.... I'm excited and nervous at the same time...
I went yesturday to watch some action there... mmm mmm good.

I know, me too.
I'll have to be bringing Puff, though. Can't drive Peep presently.

Can't wait to see you there!

Woo hoo! That was fun. I'm so f'n beat! Could be because I've been up for 32 hours now but three thirty minute sessions was FUN!
I started to get some serious brake fade on the last session, though and my coolant light flickered a couple of times so I didn't do the last session (yes, four thirty minute sessions!). I think it was the repeated braking from 115 on the straights.
I need some track rubber - I had to let some Escorts pass me.
Favorite car? Toss up between some of the NSX's, the '00 Cobra R, Lotus Elise and the track prepped SN95 Cobra (2900 pounds!!). Except he lost brownie points for running a Corvette front suspension and Camaro rear...
Only like two people spun off I think so it was (for the most part) a well behaved group. I pushed too much once or twice to pass people and I feel bad for that but I'll get over it.

Eric's got the pictures so don't yell at me for not posting them!!

Ok, only another 7 hours before I get to go home and go to bed...

thats great man...it sounds like u had some real good fun.....happy for ya...

It was a blast.
I think the best part was this older guy in a beat up miata that he picked up for $500. I had a hard time keeping up with him in the turns (he had track rubber and much more experience than me - a combination hard to overcome ) but I completely owned him on the straights. If I let him pass me I'd have to modulate the gas to keep from running him over.
I told him before going out on one of the sessions that we'd have to be on opposite ends of the pack because we were constantly in eachothers way. He said he'd look for me once he got on the straights and wouldn't see me so he'd concentrate on the road. Next thing he knew he'd hear me letting off the gas b/c I was right on his tail!! His expression was great.
We took a video and from the far end of the track you can hear my exhaust over EVERYONE'S. It's awesome.

Photos can be found here.. Yes it was an awesome time... especially beating on the Tour.. just kidding, you walked me on the straights.
as you should.. 3.0 man.

Hey Eric, where can we see the mooovies?

My favorite pic is DCAM0029, that body roll is great!!

here is one MOVIE still working with making other
small ones.. I have over an hour of footage.

"You may experience problems playing a video track in 'firsttrackday2.2' because the required compressor could not be found."

I'm no internet guru so I have no idea what that means other than I may have to download something. What is it and is it free?
