7 videos 20-25min sessions.

I have never done a track event like this before and let me tell you. Autox is boring compared to this. I learned so much about driving in the two days at MSR that it has drastically helped me. I have also learned what my car needs done to it before another event. (Brakes definitely and some better tires if possible). But man, it was definitely exhausting on me and the car. 1-4 runs was the first day of learning. On 3-4 I was pushing to hard and was actually screwing up more than I should. 5-8 runs I did excellent and got promoted to blue group. We were going pretty fast on the track. I toped out 3rd and hit mid 1/4-1/2 in 4th gear on the straights.

The 7th run of the day my brakes started shaking the car bad and causing the ABS to kick in when it didn't need too. The 8th run the brakes seem to have done a bit better so they weren't as hot. The instructor drove my car on one of the runs in RED group and he scared the crap out of me on how good of a driver he is and the ability my car had in the advanced group! He was passing vettes, porches, etc. Amazed!

Anyways, am I addicted ? Hell yea!

Few car deaths at the track: Two C5 Vettes ate the oil pans off roading and hit big rocks. Oil all over. And one S2000 blew its oil filter seal and oil went everywhere and caught on fire. They had it out before too much damage was done.

I will definitely have advantage on alot of guys showing up for ZCCA convention this year.

 

That is freaking awsome. I would love to participate in something like that.

What's the blue tape on the headlights for?

What did the pro driver have to say about your G? Hopefully he was honest & did not candycoat...

 

He seriously is considering a 350z or G35. And he liked the way the Sedan handled.

 

It looks like you had a lot of fun. I've had an opportunity to ride with an instructor out there before and it is amazing how they can push ordinary cars to such limits with ease. We were in a Ford Contour SVT and he scared the hell out of me.

Looks like fun. Time to lower that center of gravity. I see your grill is back to stock as is the emblem. Did you have a change of heart with the black grill?

 

Too many chips made it look really bad. I tried to redo the grill again and it came out even worse.

 

The videos look great and I see they have opened the new section of the track. Which club/school were you with at the track?

Thanks for sharing.

 

Very nice... looks like the road racing bug has caught ya. Helluva lot of fun but not a cheap hobby. Just got my R compound tires and Cusco A-arms for more negative camber up front. Are you running on stock supsension?

 

TheDriversEdge event. Were were the first ones to ever run on both tracks as a instructor event.

 

Bone stock suspension.

 

That's awesome! I would love to do that. How much did it cost to do that? I imagine you had to get a brake job after it as well.

 

Well between session one and two I had to bleed the brakes again. Other than that, the brakes are okay now.

$275 for the two day event.

 

Jealous....

 

Sweet videos/pics.

 

Cru, loan me your front brakes for my next event please!
