love the Porsche's~~~

 

Yeah, I woulda taken more pics but didn't wanna unmount my camera each time, lol. My friend Josh was supposed to come out with his fancy camera, but his car was acting up. Maybe next time...

 

Very very cool, Lyndon. Thanks for sharing. Looks like you and Rachel had a blast. I'd consider joining you next time in January or February once I get my car back.

Did the instructor drive your car? What did he think of it on the track?

 

ya i just unscrewed it in between runs but i forgot to take some pics of me in gear haha.

no he didnt ian. but he had no complaints about it when we were going around.

 

UPDATE: 1 of the tampa guys got some action shots of me

Nice, did ya have to change the brakes after the race?

 

no ive still got the same project mu's on there. havent really checked them yet. i will before i head back to the track in 3 weeks but im hoping they last longer than that. ive got a set of stock pads i can always throw back on if i kill them too quick.

 

good news i found out i have plenty of life left on my project mu ns pads so im good for my next event.

also figured out that i needed a card reader to transfer my vids since they are almost 2 gigs each. im hesitant to try editing them on my laptop since its old so im going to hold off. i did narrow down my pc problems to my motherboard so that should be replaced shortly and hopefully i can do the vids later this week.

as a hold over, heres rachels vid of her g35 chasing down her dads c6 vette:

Wow... awesome job!

 

i want to go... what r the requirements? like helmet? 4 point harness?

 

car in good condition. sa2005 helmet. thats about it really. leave your ego at home because its not a race.

check out http://darksidede.com/cgi-bin/iB_cgi/ikonboard.cgi for the darkside forums - they hold 2 awesome events each year in may/nov at roebling. also a good place to learn for beginners.

 

why did you tape the headlights?

 

Great stuff Lyndon. Sounds like you are hooked. It's the best time anyone will ever have in their car.

 

didnt want them getting excessive chips from the track since we're so close together. i can always repaint the bumper so dont care about that.
agreed ron. im done for the year but im planning on doing 3-4 events already next year.

 

THis looks hella fun!
