How about a couple of teasers first.





The previous pics are actually Video Stills from an in car camera I had mounted on the secret compartment lid. The organizer of the track day owns the car above, but it was a friend of his that was driving. The above driver described the throttle as binary, ON or OFF, and that

 

Beautiful!! I see you didn't run off the track and park in the sand box. Congratulations. Those F bodies do a lot of rotating, don't they?

Great pics.


What group were you there with? Id REALLY like to get back to the track, havent been since last year with my previous car. I'd love to get the S2000 out there.

 

I loved the spin sequence.. were you hard on the brakes at that point?

 

I checked out Thunderhill's web site, looks like an awesome track!

That first shot you posted, I looked at it going...ummm, that doesn't look quite right! Any chance you could post the videos? Got any shots of Krazik wiping out!?!

hehe...

Looks like a blast...congrats!

 

Geez I wish I was where you were. I can't wait for next summer! Great pics

 

2x6spds, I don't believe that was an F Body (could be wrong), more like a stock car with 700+ HP. This car and an "S-Car-Go" Porsche were the fastest cars on the track, pulling in 2:04 laps. The track record is apparently as follows
Class FA 1:41.191 101.962Mph STEVE LORENZEN, TAHOE CITY 03-20-1999

Song, Krazik and I were doing 2:38's with a little traffic.


PellisS2K, Krazik and I went with Song, he knows the guy (John) who puts this together as a private track rental.

 

cdelena, The spin didn't require much extra braking on my part, just enough for safety

 

One of the things I tried to do while I was at the track was to hear what our cars sound like from the outside while it passes by at high speed. I was surprised by the near silence of the stock setup, even at the top of 3rd at 90+ mph just a few feet away. However, Krazik
