Default Track Day

What else would you rather do than wake up at 4:15am on a Saturday and race




A good friend of mine is an instructor for Club Racing AZ and finally talked me into getting out on the track despite the car only having 734 miles on it

I would highly recommend that everyone gets out there and personally finds out what their car is capable of doing.

Within hours of installing my new wheels and tires I was out on the track. The Kumho Ecsta V700's proved their silly price tag. They preformed flawlessly. I wish I had some better pics, but there was little time for photo ops after racing, driver meetings, etc.

If anyone is in the AZ area and would like to join me I would be more than happy. I was the only tC out there.

Have a good weekend!

Geoff

I'm like 15 min from Watkins Glen but never been around the track. It's sad.

Some day.

doooo iiiiiitt!

I had a smile on my face the entire drive home. No one is going to believe me without pics, but there was a 996 Porsche Turbo in my group. The driver was a noob. I would actually catch up to him in the corners! After that...not so good. He would SMOKE me in the straits. Granted, that same car with a decent driver would run circles around me, but at least it made me feel good that I could run with the Porsches.

I need more power

including mine, there are two Scions in the Chicago area that I've seen race...

One of these days I will take it on a road course (normally, I autocross)
