Default Back Home from SN III (UPDATED with Photos of other rides!)

Hey All! Nice to Meet you and hang out! I just got home from the event.... at 2:30 AM...

I planned to be home earlier, but my wife's uncle had a track day (Sportbikes) up in Willows, at Thunderhill Raceway and we went to check out his rides..... Lunch time came around and the offer to let me run a few laps was thrown out, so off the trailer she came and CRAZY TIMES!!!!

We just cut the hood open and the front grills for the tape and ran 5 laps for fun and to see what that new turbo could pull out.... got up to 108 in one of the straights, which was nice, given that it wasn't too long...

Here's a mismatch selection of pics of My ride from SNIII and from taking around at Thunderhill...

I'll post all the pics we took after I get some sleep....

Yeah... not an issue turbo related at all at the track, and pushing 6 hard laps on a 90 degree day went without an issue, a few little touches here and there to make me happy aethestically I figured out though...

I'm going to add a heat shield above the turbo as the heat is impressive, and my manifold coating just couldn't handle the heat, so I'm going to rethink that setup (That's the price of doing it yourself I guess... I lived and learned with the black ceramic... it wasn't rated high enough...

FUN FUN FUN... and my wife's uncle with a S2000 really loved taking my tC around the first few times to educate me on the track's lines, as it has two negative camber turns and two blind hills into turns... He liked the performance and I drew a crowd from all the sportbike guys...

It was good meeting you. Sounds like you had a great return trip. That's my next goal - laps on a track.

We'll have to get together again some time when we can visit more...

NAH!... just for the 10 hour trip through the mountains with a brand new turbo... first time she's even been up and she didn't like it... Neither did I, as I would have LOVED, I mean LOVED to spank the retards that come up next to the truck pulling the car and try to race it???? OKAY BILLY JOE BOB CIVIC BOY... you win against my 91 f-150 pullling 3500 pounds

That xB is dominating at HIN events all over... I'll get more and better pics of all the little touches at HIN seattle for sure...
