Soooo haawwwt!

MikeK · 2005-05-29, 10:16 PM

These guys were fast! 150 - 160 mph at the end of the front straight!

I'll take two of these

MikeK · 2005-05-29, 10:25 PM

Some parts of the track are a bit overgrown these days. Luckily sperry's lawn service was on the case

MikeK · 2005-05-29, 10:26 PM

That's all for now ... time for scott/matt/eric to post some video footage!

But I still need to find a hardware solution that will last me until I learn to smooth things out.

Wow guys! That looked like an awesome time! the pics are great, sounds like there were some adventures, and everyone was safe. Excellent.

doubleurx · 2005-05-30, 08:37 AM

Yes that was an awesome time. Dean your car is fine. Scott did a great job and was right back on course. I was behind him, it looked scary and the in car video is classic.

My brakes are toast! That was a blast though. I can't wait to get out there in two weeks again. I hope our group is placed together again.......Dean? It would probably be safer that way....ha ha!

doubleurx · 2005-05-30, 08:51 AM

There was a photographer there that got tons of shots of all of us. He sold us the CD for both days for $35. The pics are great, but the video should be intense.

Awesome. I had a great time, and felt like I drove pretty well. Video on the way.

Matt in total hauling awesomeness:

sorry little blurry.

dknv · 2005-05-30, 09:25 AM

Looks like good times!
How was the track surface, how was the organization of the event? Did you guys feel like you had plenty of track time?

Surface was pretty bad in some some spots like the straight entering 12.

I felt like I had lots of track time before my car went out of comission.

tysonK · 2005-05-30, 09:30 AM

thanks to carrie for those front straight pictures. The one of scott turned out prefect in focus! Which is hard to do with that camera at those speeds!

doubleurx · 2005-05-30, 09:32 AM

The track is very bumpy. It was more difficult to brake into turn 1 than it was to actually go in at over 100mph. The back straight is terrible. You need to stay in the middle, unless you want to bounce around at 120! Even though it is so uneven, it is still a blast. Definately want to set the suspension even softer next time.

We had plenty of track time. I think everyone was exhausted by the end.

Overall it was a great weekend. Can't wait for the next one.
