Texas Track Day

rb136 · 06-10-2008

Ran TWS clockwise on the 7th and 8th of June. I haven't merged the data files yet but these are the best raw videos I've ever shot. One session in traffic that consisted of a Z4M, a spec Miata, Carrera S, M3, Nobel, Exige track car, Panoz, and a few lesser rides. The 55 was on Hoosier R6's. John (F111) and I had a great time. Will post the vid link after I get the data merging complete.

It was a blast this weekend with Robert.

I understand that a PCA Lead Instructor who driving in our group, told the guy who runs the drivers education (Rick) that my SLK was very fast and he was suprised when I passed him on two different runs.

Robert is fast, calm and handles his car superbly. Handled getting a couple of wheels off like it was nothing and he was cooking!

Making the M3 spin out in front of me, and then watching a Corvette do the same thing.

Passed so many Porsche's, I lost count.

I am glad you guys had a great outing, the more track events the better you get with the car.

I wish I could track mine but the track is around 4 hours driving and I am not sure if its worth the trip if the roads arent even great.
