Had a great time today. Track started out very wet and dried as the day progressed. This video is of my last run, track is dry. The chicane wasn't in effect today, so the speeds at the end of the front straight were very high. My car was topping out at ~120mph. The 915 and 16"wheels with the Hoosiers.....no top end. Car ran perfect other wise. I tried to stay out of the red line, got a whole season to go........Drove it home.
JP came out and said hi, I cooked him a burger for lunch and we discussed our up coming autocross season and the finer points of suspension geometry. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFyVJg3Wm8s |

PIR is a city owned park, the developers are after it and they are a sly bunch. They damn near had their way last year.
CART & ALMS bring money to the whole city. Without that "pull" provided by another bunch of businesses that profit from this, the developers will win. A "real life" civics lesson.....free of charge. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
