I will be running in Group 3.

Blue STi #948

 

So you got your exhaust gaskets all worked out?

 

I'll be there taking pics...If you see a white Suby parked near turn 1, come say hi! (=

 

Sort of. I have it good enough for now. On Saturday I am getting teched and picking up all new gaskets. On Sunday I am installing all said gaskets so they will be ready for the track day.

I have also installed the brake ducts correctly so they should work properly and not be a problem.

 

Not coming out to drive?

 

no money honey.

 

This event was a blast! Laguna is such a fast track and the cork-screw is an awesome turn. My car is now setup near perfectly and did extremely well. The only cars that could "sort of" keep up were a Porsche Carrera 4s (newer model), and Arial Atom. With the Evo2 exhaust I could be floored passed the sound station and not have a problem at all.

I unfortunately don't have any pics, but if anyone else got any please post! :-D

 

OH YEAH! I knew you were going to be flying. Its surprising how fast Laguna is coming from Infineon and ThunderHill where the pace varies so much.

No pics?! :P

 

couldn't get out there, work > me.

 

Ahh nuts!

 

I also started to melt the surface of my rotors, even with the new brake pads and brake ducts, so that I something else I need to figure out. On the plus side, all the heat cracks on the rotors have been filled in :-D. Other than that the car is good.

 

Well if melting your rotors was all that happened, it was quite a good day out. It seems like there's always going to be something...

did anyone have an 'moments'?

 

A Miata had a moment right in front of me on Turn 10. I slipped by him just fast enough so he didn't hit me. The Miata driver couldn't figure out how I avoided him without going off Track, which the next two drivers behind me had to do.

A 911 Turbo had all his lug nuts ripped out and lost a tire, this incident shut down the track for a while.

Backgroud: An Evo 8 was following me at the beginning of a session, we both still have cold tires. I went to hot into a corner, recover and come out. I look in my mirror and he go flying into the gravel/dirt.

I made a way late pass on an old RX-7 race car, and almost wasn't able to stop for turn 11.
