Finally took the Lotus to the track...

Hey everyone Haven't done anything car-related for a while (especially since I sold the STi), but I finally got a day off work and took the Lotus out to Willow Springs on Tuesday. Just wanted to share a few pics my awesome boyfriend took.

Bah, it was challenging in a momentum car.. Probably would've been much more fun at Buttonwillow (and the STI would've been killer for this track). I owned turn nine for you

Believe it or not, I got turn nine down pretty well at the beginning of the day. It's deceiving though, because it's such a wide radius turn, and the distance is so long, that you don't really have an idea of how fast you're going. Lack of reference points out there don't make it any easier... Turns 3-4-5 were definitely challenging for me though.
