Default Track Day Pics

Thought I'd share some pics of a recent track day. The event organizers hired a pro video and picture guy and the pics turned out great. He also compiled a video for all the participants which was very well done.

I had to compress the originals but these ones are pretty good. I'm in my 89S4 Euro AT. Enjoy!

Cool shots, nice colour. Thought it was mine for a moment with the negatives reversed.

Looks Great........Except you would have been black flagged at the tracks I run at for having your sunroof open. Much safer to have your lid closed.

Marc,

The S4 is great on the track. It handles beautifully and being an automatic is not an issue as I found I was constantly shifting between 2nd and 3rd. and 4th on th straights.

I have the bilstein/eibach setup with 18" wheels and i've lowered it to 150mm Front 165mm rear and it handles very well.

I also have a X-pipe and RMB and it sounds awesome. The 911 guys voted my car the best sounding on the track!

My instructor drove the car a couple of times and was very impressed. I was able to keep up with the new C4S but not the GT2. Boxsters and older 911's couldn't keep up to me.

Wait until next year when I the SC'er on, those guys won't stand a chance!

Get out there and have some fun!

Here are my babies at the track. All autos (including the avatar race car!) and they are all a BLAST! I have had the '92 on track as well. Only my '84 has not yet been on track!

I tacked the '88 first and did that for over a year before taking the GTS to the track. Then the '81 only once and only for some slowish laps... Then the '92 went with me to Hallett and to TWS a few times and now of course the race car is the primary track car.
