I never changed the exhaust on my 86 but always wanted to, I have to say I always thought the engine noise on the 3.2 is just music!

yesterday Seattle had SUN!!
It just happened to be a track day too
So first lap, first session a 997 left coolant from turn 3 all the way to turn 9 - took them 45 minutes to clean up
(not only that but he knew he was leaking and drove "the line")
Anyways **** happens... so I was Solo in my car for the first time. Logged 170 miles ON TRACK! During all of that my POS camera (which is now being offered on craigslist FOR SALE) captured 32 videos of 0:03 and one 4:00 vid... this is a clip I cut from it....first lap, first session, first time solo... head left in pits, foot seriously shaking with fear/addenelin ? - hands all over the place, tires cold and remnants of coolant in turn 3....
I learned a lot from the day and in session 2 had my line finally pretty tight. Started to move the wheel a lot less (which was part of this vid angle - teach me to stop steering so much) started to open up the track and drive smoother. By session 3 I forgot everything and reverted back to NooB status
and then I went out for an epic double session.... 45 minutes!!!! where I felt incredible...by far my best driving ever. It really started to click, get consistant and relaxed. I drove till they made me get off...(special day by invite, small group...no real run groups or sessions.... just drive all you want) - so at 170 miles, I figure I put 2.25 hours on track (remember I am slow) At the end of the day - I was very prouod of my progress...the best day EVER!!
hope you guys dont get bored with these NooB vids - as stated, first lap, first session, first time solo.. I got better !

check out this car that was running circles around me.... 570HP to the ground checked the day before....He's the original owner, it has about 8k miles on it and a "few mods"
