Nice vid, I did that when I owned an Audi TT and the instructors were very helpful with breaking, cornering and car control. It looked very windy as you passed the flags. How did your tires hold up?

I ran with my Michelin pilots all seasons!!!!! Heresy right?

The tires were incredible. I forgot they were all seasons. I can only imagine how much grippier the summer pilots would've been but frankly the car and tires had so much more grip for my skill level that it was fine...

Anyway tires are still good but man I think I will need new pads.

Testing the cars brakes and steering under these conditions makes you realize how amazing these machines are....

Hi Ivangene - thanks.
Ok - camera is Lumix LX-5 mounted on a Panavise suction cup mount.

I believe the track is about 1.75 miles or so.

Yes - am already signed up for 3 more this season...

But boy I was exhausted afterwards - in a very satisfying way...

+1 for being tired.... keep hydrated and rest while it not your run...


wait, let me re-think that, when its not your run, ride with an instructor !!

Ok......what the heck was a SUV doing out there? If you liked the day..welcome to the "slope". Tires, pads, suspension. Looks like you had a great time! +1 on riding with an instructor. Get as many rides with them as you can. The first time I rode with one he made look at his feet going around the course. I almost saw my breakfast for the second time. Bet you were giddy...yes? My first DE of the season is in 2 weeks and I'm driving the course in my sleep.

Looks like a good time. My first DE isn't until July.

ivangene

dude... where do you live, Alaska?

I have my second one the 18th of this month if I keep up this pace I might learn how to drive in my sleep like Pete

My problem is I always drive better in my dreams.

Haven't had the time. Work, camping(Scouts with my son) more work.

I did pick up a set of track wheels and tires now it's just wait.
