Default A few pics from TWS last weekend

I attended my first event at TWS via their performance driving school last weekend. I had an amazing time and my instructor was really great to work with!

I also got to meet real life rennlisters for the first time, mglobe and Veloce Raptor, both very cool.

I thought I was hooked after my first DE but holy crap I had no idea I am all in now! There is no turning back.

[edit] here is video of my first sunday session (certainly not my fastest 2 laps of the day but feel free to laugh and critique Forgive me if you don't like the music, the sound was terrible.

Anyway, sharing a few 996 pics from the track.

Cool pics, but I thought if you met mglobe and VR you'd want to buy a Yugo.

I didn't get registered in time

I am planning to stop by TWS on Saturday to drool over all of the cars and wish I could be out on the track.

Sometimes standbys get in to some events due to no shows or late arrivals.

Awesome. How did you record the video and what music did you use? I have a GoProHD with mounts, will that work?

I used Rennline's folding tow hook and gopro camera mount. If you look close you can see the mount in the pics.

The music is just a track I like. YouTube actually tells you the artist and track name.
