Couple of pics from the MVP track day (Autobahn CC)
Thanks to Mark P. at MVP for a great day. Thanks for the ride in the Radical. http://www.mvptracktime.com/
Car is just hooked up since Kevin@UMW spent a bunch of my dough (suspension upgrade suggestions, UMW performance clutch, and UMW flash).
Couple of events ago I blew a coolant hose and felt so stupid because Kevin told me to swap the hoses out to the 997 hose and superceeded 996 hose as a precaution. Neither of these were the culprit(but I replaced them anyway per Kevin rec), but my shop told me they were going to be. I would not ignore this suggestion Kevin has made. One trip across a rumble strip could be all it takes.
Couple of pics - Anil took these...he shots some of the best pictures I have ever seen.
I took these - obviously a different quality of picture - I tend to go with the blurred, crappy look.
The guy who ran the event (Mark P.) took me for a spin in his Radical. 200hp 1000cc Kawasaki engine from a Hayabusa. Curb weight - 1000 lbs.
Godzilla
One of the nicest looking M3's I have ever seen

Some not so good pics of yours truely. I bought some package at the track and will post those when I get them.

Very nice. Did they run the full track or just one half.
I didn't know about this, or I would have signed up. I'm signed up for Chin at ABCC at the end of the month. They are running the South Track on Sunday and the full track on Monday, which should make for a cool couple of days.

FatCab really nice to meet you. Hopefully we will me up again some time. Your car was stunning.
My car seems to do a good job covering up all my mistakes.

I agree - I think I might have to go. I will probably just do the Monday for 149 + 50 membership fee. I have emailed a bunch of guys to see if there is any interest.

Geez dude - we are neighbors. I live in RF on Forest Ave. Are you by St. G's? I thought I saw an RS around that area.
Went to the site (chinmotorsport) and there are still some openings. I think I might go.
Do you know Jim L. in that Grey 2010 RS from the initial post. I have been to several track days with him. Seems like a really nice guy.
I know this monster is registered - not sure who else from around here.
