Now know as Wild Horse Pass West Track. They have really let things fall into disrepair, unfortunately. But we still do run West Track. I think we were there laso March, still fun but the grip is awful.

Running the Boxster over at East a year ago I was not surprised at how bad it had gotten since I was last there years before, I had fun, but pushing at all was beyond my risk profile. West has so little room for error, can't imagine going there now. They've never cared, that place only existed for the main track and nhra and now even that's gone, I was shocked there were bathrooms at East LOL!

Sorry for the tread hijack, Here is my wife, Rita's race from West Trackrack. It was a short race and I was still recovering from back surgery so I didn't drive this event. She had fun.

That car is a E92 M3, he has over 400HP and lightweight to boot. He has trouble with endurance and usually slows down near the end of the race. He keeps just enough to not let us get by. He's not in our class, so no big deal. She took second in class out of 4 cars even though she started from the back. I was still adjusting tire pressures when she should have been on the grid.

It was obvious she was being held up starting from the back. It doesn't look so bad from her camera, maybe I'd be comfortable enough there in the car, plus I'd get to learn clockwise.
