Default I love to be on track with Muscle Cars........

First time out with my totally new suspension......AWESOME

Running with COM Sports Car Club, and a myriad of cool cars.......

NHMS, my least favorite track as far as being very rough on the car and driver....... I doubt I will go back.....

Being on track with muscle cars...... very enjoyable......

Wow, it's great to see cars like that old Camaro on track! Remember that those cars typically have brakes the size of an iPod.

Glad you are happy with your new set-up. I coached at NHIS once--ugh, I hated it.

Are you using an Aiptek camera, Paolo?

Nice, looks like the car is hooked up pretty well, was it a bit "twitchy" feeling at 1st? BTW, take off those stupid visors that keep falling down!!

A kick butt (according to my buddies) suspension that I am slowly trying to get used to......

The video has been shot with the EDIT A-HD+ - 1080P High Definition Camcorder (Black)
But I am sure they all work well.....

Very nice autocross setup, with elevation changes. Neat.

The Black Camaro with the 22" rollers looked funny, but what a fast car on straight line.

Way too many tire walls so close to the road

Mark, it is an official NASCAR oval with an infield configuration........

The transition from the infield to the oval is rough enough to really jolt you.......

Plus there really aren't any runnoff areas, just lots of concrete walls.......

NHMS really should be considered an autocross track......

Paolo,

At our last DE we had a 1965 Corvair out - a whole 85hp
The guy had a blast...

Hey - are you going to show up in November? Al is cooking for everyone - chicken cacciatore, sausage with peppers and onions and baked ziti. Our CDI, Serge is making dessert. We will be feeding about 120-150 people... fun!

And, just to let you know - we do offer a nice mix of cars - check out the list for yourself - we've posted on www.clubregisration.net (have you checked out their new look yet?) under Dark Side Driving Events.

And yes, we offer passing anywhere with a point - both on the Friday Lapping Day and during the event (if not an instructor we call you the Hot Pink - Hot Lappers!!! and you have to wear a pink t-shirt or thong... LOL)
