      Also to back up Dan's kick ass driving there is a miata driven by a guy named Alex there. He is apparently a local favorite and is knocking on the door of beating the fastest track time there for a rear wheel drive. He ran a 47.16 in his one time lap that night so Dan is putting on a good show especially for his first time there.

      <--- Jealous...

      Wish I could have made it out there... I can put in to get off early on Aug. 10 if that looks to be a pretty solid date.

      Good job on the times boys! What was the fastest time of the night?

      If you guys want the hi-res version of any of these just shoot me a pm with your e-mail addy and I'll send it over. Paul, that one of yours in the left hander coming at me is definitely my favorite. The little point & shoot didn't do too bad while it was light out but after it started getting dark it failed miserably.



      Everyone lined up for the 1st session

Well I think we made a bad ass showing! Dan was probably top 5 fastest car there that night!

      Rob has been trying to get us out there for months now. I am sold that's for sure.

      Rob was kicking ass in his truck

      1st session

      Run 1 = 49.25
      Run 2 = DNF
      Run 3 = 50.84

      2nd session

      Run 1 = 52.04
      Run 2 = 50.44
      Run 3 = 50.74


      I asked the track guy what the fastest time was on this track layout and he said 53.20 from an EVO 10.

      If that isn't a "Stick, you Bitch!!!!" moment then I dunno what is.


      Body roll FTL.... :(

      The G8 needs to sit lower and be a bit stiffer sprung, and some Patrick Swayze bars to help with that bodyroll.

      ... and sticky tires. lol

      Why sit lower when you can sit nice and high like me? It totally helps me with the cones because I can just go right over them. No need to do fancy stuff like accurate turning. It also makes it easier to clean all the various fluids off the bottom of the car when I get home too.

      Actually, hanging out with Doug's and Matt's rides will make anybody's Camaro look high. I'd like to shave about 3/4" off the rear ride height of mine, but I'd have to get my rear wheels re-hooped to do that. I'll save that for when I also add the XXXX, and the YYYY, and the, oh wait, I'm dead broke.

      Matt there doesn't seem to anything that wouldn't help.........That is one of those YIKES moments. I don't think my Chevelle lifted that bad when it had stock springs, swaybars, and the Sears shocks.

      Paul = DNF
      Matt = 53.86

      I existed too. I ran my daily driver fox body, so I was less visible.

      updated version:

      2nd session:

      Run #1
      Don = 52.20
      Chad = 49.97
      Dan = 48.84
      Stig = 50.92
      Paul = 51.19
      Matt = 50.88
      Brett = 55.58

      Run #2
      Don = *spun*
      Chad = 51.02
      Dan = no-time *traffic*
      Stig = 52.12
      Paul = no-time *traffic*
      Matt = no-time *traffic*
      Brett = 54.06

      Run #3
      Don = 53.04
      Chad = 51.13
      Dan = 49.33
      Stig = 51.32
      Paul = DNF
      Matt = 53.86
      Brett = 53.38



      I'm down for going again on the 10th. We need Jon there to represent the lowbuck pro-touring crowd.

      We need to get Mary Pozzi down here once she's sorted her car a bit. Taking the overall track record would be a pretty great statement for the potential of updated muscle cars.
