We had a high speed lapping event today! Fck I need a camera cause I kicked ass in my class! There were some sick cars (in higher classes obviously)
3 open wheel cars including an Ariel atom, some mini F1 with a 4 cyl ford motor, and something else with a Volkswagen motor.
Because of my greenhorn status (4th event counting this one) they stuck me in the last running group with the slowest cars...
Chevy s10 with a 350 swap, beater 1990 Toyota truck and that open wheel Volkswagen I mentioned above.
So there was no passing except if you caught up to the guy ahead of you they would get a blue flag and have to pull off to the designated area on the main stretch while you blow by... I passed everyone in my 10 minute run (takes approx 30 seconds to lap)
Even though they weren't the toughest competitors I felt accomplished and it made my day, I'd honestly say I had more fun doing this than auto slolam. I do wish I was set in the same run group with my buddies, they consisted of; 00 type r with too many goodies, 97 teggy 4 door b20vtec, 91 si hatch all motor built z6, but hey there's always next time for greater possibilities.
Half way through the day I cooked my brakes pretty bad so I want to do a full break upgrade, peace of mind, performance and safety in mind. I also got to run my Hoosier track slicks, I was so damn happy with them, I've never felt grip like that before it felt like cheating even!!
Personally as a driver I improved today. I had the chief instructor ride along with me and he definitely got me to drive smoother and faster. I really wish I had videos to show.
All in all I had a good fucking day
