Summit Point 7/16/2005

I didn't get video, brought the camera, forgot a tape. So, I present you with pictures.

This is an amazing track. There are lots of elevation and pavement camber changes. Made this uniques and challenging, and mostly fun. Yes, the car is fast on track, very fast. One session a 460 whp STI (2.5 swap all forged internals, big F'ing turbo) started one car behind me, on the opening hot lap, he passed me, at the end of the session, he was only one car ahead of me. Not farking bad

It was hot, and I mean disgustingly farking hot. I don't think I will camp at the track again until the cooler months. I got sick on Sat night, just woke up and started puking for no reason. Think it was the heat.

The black 944 is a turbo. He ticked me off, he'd race away from me on the straights, then I would catch him in the turns. I'd finally get the pass and blow him away in the turns. These shots are in traffic, it's the only reason the doode's behind me.

Car was handling great. I might have overheated my left front wheel bearing and a heat shield came loose. Aside from that, completely eventless.

A E46 in my group ate a tirewall, so did a C6 Vette, a couple Mustangs, and some others. Pretty interesting weekend...

what better place to sell a track/street car than at the track. If there were any doubts about the car, the comments I received about how fast I was only proved it's viability even without the front camber. There was some interest, and I gave my contact info to a few people. Hoping for the best.

Next event I am going to build a spec sheet and park it in a better spot. I was paddocked in the overflow lot, not out with the crowds.

You got sick because you let me get banned from mbclass without so much as a whimper. Overwhelming guilt. I can understand.
