Great outing! We had so much track time, many people quit between 2 and 3pm. I still had tread left, so I drove until my session ended at 4:30.

I like that track - a lot. Saw 135mph on the front straight...

Good times.

Z - you're a very good driver....just need a little more tire under you.

Just DON'T switch off traction control like someone else we know!

Thanks Chappy! I might have to dig up some more tire next time. You still showed me how it's done!

Speaking of traction control...one day I'd like to turn off traction control and see how I do with a drift curve. Might be better in an empty parking lot far far away!!!

Sounded like a good time. I would have come out had I been up on the board since moving back to NC. Next time.

Anyone have pictures?

It was actually a question - not a complaint!
I was interested in seeing your pics, but if you don't want to share, well, that's cool too.
