The car really is. Funny thing, ive done close to 40 sessions now and i still have about 30% pads left..... I keep thinking every time i go that this will do it for my brakes.

Im changing them anyway. With the new set up i should be able to brake alot later. Not to say i cant brake later now lol. Its hard to get it in my head to wait to brake. The advice given to me was pick a corner with a nice long run off and practice braking later on just that corner..... Worst that happens is i go in the grass. So this Saturday ill give it a shot..... I see alot of grass in my future. Either that or ill just shit myself.

Me and a friend having fun yesterday....this guy is fast...took way more aggressive lines than I did.



Then a vette broke down and we all got black flagged for a bit





Just another shot waiting on my next session.



Me and my buddy Carson giving me some great advice. He road with me most of the day. He usually drives a bike out there. Hes a great driver.



Then it rained......booooooo




Called it a day. Got 3 sessions in....had a spectacular spin out on my first session....Ill post up the vid when i figure out how do edit them lol. I had RickTLS in the car with me.

I have more pics to post of my other friends that were there. My buddy had his Elan out there....

Had a lot of fun E. I could see why a couple people started to feel sick; it gets pretty intense coming into those turns hard on the brakes & diving into them if you've never done it before.

But, it's such a rush. Thanks for letting me tag along bro.

That looks like so much fun, damn I'm jealous. How'd the braking go? I know you mentioned a spin out but any other grass time?

The brakes were amazing. The car was planted....it was amazing how fast I was going into turns. I didnt see anymore grass time, thank god....but they did say we could go back out in the rain...i just didnt really want to chance it.

The only issue that car has is me
