well, i'm pretty much a track rat nowadays. clicking
here will take you to 9 pictures which contain the following;
1) a rediculous viper
2) a spec miata (what i'm trying to build for next season)
3) the 02 Mcoupe i rode in with a BMWCCA instructor
4) the spec racers i have worked who knows how many hours on
5) friends 2.5RS and Si
6) a 240Z race car
i have other pictures if anybody knows a way to enhance picture quality i'd be happy to put them up.
last weekend i participated in my first actual competition of the year. steve (240 2NR) didn't show up.....why steve why? i ended up 5th out of around 12-15 cars. i was less than .5 secs from 3rd place, and a solid 2.5 secs out of 2nd or 1st. 2nd place went to another 240 owner (whom i'm pretty sure was far too modified to be in our class), and a purpose built neon that's driven by an instructor. but hey, i'm not all that dissapointed seeing as how i'm at the minimum mods for the class, while others are at their max. and West, you were right, the Dunlop Sport 8000's are junk when hot. 100 degree ambient temperatures didn't help anything. i might have well put crisco all over the damn things. i was especially happy when a few spectators told me i was going through corners faster than the other 240. i also put 2 wheels off for the first time, of course it had to be on what felt like my best run. but bottom line is this; i'm not racing for money, and i had fun, so who cares if i got beat by heavier modified purpose built cheaters right?
