Well the weather held good for a few hours and got a Hours worth of track time in . temp was around 4 deg C. sunny and windy
Some things I found out . The RII tires take a very long time to come to temp out there at that temperature. Brakes cooled too fast to maintain optimum temp for good braking. I mysteriously became a mad drifter through the corners and I wasnt even trying . I don't know if that is a bad thing or a good thing. Motorcycles and Bikes don't mix on the same course , cars seem to have the advantage when it comes to cornering . One bike did a lowside , he walked away but I believe his pride was hurt. And I still can't take or hangwith a GT3 in the tight corners but on sweepers and straights They get passed looking silly. Was gonna go out for a third session 30 minutesession but it started snowing. I called it quits and went home. Total cost breakdown roughly 4 dollar entry pass and 14 dollar for each session gas about eighty dollars for gas. My R&R is winding down so I 'll be back out there in May when I am home for good. Later folks Hey Val If you see this , We gotta have our next car meet out there when we get back for good. |

Nice story. Way to show those Porsche guys what an F-body is all albout. (Insert "I thought that thing was a drag-race only car?" comment here.)
