Damn nice what tires?

If no one was in my way I would do about 80mph flat out. But that was my first and only time to date, and on some beat up street tires. Excuses.....
Coming down the crow's nest is what freaked me out. Took me all day to get comfortable with that drop.

its a H4 honda challange car, when was the last time you were up there? late last year the track had some "added" rummble strip type run off area. It took me about 6 session to get comfetable going that fast, the H4 integra can go threw faster.

now turn One is what make me pucker. I just can't do it.

I was there last nearly a year ago! Car down for all sorts of stuff, very little track time last season......

Yeah turn one is sketchy too. Never got a feel for the way it slopes down and away like that without being able to see really. Thing is though I never went into it all that fast. It was before I went turbo and just got bored on the straight, just kinda waiting for it to end....so I would just chill at about 80 to let the motor rest and go into turn one at about that speed. The few times I tried I could only hit about 105 at the end of the straight.

Ummmm preped race cars on the track are fun!!! I got a ride in one of the instructors ( HPDE ) Spec RX-7 and OH MAN that was fast!

People automatically freak out and **** a brick when street racing is brought up but when someone is taking turns on public roads at 50+ mph its encouraged? i dont get it.

I knew that you guys were talking about on a track, and sarcasm isn't always the easiest to see on forums. Some people do get pissed at people when they talk about street racing though. It's off topic though.

but the water in the cup and tofu was a good one. Initial d fo life lol
