All i have to say is.....I am VERY happy how my car handled with it's stock, 164K mile suspension. I thought the rear was going to be tail happy. Not the case. It was VERY predictable.

Fortunately, my 4WS worked the whole time. A few times I chose the wrong lines...and the car got LIGHT. That's a scary feeling.

It was AWESOME hearing my instructor say, "Smooth........get on it...get on it" so that I made the guy ahead of me let me pass.

The instructor I had for the 4th and 5th runs was REALLY cool. He REALLY encouraged me.

I still have a lot of work ahead of me.....but man...tracking is SOOO much fun.

I learned A LOT today. I can't wait until tomorrow!!!

Here are a few pics:

AHAHA. Dude, it was Summit Point in WV....your home town!!!

It was the Ferrari Club of Washington's Event. It was a two day event with 5 20 minute sessions EACH DAY!! I have NEVER seen SOOO many Ferraris in my LIFE!!! And they were tracking their cars pretty hard too!!!

Go here if you want to see the pics. Just be warned...me and my friends were acting like jackasses in this thread.

Wow, Summit is quite a drive from me. I wish I did live in Charles Town, I'd be there every day

 

I't interesting that we have more proffessional tracks here in Europe:



Yours seem to me a bit amateur...like it is made from some old street?

 

Some more pictures:

 

cool pic, sounds like fun, how much does it cost to do that?

 

It's 300 Czech Crowns per 30minutes, it's about 10$. Lot of fun :-).

 

For some reason if you click on these links they should work. Works for me anyway….

Not sure if you are asking me but it was $350 for both days. 10 20min track seesions...and two hours of class time.

Was worth EVERY penny!!!

 

Good to see some people interesting in something other than racing in a straight line

Thats a good deal. I'm going to limerock on Nov 10. $205 for 5 20min sessions with instructor + $35 NASA membership. Can't wait either. I just hope my ST rear ARB comes in by then.

 

Is it too late to sign up for that event at Limerock? Is it open to anyone? Do you take your own car on the track?

It sounds like fun, I'd be really interested in signing up for something like that.

Yeah, track is where all the fun is. I think drag racing is ghey IMO...particularly in a Prelude.

I KNEW when I posted this I would get A LOT of views...but few responses.

It was funny...when the head guy from the Ferrari club called the turns on the track the "Talent Section".....and the long straightaways the "Talentless Section". He also said that ANYONE can drive a fast car fast....but to drive a slow car fast around the track takes skill and talent. He said that being fast on the straightaways is ALL the car...not the driver. He is TOTALLY right. I saw one guy adjusting his driving gloves as he was shooting down the straightaway. LOL

 

drag racing isn't all that but when ur car is running 12's and u run a fast *** car and you handle insane, i think that sthe best ****. my goals are to hit 12's with a FULL OUT suspension set up cuz i loveeeee road racing. wouldn't u think thats down tho? not only your fast on the straight but your fast on the turns cuz you have stiff *** susp. and awesome handling and u konw how to drive.
