great day at the track....

Well most of it was at least. The morning started a little wet, then it dried when I got to run, my 2nd time out and got to push the car hard!! the 3rd time for me to go i did not run, just too damn wet and decided to head home. One guy stacked up his S2000 and at least 10 people spun due to us having to run down the drag strip ( they blocked out normal route with a HUGE pile of dirt, there is a MOTO-X guy going for the world record jump this coming weekend and they are preparing for him). The VHT on the track gets very very slick and even though you try and be careful, that is still not enough. Here is a little video my girlfriend got, and a few photos. I hope you enjoy them.

the track is called Pacific raceways located just south of Seattle. here is a link to the track and a couple videos to see what the whole thing is like. Pacific raceways

I can't wait to get a set of dedicated track tires and wheels for the car
