Yeah it was a great time. I needed a day or so of reflection to realize that I may have been bitten by the track bug.

Items/Memories of note:

Axxis Ultimate brake pads are a FAIL for VIR.

My driving skills leave much to be desired.

Sunir is the Rain Man of the track. He can't park a car in a mall parking lot but he can drive the crap out of a car on the track. "Yeah...definitely go fast...yeah...Judge Wapner..."

Ion is a surgeon on the track. I have to thank him for letting me drive his car. That takes a ton of trust and I know it's not easy. The GT-R is most impressive.

...and finally...for me, the quote of the weekend...."He's drowning in a motorboat."

Yea, read #2 for open tops... And the spyder is limited to about 90-100 with the top up.. Would stink at the main straight of summit or back of shenandoah

Thanks Sunir!

Btw I'm surprised you didn't notice the "Force India" F1 shirt I wore Monday hahah

That was a Toyota FRS. The owner bought it earlier that week and it only had 600 miles on the dial.

He was letting a lot of the instructors drive the car and by the end of the day the car literally had no pads left.

I never saw it on track which probably means it was moving pretty good.

Here's a quick vid I took on the front straight. The last GTR is Ion getting his business done.
