The S/C Eco tears up Gingerman raceway ;)
Tuesday, April 11, 2006 3:56 AM
Ok I didn't really tear it up but it did alright...

First time out on a real track, had an absolute blast. This event was put on by speedtrialusa and was very well organized. Had driving instructors ride with you the first few sessions and no passing during the first two (for beginners). After that you could pass only on the straights and when you were pointed to pass by the car in front.


Regardless it was a riot, I'll do this again any chance I get. Anyways onto the vids these are long. Please right click SAVE AS! save my bandwidth


Keep in mind this was my first time ever doing this, I'm not a perfect driver Although I don't think the cavalier did too badly.

Very sweet, I remember my first time on a Road Course, wicked good time. To date I've done probably 15 - 20 laps and it never gets boring. The best thing I found to do was go when other people are racing and just stand with the marshals (they don't mind here at our track) and look for where about the other cars are braking and start turning in, then adjust accordingly. Anyway, nice stuff man. Looks like a fun course.

You looked like one of the fastest guys out there, getting around some pretty fast cars. Thats sweet. Too bad brandon couldn't take the miata.

Ican't imagine the zone I would be in after keeping up with an STI then passing one in a cavalier!!!! I am still amazed!!

Jons just that much faster than the drivers of either STi . 10 psi of boosted eco, 235 series tires and a rear sway bar takes care of the rest

Joe,

You knew about the event, remember the reply you made in my post on JBOM? :p

It was a ton of fun out there. I was in the beginner group as I had never done this before. So I was probably one of the faster ones in that group, next time I"ll do intermediate.

Brandon, I'm sure none of those things on the car helped me at all. Next time your cav needs to be ready. That could be a fun match.

Glad you guys enjoyed the vids
