It's been a long time coming, but I've finally proven that my 11 year old car is up to snuff. I went out to Motorsports Ranch Houston today with my Dad. He brought his Z06 and we had a great time. The NSX is a dream on the track. I used to love driving the Z06 at Texas World Speedway, but I can honestly say that there is no way I'd take rather any street car (that I can concievably afford) on a race track. Anyway, it was a blast! The track is most certainly a handling track. There are two straights, but mostly a lot of late apex cornering. I ran the track in 2nd and 3rd gear. It's almost perfect because at the end of the straights, just before braking, I'm coming up on about 7900 RPM in third. With slicks to hang on around the carousel on the back straight, I would probably need 4th, but using street tires, there's no need. The group of people was really good. One of "The Driver's Edge" instructors went out with me for about 6 laps. That was great. This wasn't a DE event, but he was there and did me a favor since I haven't been on a track in 2 years. I'm just really pleased that all the time I've put into maintenance and the choices I made for upgrades to the NSX really shined on the track today. Oh well, enough chatter. Here are a few pics.
