cool footage Jim.

Hey Regan, ill throw a pass seat in my car and take you for a few laps I see some spots that you cut a whole bunch of time.

How many laps did you get in?

 

[RYU]

Will, hell yes. i was just so glad to break 1:30 but if you do that would be awesome.

new goal 1:25!

 

[Coz]

If your asking me, maybe 25 all day.
First time on the track in 8 years. Last time and the only other time on Streets it was raining all day.

How many laps did you get in?

hard to tell but are there many elevation changes there?

 

[Coz]

Yes, the track is up and down the side of a mountain.

SOW is where I had my first track experience 10 yrs ago.
It's less technical than the most of so cal tracks but I still love this place.
This is where I get the shake down run done every time I pick up a new car.

I really like actualy riding in the R seat of the local hot shoe whenever i visit a new track...for me much easier to assimilate, than lead follow.

I'm pretty excited about all the improvements I could make on my driving. For once I wasn't so concerned about my car exploding! Liberating stuff.

I can't wait to fully button up the NSX. Getting all the non-compliance stuff done this wknd plus sway bars and an alignment. Even with my hodgepodge setup though the car performed amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed it this wknd.

Hard to say if i'll continue to use the Federal RS-Rs since it was so hot and since our sessions were purposefully cut short but I was totally comfortable with them and they had lots and lots of grip and were confidence inspiring. I'll continue to use them until I see a reason not to.

Glad I didn't take the BRZ.

It's a small track with decent elevation changes in a few parts. It's certainly no Laguna Seca.

27sec in you'll see Jim, Me, then Hapa88 (in his MS3) overtake a S2000.

I totally agree, tight tracks are always a great place to shake a car down to figure out the balance.
