I've been meaning to post this up but have been pretty darn busy.

The car was running at about 550WHP, just 14psi. The track manager asked me if I could give his friend a ride around the track before the weekend ended. This is the rider's first time in an NSX and also his first time on a track at full tilt. :biggrin:

And then some off-topic fun...

The track manager wanted to see how I could do with the shop truck. The track was closed except for me, and this is generally against the rules. Some things I learned about a 7,700lb dually on the track:

The brakes are AWESOME...for 3 laps;
600WHP/1200WTQ is plenty of power for this thing, it was hitting 100mph down the straights. The NSX hits 115-120MPH on this track as a comparison.
Our Genesis Coupe was hitting 85mph;
Experience really helps, the track manager can run a 1:46 in the Rescue Suburban;
We REALLY test our products thoroughly :biggrin:

And that's the recap from our track day in July. Sorry for the late posting...
