hehe great track day today. A bit hot, but lots of fun. WBB6 and Kenny has lots of pictures, should see them soon. I'll have videos up early next week when I'm back in town. Other than burning through the rest of my Toyo T1-S's (a record 3 weeks!) and getting into turn 4 a little bit too hot in Kenny's SLK 32 AMG (no grip on grass...), it was a blast. Both of us burned through a tank of gas in about 140km hehe. Damn that AMG was fast down the straightaways! I hit about 215km/h at the end of the straight. I could only pull 190km/h in my Poser SLK 320.

My poor brake calipers! :( I had a freakin' awesome time out there, one full tank of gas all gone after 140km's ! holy crap thats insane, but it was worth it. The Pilot Sports held up really nicely out on the track and I still have tons of tread left, then again I don't really drive like a jackass on the streets doing :burnout: like some unnamed crazy guy that wore out his new tires after three weeks.

Well at least he got some lessons from an instructor today and was told not to overdrive the car and drive more smoothly to conserve the tires hehe.

We should organize a beyond.ca track day :)

I don't think he got a good enough look, he was trying to avoid rear ending you cause you were going so slow down the straights! :rofl:

hehe but you must admit, it was a hell of a lot more exciting trail braking deep into the corners in a light drift. I think girlRacer said it best, "it's much faster and scarier in the corner's in rage's car" hehe. I don't think I was too consistent when driving super hard though, I kept screwing up turn 3 and only got about 4 good exits until I started driving smoother.
