First Time at the track.....

I am slow. That is all.

Run #3, I get smoked by a neon

And some entertainment:

A friends run

Nayet.... that's for my next time out. That and cleaning my 7k mile dirty air filter. (I live up a dirt road). Plus I'll prolly remove the spare tire and junk from the hatch....... hope it helps too.

Twisties are the best.

I saw the vids. Looked good to me. If all you have is an air filter and that capped off exhaust I dont see how those times are slow. I have the "silencers" for my exhaust too and they kill my power. I lost to a Porsche Turbo 996 on the bahn because of those silencers. (turned around and killed another one a week later with out the silencers, ego booster) I am no expert but it looked good to me man!

Thanks......

My buddy with the Camaro offered to let me take it for a run but I chickened out after watching him and a few other 9-sec guys. That LACR track is well known for the brisk crosswinds at the point on the track where the stands end. They were having to lift to avoid getting turned into k-rails. I never noticed the winds in my car.
