Audi Kundensport
Anyone who says money can't buy happiness, doesn't have enough to buy their own seat in the 24 hours of Nurburgring.
Cayenne Turbo - Rapid Response
The unsung heroes of racing. The safety team. They make it possible for us to enjoy the dangers associated with racing. With them watching your back you can brake a little deeper, turn in a little later, accelerate a little sooner. You can use a little more curb, you can track out a little farther, ultimately taking more chances than you should.
Give them a wave at the next opportunity.
Preferably on your cool down lap; please.
Stop or my mom will puke...
Seriously, that's not cool. She carried you, she gave birth to you. She fed you, she cleaned you. She taught you, she held you. And sure, I'm sure she scolded you from time to time. This is how you show your love. Scare the crap out of her at Laguna Seca in your Z06. Prove to her that trackdays aren't that dangerous by making her cringe thru the corkscrew.
Sometimes, Blending can be a family affair...
NJMP + opposite lock = FUN
For anyone that is into high-performance driving, opposite lock is that magical moment before disaster. Either you save it and your a hero with god-like skills behind the wheel; or you're the punchline of the dinner time joke and the end of the day.
Whatever the outcome, it can only be enhanced if you had your in-car video records the whole incident, or if a passenger was present who can relay the experience first hand to all your friends.
Nirvana? Having both.
As we prepare for that HPDE's this year...
So as we dust off our track cars getting ready for the 2011 track day season; here's a little refresher of what happens when we don't pay attention to some of the basics.
1 : AWD does not negate the effects of stupidity.
MSM Drift Session
Call this what not to do with your student. Call it excellent car control. Call it every Miata should be boosted. What's for sure is the amount of fun these guys were having... even on street tires...
Monticello Motor Club goes rogue...
MMC, one of my favorite tracks, played host to Ryan Tuerck, and what a show it was.
Glowing metal turns me on...
I'm not a big fan of music overlays on track videos, but this one gets a pass due to the excellent camera placement and glowing exhaust...
Enjoy!
Only 1 Cure for Winter Blues....
Winter took it's first swing at me Tuesday morning. I woke up to see a light dusting on the ground, nothing to worry about mind you; just enough to cement the fact that I have December blues.
What makes me feel better? How about some in-car video from some of last summer's track days?
