Default USB at Autobahn again...

Had a chance to go to the track again this past June. More time = more experiece = more confidence = better and even more fun runs. Passed a lot of equal and faster cars on this day. Faster more than likely due to more experience rather than faster car. It's not the car fault, it's the experience of the driver....

Oh, and the new Sikky sway bar was outstanding. Had my stock wheels back on with the barely used PS2s from 2.5 years ago. They're still good, much better than my Pzeros.

Practice Session. No passing, taking it easy around the track, visor up


No more practice. Visor down baby! Passing Time. First victim = M3...haha









Love this picture. Poor GTO....lol. That LED light is menacing...


Here's one videos of that day using Harry's Lap Timer for iPhone5

That red Evo was hard to catch. AWD EVOs and STIs always run fast/hard to catch, in my experience.

With each track run, the driver should be more confident and more comfortable with the car. Sick shots of you and your F, especially that fourth one.
