Default 350z pics from my track day at Gateway International Raceway

I just got back from my track day at GIR and it was a great experience. It was my first time with a RWD car on a track and it took a while to get comfortable with it but by the end of the day the VDC was off and I was nailing the track pretty much spot on.

The best part was the banked oval. I only hit about 90 on it and about 115mph on the back straight but for me it was better to not slam into a wall and come back again then to find that breaking point on the oval at 100+mph. My brother on the other hand in his SR20 turbo 240sx hit 108mph on the oval and was doing a great job.

Anyway, here is a link to some of the pics. I have some of my own which will be up shortly but the photographer there got some really nice shots.

I wish I could post them in the thread but they are protected on the site. Hope you like them!

Hot damn, didn't know that was you man! I was the white Z! I had a blast too, I was hitting about the same speeds on the bank and the straight.

Warren in his Blue Z supposedly hit around 127 on the front straight.

I hit 127 once braking late, and averaged 123-125, unless I was held back by slower traffic.
