Hey, it's not "real" racing if it's one car at a time!

Nice pics

Good action shots. Love the daylight under the right front wheel in one picture (he needs to get that addressed!)

LOL

Actually, I don’t think they would mind. The national rally drivers I know don’t what to be associated with road racing at all. Saying it’s boring to drive around and around and that, and I quote, “It would be boring to drive [a street car] around a race track since within 10 laps I’d be at the [car’s] limit all the time”.

We conveniently never had the chance to put that statement to the test… aha

Anyways, for me it’s not racing if there are no over taking.

lol, I've heard the exact same line from exact same drivers

"circuit racing? First lap is all wrong, second lap is a little better, third lap a little better still, 4th lap and onward are all within 1 second of eachother, boring!!!"

Saturday (June 17) was autocross open to all cars. I raced along with several other 350Z drivers. Photos are posted here.

Sunday (June 18) was Porsche only. I dropped by wearing a “Z” baseball cap, and mingled with the drivers. My autocross experience is limited, but these guys set-up a long course (about 90 seconds).
