great pics

 

Nice pics. Looks like a fun weekend.

 

Nice shots. I see there were some interesting cars out there. I love the old school Firebird Formula and the Noble. Is the Road America?

 

do you guys run with VDC on ?

 

Nice pics. What's the blue car (noble/ultima)?

 

Yes - Road America is not a good course to gamble your daily driver on without it. I am sure it takes a few seconds off each lap, but the extra security blanket is worth it. It doesn't guarantee not pancaking at The Kink, but it does give you a little more protection!

I do go without engaging VDC at slower courses with much safer 'run-off' zones like Gingerman and the new Autobahn course in our area. But RoadAmerica has several places where high speed and course difficulty can lead to smacking a wall .... like this!



I also always run AutoX without VDC on btw. Little danger of doing anything there but knocking cones over.

Btw, the dark blue car that GZire asked about is a Noble M400. He originally was slated for the intermediate session with me and Derek but he chickened out (terrified of us no doubt!) and dropped down to the novice group.

- Riff
