Hey guys, I have a little mounting bracket for a camcorder that I made a couple years ago, it fits around the headrest rods. If anyone wants to borrow it (supply your own camcorder) just let me know. You'll have to come pick it up in Bothell though.

yeah, that's similar to the CruiseCam I have, I'll have video from tomorrow hoepfully...

 

Yeah, they enforce the 'dress code'. I had a set of Mechanix gloves once and they were not cool w/ me using it so I ended up using some leather work gloves. Wasn't too bad in September weather. It would be nice this at this time of year w/ just bare hands in a t-shirt and shorts, but they'll have a lot of bottled water there so just stay hydrated.

 

Have fun tomorrow guys! Wish i could make it out.

 

just finished changing pads and tires...can't wait!

 

She finally emailed me back last night saying I could go. :/

Need a little more notice than that tho -- you guys have fun!

 

Never got a reply, and my tires suck..

Hopefully next time..Have fun!

 

just got back from the track ...WOW, PR is lots of fun - turns 5a-5b-6 are a great combination! I hit around 135-140 MPH at the end of the straight going into turn 1...I could have gone a bit faster, but always slowed down to around 130 for turn 1 - it's too scary going that fast w/ bumps in turn 1

I met G35soul out there in his cvic - he was fly'n! I had originally thought it was going to be in OE trim...I was mistaken!

I'll try downloading some of the videos this weekend and will post them up.

*Although the alpha club is slow to respond - their events are run on schedule, very safe, and the ppl there were all nice. I plan to do future events w/ them.

 

great day, no major incidents.........I really wish they would resurface that track though..........

 

Nice! Glad to hear you had a good time. The weather turned out really nice it seemed, not hot at all. Looking forward to seeing pics and/or video.

 

were you out there in the silver G35 w/ volk wheels? I tried stopping by a few times, but you weren't there. From the grand stands, you looked fast!

did you know the guy in the blue Z? I didn't get a chance to talk to him...looked like he trailed it in.

 

yeah, that was me in the G35.......the blue Z is my buddy......he was having some problems getting tech'd........the first guy who tech'd his car wouldn't pass him because of his race belts.......guy was an idiot.....he missed the first couple of sessions until we could get Dave over to actually see he had an FIA approved seat and belts.........they were hassling me about my helmet too.......dummy never saw a British cert sticker before I guess...... anyway...sorry I missed ya...were you in the black Z in Group C? Car sounds nice! And it looks like you picked up the track quickly.....you should come down to Portland to play next month.........its not as technical as Seattle but its much smoother

 

yeah, I had the black Z. My last session they bumped me up to Group B - the car/drivers were much faster in that gorup! (Both my of instructors were really good and helped me pick up the line fairly quickly...but I'm still leaving lots of room in Turn 1 [too scared of the +135 speeds], turn 3a [my brakes starts to get warped], and turn 7)

When are you going to Portland and with which group?

 

usually go with Cascade Car Club...went to register this morning but its sold out already....gonna try to get signed up for September...here's the link......

Here are a couple of pics from the event. I have to say....this was my first time with NWARC and I was thoroughly impressed with the organization of the event. I have to give those guys a lot of credit! I wish I could've represented for Nissan with my G, but I had to show Honda some love

first350....Peter, it was great to meet you bro. You really picked up on the track fast! I wish I had a stop watch because you got quicker & quicker after each lap! You chased down everyone in Group C & a bunch in B!

Soopa G ..... I didn't get a chance to meet you, but your G looked great out there! I got to ride passenger side with my instructor in his IS300 and see you blister through the turns! I gotta say, you take turn 2 with some *****.

 

Damn, I'm jealous!

Might try to do the Speedware Motorsports day on Sept. 12.

 

get ahold of them ASAP, they fill up fast!! If you go , I'll deff. come down and watch!

 

Damn Peter you so fast you blurry!

 

thanks for the props! I usually don't drive PR that much, its only the third time I've been there..I usually go to PIR....I was having some issues with the ABS kicking in going into 3a and 5a...

 

bump! Saw a chrome silver Z with HKS (or x02) exhaust who waved to me on Bellevue Way today
