Default Attention!!!!!!!!

Just called to check the dress code and when running the track you will need to be wearing long pants,t-shirt,and shoes.I did not read anything about the dress code in the contract or rules so its a good thing I called I was going wear shorts.

Jeremy - now you will need to sign up for a instructed road track event, and you will learn how to drive the feather faster. Still going to bring a milk crate for you the next time I see you.

That was a great way to spend a Saturday guy's!!I had such a good time out there with all of you,Jeremy I have to say a big thanks goes out to you.I'm not sure if some of the guy's realize you played the main part of recruiting for this track day.It would of never happened without your help and I'm glad we turned out to be good friends.
Thats a fun track accually more challenging than it looks on paper,and we got to experience it dry,wet,dry.That was really cool we got to push the cars in the wet as well.It was great getting together with all of you out there today and look forward to getting together again.
I will try to get some pics/vid up tomorrow.
Thanks everyone for helping make this day happen!

Guys, I had a blast. It was nice meeting you all. For anyone who wants to push their car, taking it on a road track is definitely a must!

I took a lot of video, but I don't think I can upload video from an 8mm tape to my computer? Any computer gurus know of any ideas?

I just wanted to chime in and say that I had a great time meeting everyone at the Gainesville Race Way and learning what my car could do on a real road course as it was my first time. It was a great experience. Would I do it again? Definately in the future.

Allot of thanks should go to Eric/Beddow and Jeremy/audiblemayhem in putting this together and gathering people to join this event. You guys put together an awesome meet. Last but not least, thank you Mike/Mooddude and Levent/Trackhorx8 for teaching us first timers the rules and procedures of the road course and giving me pointers on entering/exiting the turns (thanks Levent (or is it Lavent? sorry for sp) for giving me advice and letting me ride with you while scouting out the track. I definately have a new respect for Rx-8's).

Some memorable highlights for me was:

watching Dan/SFLG35 do a near 360 coming out of a turn. (that was awesome to see, Dan, LOL)

watching Chris drift around the track in his black top 240sx.

watching Levent/Trackhorx8 catch up to and chase down a C5 (that was some nice driving skill)

and...

who could forget that G35 Sedan? That guy definately pushed his car to its limits (till it overheated!)





Had allot of fun and learned allot. Thank to everyone for coming out and making the event what it was.

Also, if anyone found a black samsung phone among your bags or stuff. Please pm me...thanks...

You should be able to use a firewire cable to download it. WinXP can do it automatically, if you have a firewire card/cable. If you don't have this, you can get one through ebay for $10.

Just cleaned out the car. It was a bit muddy from my little "excursion" offtrack. I'm still smiling from the track day. Again, I had a blast. We'll definitely have to do it again.

This stuff is addictive for me, so if you enjoyed it too, here are some HPDE (High Performance Driver's Education) and Track Day Links:

NASA Southeast (This is the organization I usually do track days and schools with. They are two day track days with an instructor in your car. You learn a heck of a lot) For tracks like Road Atlanta, Roebling Road, Rockingham, Carolina Motorsports Park...

http://www.nasa-southeast.com

NASA Florida : Similar to the above, but for tracks like Sebring, Moroso, and Homestead...

http://www.drivenasafl.com/

Online Track Schedule for tracks throughout the US for all sorts of club events:

http://www.trackschedule.com/sched.html

Seat Time at Roebling Road (Savannah, GA) which is one of the best track time for the money events you can get.

Dude, I am just jealous. And my post before this one didn't have anything to do with the weight of your car.
