Very professional-looking number application there.
Me looking like a dork at the racetrack
Two C6 Vettes (one heavily-modified) and a C4
My lowly grocery getter
The two C6 Vettes on the track
Me following the C6 Vettes through turn 9
In the early sessions I was more aggressive in the corners than the beginner drivers
Right behind the Vettes on the straightaway... I won't be that close for long
By the next lap, the Vettes had pulled away. The 350Z gets on the track late.
Go mice!
Probably doing about 70 at this point
Vette passing a Viper. Note the blue Fire Truck.
Heading down the straight. My fastest speed of the day was 97.5 before Turn 1 braking.
The race group getting ready
Some serious muscle there
The instructor in the green Miata takes the checkered flag for this session, while I'm being trailed by a 14-year old kid in a BMW. Further back is the C4 ahead of the 350Z.
Coming off the track at the end of the session.
Race group practice
On pre-grid before a session
The cars in HPDE2: Silver C6, Civic Si, G6 GT (me) The cars in HPDE1: Viper GTS, BMW 3 (modified), C4, Lancer EVO, 350Z, Black C6 (modified, not pictured)
Turn 8 was a long 180-degree flat sweeper with elevation changes
My speed through Turn 8 was about 50 MPH
There was rain in the forecast, but we lucked out
Me heading down into Turn 1. 95 MPH at this point.
350Z passing the Viper. It was the Viper driver's first track day.
The kid in the BMW has been racing go-karts since he was 6, and was by far the fastest car on the track in any of our sessions
Mother-in-law having a good time
Waving the C4 Vette by. I was quicker at the start of the day, but by the end he had it figured out.
The C4 Vette, me, and the 350Z through turn 8
Dinner at Mario's. The patient wife was still smiling at the end of the day. What a woman!
