All I can say is HELL YEAH!!!!!!! It was my first time up hammy and it rocked!!! It will really put you and your car through the paces. Brake fadded once or twice, shocks started to get pretty hot on the back side. It started to get really washy back there. My shoulders are a little sore. It certainly made waking up at 6am on a Sun. worth it. Also thanks to everyone who showed up. It made it that much cooler.
Late,
Jeff

I held my own up there but I definately think I could have been a step quicker with proper tire pressure.
I made up some time once it openned up and I moved up the pack with the dude in the rx7..not sure what your board name is bro. Good times though. 120>20. ahhh. lol.
That drive was amazing. Really gives you an example of what your car can do and what you can do. I definately need a brake upgrade. My pads are toast and I boiled my fluid. Soren was behind me for one of my pump sessions. And bigger sway bars are coming soon.
Was really cool to see a lot of you guys drive. Jeff is a wild man. Hell of a driver. James is flat nuts. Unfortunate statistics with that many cars. I'm just very glad everyone made it home safe and body wise in one piece. Great day.

Ya I had a BLAST!! I was in the 99 2.5RS... my car was handling really great on the back side. I think I finally dialed in my perfect settings for the car, agx's at 3F 7R, sway set at 22mm and rode my tires 36F 34R. All that made for a really fun time despite that my brakes sucked and I had to step on them way early before the turns. I'm glad there was such a big turnout too, I did not expect that many people to show up!

That was definitely a great drive. Too bad for me Soren didn't want me in his car during the drive. I guess he wanted some "quiet" time during the drive. But all-in-all, it was very eventful.
