went to gingerman 5-04-06

Cars we had. are...

Fast modified sho's and a supercharged sho, g1 supercharged viper, g2 supercharged viper, cobra R, 05 charger rt, foxbody stang, m5, infinity fx35, 05/6 evo MR, race saturn sedan, 2 modified contour SVTs, subie legacy gt wagon, svt lightning, a heavily modified grandpa lookin s10 and a few modified regular taurus'.

i even tracked my car for 11 laps. i said i wouldnt. but the opportunity was there once everyone was off the track. grabbed an instuctor and went out. he told me i did well. i was carrying massive speed throught the turns, and hitting 85/90mph in the straights. i was able to carry like 60mph through turn 10 once i had it down. i went off track on turn 6 on my 5th lap. the 5/6 sequence is kinda tricky, went in a lil too hot and didnt hit the apex right, overshot the turn and went way too wide, and yeah, straightened out the wheel and let it go on the grass. all in all had fun tearin up my 1 month old tires for a few laps. i realize now i need a tranny with less lag, a bit more power, and better brakes. i mean, i totally didnt intend to run. but im happy i did. it certainly is an experience to drive it. and i learned a few tricks.





YUM

Sweet, I really want to get out to a track event sometime. One of these days one will land on an open weekend and I'll have some money to do it.

gingerman is a great track for cars and bikes. I have been out to a few SCCA events and I love the track. Very nice pics and i love the brakes
