Hi, Guest
So, for all the chumps ;) who didn't make it out to Shannonville this weekend, you missed a good time. Highlight of the day for me was passing a Ford GT driven by an instructor. They were giving rides for $40 for a couple laps, and I caught up to and passed him. Actually I caught him, and he didn't let me pass for over a lap, so I had to ride his ass pretty good. Almost rammed him a couple times cause he got on the brakes way earlier than I'm used to.
I'm sure he wasn't getting 100% out of it because of the passengers, but still. It's a GT40! The one amazing thing was seeing waves off heat pouring off the back going down the straight. That beast makes a lot of heat! Think about seeing heat waves coming off a car doing 160.
Overall the day was pretty good. Weather was great, hot but not TOOO hot. Not many Foci on track (ahem). My intercooler worked great, barely got warm after a whole session. Corded my R comps so they're done. Passed some Mustangs and Cobras... I only got passed by one car the whole time, a completely gutted Mazdaspeed Protege, but I caught him up again and got him.
GapBoy was there organizing, thanks! And I think BrooksZX3 and... sorry forget the other guy showed up.
My car is a monster now with the intercooler. The Focus NEEDS 200+ hp to make the chassis work. It finally has enough power to work it all the way around the track. It used to be a game of "how much momentum can you conserve". Now it's just simply "How fast can you go?"
