I wanted an instructor to ride with me today. There was a gentlemen Matt was talking to that I had asked to ride with me. He cordially declined. I wouldn't like to get into a car with a complete stranger with no RR experience. Anyhow, next time I won't be so newbish.
To stay on topic, Nice pics Ben.
Thanks man. I agree I'm looking forward to the next track day so I can improve.

nice shots homie.. i see you gettin you panning shots on..
i was officially hooked today.
never taken my car to a road course before, but after today i cant wait to get back. i went with fawk_you(na miata), ron(sr20 silvia) and ryan, owner of ccr. these two really helped to teach me how to drive my car on a course like this. i still have a ton to learn, but after the 3rd session i felt confident behind the wheel and really wanted to push the car. it was an amazing experience and i highly reccomend it to anyone.
i do feel bad for my bank account though, as this new addiction isnt going to help.

Awesome pic's. Looks like a real good time.

Nice pics. 105.4 is moving, although you should go back with a hot lap to really get an accurate time! IIRC a friend of mine was doing 1:06's in his 996 Turbo with around 500 hp and R comps compared to my 1:08's-1:09's. Hopefully my car is faster now with the changes but I haven't been back.
It's a shame no one was doing any official timing. I hear it was done randomly by stop watches...ehh not very accurate.
sure if they had the timing equipment to turn on and every body had transponders.
-IA MGMT is inappropriate.
Thought this thread was about pics.... I only see a few and then a lot of bickering.
Matt kindly gave me his spot in the event since I hadn't pre registered. In return we were going to split up the track time. I did two sessions and he did two sessions, just turned out his second sessions was the timed event. Everyone talking about hired drivers is just funny... anyone ever heard of sandbagging? We do it all the time in the Redline series, you just can't put it all out on the table till the last session.
I thought it was a great event and very well organized. While the timing was less than ideal for a pro event, we have to remember that this was all for fun. And that everyone was being timed the same way so the margin for error was the same across all competitors.
Hopefully sometime in Spring we (TopSpeed) will put on a Time Attack event for the local crowd. But with less people and more track time.

Are you on the TopSpeed Powerclub???

^Yes.
...and for those complaining. If you lose you lose.
I'm still trying to figure out why these people give a shit. The point in the day was to go out and beat on your car and have fun.
That is why I stopped taking pictures. I need to clean it bad.

Although your car is quick, I had to disagree that your time is accurate. How could you possibly be ~3-4 secs faster then the rest of the group? I would believe your time if the people that were actually suppose to be timing did their job properly.
When I was sitting in the box trying to warm up, I over-heard two gentlemen over the radios indicating that only the black 350z and the blue 350z be timed as it "appears" that they are running the fastest of that session.
Don't take this as an insult, I'm only giving you my view on yesterday's event.
Good driver, good car, sounds like lots of drivers were new.
lol that would be me. I'm a noob but still had a blast.
Mainstream Performance
The drivers in the 1.08-1.09 time frames were not your "novice" drivers. The black 350z and the krypton green Exige S were both running strong.
The merc was at 1:09, I believe.
Learning everyday.
LOL I love this, would you like full disclosure on why my last session was faster because I can give you the full break down.
1. Thats not my car
2. My first session in that car was the first time I have ever driven an 08 STI
3. I probably have between 20 and 30 days on little tally.
4. I adjusted my driving style and line to suit the problems that the car had ( I altered my line to prevent the inside wheel spin that we were having because of the suspension setup and massive grip the car has)
5. Before I went out for that session Doug said..."Its a lot more fun to win"
6. I'm that good
7. The car will go 1:04.9 with the exact setup thats on there I just need more time in the car.
Hugs and Kisses
Matt
P.S. Topspeeds Racecar goes 57 seconds around that track.
Edit...My second fastest lap was good enough to win the event
I also wanted to say that everyone in the final 7 drove very well, I think everyone dropped their time over their last session. Big props to the LS1 Miata driver he didn't have much tire and its hard to put down that kind of power without some skill.
So you guys know how lucky you are its pretty rare to see that many cars at an event go sub 1:08, I don't think I've ever seen more than two or three.
i was mith matt in the white e36, and our fastest were in the 8's but the timing was messed up and they only recorded one of his laps for the whole day, and it was his very first lap which was a 1:14 lol.
there was a ton of fast ass cars there, the green exige was hauling ass. im still amazed by the black series that was there. that guy drove the dick out of that car lol.

Good stuff Ben.
Someone appears to be a little cocky I see. I was only pointing out that I don't believe the times to be correct for anyone.
The times were equally off for everyone if they were off.
Cocky, not really cocky just good
Jason has asked that everyone email the pictures they have to him so he can put them up on the website, he doesn't have access to the forum right now.
Email is [email protected]
He said he will post times as soon as he gets a chance, they were at the track very late last night. I think he said it looks like they pulled in over 500 toys...thats a good haul guys.
that is awesome.

where is the honda>
With the selection of cars that were there I doubt anyone took pictures of my hatch lolol. Even if I drove the tsx it still wouldn't have compared to the nice cars. Chad said he got a few and said he will post them up in a couple of days.

Awesome pic's looks like everyone had fun.
LOL troof. you were ripping it up. i honestly hate the new STI's but i couldnt not deny the badass-ness of that STI
i got'em
