My wife and I will be heading there with the PCA Aug 6 and 7.

Pics from Gingerman on stock suspension and Advans. Sorry the pics are crap but I had to zoom in a lot. Any one else having their front wheel just about come off the ground during corner exit? I wish I had a picture of my outside rear wheel during corner exit because I get the feeling it's bottomed out. It's time for something better.
First picture is exit of turn 1.
2nd picture is exit of turn 2.

My wife and I will be heading there with the PCA Aug 6 and 7.I think I actually preferred running it backwards, althought the first lap backwards was a little freaky when you are running through what would be the turn 4 and 5 sweepers into turn 3 and you see how big that tree really is.

I would have caught him in one of my sessions, but a civic crossed the blending line early coming out of the pits and I had to shut down so he got away. He ended up cording his left front so his day ended a little early, but he had a blast.
I baked my brakes. I stayed out for about 40 minutes at one point and the brakes were working great until they just got too hot (no fade from the Cobalt pads). I pulled into the pits and Perry asked me why I painted my calipers brown. I was like "I didn't, they just got really hot". On one of my friends Sti's the Brembos turned orange.
I waited about an hour, and they worked fine again after they cooled.
