Video was also taken yesterday with my GoPro camera and Bazooka's DSLR. Should be very interesting.

Photoshoot Video

Here is a short clip of all the shenanigans from the photoshoot yesterday:

Shenandoah Track Day

On May 14th I drove to Summit Point in West Virginia and raced with TrackDaze. The Shenandoah circuit is freaking awesome. There elevation changes on this 2.2mi course is a blast. However, the first session was while it was raining; which was treacherous.

Session 2 was on a damp track.

Session 3 was on a dry track.

Session 4 was on a hot track.

Here are some pictures from the event:

Throughout the four sessions I managed to get point by's from a Nissan GTR, BMW 335i, BMW 135i, Nissan 370z, a handful of miatas, and a Mustang GT.

Racing Beat Exhaust Pieces

Last year I decided to replace my factory header and ExoticSpeed Race Pipe with some Racing Beat hardware. Definitely was a good call. Noticeable increase of mid-range torque.

The header install was not pleasant...at all. Here is a link from Racing Beat's site to the install guide.

Here is a edited HD video of this exhaust setup: 

After a year or so using this setup, I have almost burned through all of the packing in the Racing Beat resonators. They are now rattling and loose. I hope to upgrade to BHR's metal resonated mid pipe soon.
