Evolution: From Track Day to AutoX Setup

Over the years I've acquired and installed several parts that stiffened the suspension, chassis of the car in the pursuit of traction and higher cornering speed...

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.

Redline Time Attack

April 2010 I hit New Jersey Motorsports Park with Redline Time Attack. It was there last track event on the East Coast.

My best lap on my first motor was 1:27:1xx and I placed 4th over all in my class that Saturday. I DNR the next day thanks to a massive pot hole on a PA highway...in short my brake caliper shot off the car. Here are the pictures from that Saturday:

All in all it was a complete blast and was really worth it.
