Here are some pics from Mid-Ohio this weekend. I wish I had taken more and better ones, but I never feel like taking the time when I'm driving at the track. Awesome weekend though. I had some brake issues and a bit of brain fade, but I let my car sit out a session and took my dad's race kaa out. I really want a powerful RWD car with a chassis that good. S2k would be close ish.....

This is our old car. I learned how to drive "fast" in this. I miss it!

I <3 teh PCA events.

So how was it in the rain? What kind of brain fade did you have fool? Oh, and how was the S in the rain. Also, what rules for driving the S at a PCA event? Seems like top up was ok, what about roll over protection?

Oh no, I had a freakin great time. I didn't really sleep at all friday or sat night though so I was extremely tired last night when I posted and fell asleep shortly thereafter.

brain fade was that after changing rotors and pads ( warped first set) at the track I got distracted and forgot to re torque my front lug nuts. I took it out on the street for a test drive and as I got back I got this horribly cyclical noise that pointed to a CV joint failure. Being so cold and that we were worried about havig time to change and axle in a parking lot somewhere we hurried to autozone to diagnose the problem there and be able to buy whatever we needed. Got all the way there before I realized I didn't torque them and after I did, everything was perfect again.

oh yeah.....some PCA regions may differ, but of the 4-5 I've run with all convertables require a rollbar and/or hardtop. Also, I think if you drive with the top down armrestraints might be required.....not sure on that though.

Hrm. There was an S at the last PCA event I went to. Hopefully he'll also be at the next and I can ask him about it. I plan on taking the S with me so that on the "parade" laps I can tool around in it.

NICE! Glad nothing was damaged due to Lug-gate.

Looks like a blast! Any pics of you on track with the LSR or 944?

Unfortunately no pics of me on track. This was my second time driving the 944.That thing is so freakin perfect. I kept up with these twoextremely fast 996 GT3s for about 6 laps or so, but then they got away in traffic.

Those pics are awesome. Looked like an average track day in Washington State.
