August 14-15th, 2010
NASA-GL, Mid-Ohio


All in all this was a really tough weekend for me. I had an unbelievable amount of trouble just getting to the event (I may or may not recap) but with the help of friends I persevered. This was a fantastic track and I am so very glad I was able to track there. The track itself is very challenging, but very fun. It was truly an opportunity to get out there on such a prestigious track.


Shots will be in chronological order...

No, that was the pure nastiness of the car. This is the event that has made me want to convert the car to a 98' front end.

I requested 208 and got 208. :P

The vinyl would have kept brake dust from sticking to the blue tape and rusting. :sigh:

You didn't catch the "I requested the numbers 3 and 5" reference

It's a good thing you're not coming to vir friday, I saw two guys fighting over who gets 208 on the trackdaze forum. Is there significance to that number that I don't realize?

Oh I caught it. :P

No significance to 208. It was my E10 number so I just ran with it.

Yeah I definitely planned on getting at least a couple since he took the time to arrange the integra squadron gallery :)

Erik, do you have the hardparker shot that has the tighter framing in high res still?

I'd have to look at my own shot I have of the 5 cars, but if I recall correctly I liked yours much more.
