Got out to Shenandoah this past weekend for some long overdue track time.  Between injuring my hand last year and Covid-pocalypse this year its been about a year since I originally bought the car.


The plan was to go out and take it easy for a weekend to ease back into things and not get in over my head too soon.  Naturally,  that plan didnt last long and after about a session and a half I started sending it.  Like riding a bike,  I guess?

The car did great,  never missed a beat.   Stock tires did what stock tires do,  and while I didnt mind the lower grip,  the overheating and inconsistency after 2 laps will likely lead me to put better tires on before next event.    

On to the pix:

Always take advantage of the skidpad when available!


My car and a buddy's sweet M3.  That car rips.

Prior to the event,  I tossed in this Sparco to keep my helmet from hitting the roof.  It may look familiar,  I got it from Ginger,  he got it from DJ, and who knows how many people had it before him.   I also have Jakes old Momo seat that I may try next. Side note: PCI Seat mounts are awesome.



Had an interesting mix of cars at the event,  Ariel Atom,  4 Kia Stingers (Kia Stinger fanclub trackday?) ,  a Tesla Model 3,  a Radical, a couple showcar GTRs,  but the highlight was an amazing Lancia Stratos.






Its a handbuilt replica,  and the level of detail is amazing.
The period correct interior especially blew me away.   Look at those analog stopwatches!






Cant wait for the next one!
