Street/track built for hauling all over NA to see the sites, drive the tracks, got to meets, share the fun
MMP Oct 2014, trailer ramp, tie downs and other mods to carry weight of the car.
A bit of maintenance between runs, that trailer will be our home soon.
Just before I passed that Mustang, I was pulling on him hard out of the turn onto the 7/8 mile front straight, it said GT on the back, maybe he was a slow driver!
The only two cars that passed me after 25 minutes on track, they have half a lap lead, 3.2 mile outer loop and very fast layout, the Vette was a race car as well, just plain on the outside, the Audio was a $$$$$$$$$$ race car.
Coming in after those two cars, only one other car passed me like they did, the NASA ST1 National Championship winner when he was out with the R8.
First track outing, 8 months of work, just broken in, not fully tuned on the Cyborg turbo, only problem was I lost 2PSI in one tire, that was it, cannot ask for a more perfect shake down of a highly modded car.
Next time out, BIG turbo power and more go fast and cooling tweaks and later more rubber on the ground
I even passed that Boxter race car, every session if I started behind him, and all the BRZ's, several other race cars, 5 seconds a lap fast than the national champ Spec Miata record.
I just had to park next to this fire breathing incredibly restored real CanAm monster, if not familiar look them up, insanely fast and dangerous cars.
DIY radiator, shroud, and real CAI intake installed.
