Track pictures

Went out to the track this weekend, and for once I got pictures because a friend of mind who enjoys taking pics came out to do just that Day started off not too good until session 4 and 5 came around, so me and some instructors decided to have a battle royale. First battle was between me and corvette z06 that were pretty much dead even although we switched places to see if one or the other could get away, but our gaps remained the same . Next session was a battle between me, a Porsche GT3, and a Lotus Exige. The Exige led first, but me and the Porsche kept up fairly easily. Next up was the GT3 leading, then me, and then the Exige, with me and the Porsche pulling away slowly but surely from the Exige. Afterwards it was my turn to lead (PRESSURES ON). I knew that was bad idea because I was on street tires that weren't too happy after chasing both cars, but nonetheless I was able to slowly pull away from both (We went a full 25 min session chasing each other). If I had another two laps or so, I believe I could have gotten a fairly large gap going. For those wondering, the Porsche was running pretty fresh Michelin pilot sport cups, and the Lotus was running Yokohama A048 r-comps, while I was still running my Federal 595rsr street tires with Megan Racing coilovers.......The end

Stay tuned for video because the Porsche and Lotus both recorded the whole battle!!!

Wow so you were handling some pretty serious track oriented cars with what many would consider sub-standard coilovers and rubber that would be considered inferior.

That is ****IN awesome. LOL. Looked like a good time.

So far they're one of my favorite street tires. I really liked the bridgestones re01rs I had as well, but they're discontinued now

Man you make me feel like i'm a pro or something My goal was to show people that you don't need ohlin's, moton's, and kw's to be fast at the track. Yes, I know could be faster, but I wanted to push the limits of myself, the suspension, and tires to show what people can really do with them.

White guy? The owner of the Porsche was very cool, he ended up lapping the fastest time of the day on his other set of wheels that had Hoosier R6's on them His time was a 1:25.680 and mine was 1:25.700
