Pitts not too far from my parents residence in OH.
Steak sandwich with coleslaw and french fries on it. Yes, you must get said sandwich before you die. Though depending on where at in OH, there is one north of Pittsburgh in Cranberry Township.
different ones but the main feature is it's served on fresh italian bread with
coleslaw and fries on top of the sandwich. It sounds intimidating at first
but it goes together in perfect harmony.

Went to Pittsburgh raceway today, saw a sick *** evo 8 or 9 that was running 11's all day. I think hes in here. 2 other evo's where there 2 a black and another silver. silver ones where really quick.
sweet jesus guys. i don't even know where to begin. the time trial today at the north track was EASILY the most fun i have ever had in that car. it's so much easier than i thought it would be, our cars really are made to live on a road course.
it was a little intimidating at first, being that i had no instructor, and about a 5 minute driver's meeting in morning. many thanks to jeremy for letting me follow him the first lap to see the line, then summarily leaving me in his dust! solid 1:04's, that is impressive man. i would love to see you run the hoosiers there.
the best i was able to manage today was a 1:11.60. which i am told isn't too bad for my first time ever on that track (or any real track for that matter). i even got to pass someone in the first morning session.
needless to say my brembos are now brownbos, the badge of honor in some ways.
i did have one scary moment today on my very first lap. i came in to turn 1 way too hot, dropped my wheels off, then the car rotated and shot back into the grass on the side of turn two. luckily i was able to get it under control pretty quickly and get back on the tarmac. no grass was harmed too badly during that incident.
i'm really just enamored with the whole experience. near 20 minute long sessions feel like an absolute eternity. i had more seat time in by noon than i have in the last three seasons of autocross events combined. absolutely mind bending fun finally letting the stretch her legs.
