Man that totally sucks jon... but like you said could have been worse good luck finding good cheap parts to fix that stuff with

Also thanks Tyler for all the pics I appriciate that. Look forward to seeing everyone again this coming weekend at Red Robin.

 

Hey guys,

I finally put my pics up. They aren't wonderful but they sort of chronicle the night

EDIT: Of course the camera is at fault, not the picture taker


[~~ PICS ~~]


(56K Beware)

 

Hehe I didn't think it prudent to ride your tail in case something :cough: were to happen :cough: and for some reason I think my passenger seat would have started screaming sooner than my tires But I was really impressed with your Lancer as well as the others, especially in those conditions.

I also know the feeling of watching a certain red high-performance car disappear from my view. At PIR there was a red suped up Corvette ZR-1 behind me with V700 (R compound) tires, and me with my lowly 4 banger and street tires. By the end of the session he was nowhere to be found Back in the pit area the guy came up to my car, looked at my tires, looked at me in disbelief, shook his head and just said "fast car" and walked away lol. I guess he expected to see some Hoosiers or something hehe.

Anyway, good times guys that was an interesting night that I'll not soon forget.

those are some really good pics machron, thanks, and tell your girlfreind thanks for hanging with us, and taking them. she seems super nice, my wife wouldve gotten sick on that last stretch of road for sure. hell i almost did.

 

oh come on you pansy, that road was nuthin, daylight and dry pavement make it much much better but seriously, we gotta go back in good conditions

 

why wait, i am down for more shizzy driving weather. i think it was a combo, of the slow going, and headlights in my face that made me feel a little bit queasy. no problem though. i'd do it again in a heartbeat. i may do it by myslef, that is a great road.

 

Machron, pics turned out great, good group photo, thanks for posting. We will have to do this again, during the day, hopefully a nice day, lol.

 

Thanks I'll communicate your appreciation to her as she took 100% of the pictures. She loved your food by the way, and so did I. That bread was to die for, and the smoked ham & pineapple pizza, and pesto And here I was thinking Seaside had nothing but tourist trap food!

About the driving, she gets a headache if i really rip on it, but that night she was fine. Actually she commented to me more than once that we were going kinda slow, but of course you have to in pouring rain when it's pitch black, going around blind corners you've never been down with crazy drunk people doing doughnuts in pickup trucks and deer prancing down the road, and of course the occasional avoiding of vehicles that had an off trying to keep the Oregon critters out of their grill (good luck on those repairs ghostrider! darn varmints!).
EDIT: It was plenty quick for me! lol.

 

Thanks for your pics too, I liked the inside shots. I think the content of the pics I posted were good, just my camera is cheap and old. If you shake even a little it looks like a double exposure, and it can't handle dim lighting very well.

I think it would be cool if we could all plan far ahead and attend a track day next season, or even an auto-x or hillclimb. I'm all done for this year, but next season I plan on going as soon as possible. I'll probably start out with another Cascade school, which I highly recommend to anyone who likes driving. Only $150 for in-class instruction @ PCC, and four 20-minute sessions with an instructor. It's a blast and really informative. Porsche club has good instructors too, as well as BMW club, but Cascade is probably the best instruction you can get for the money.

 

Looks like you guys had some fun!

Team Continental also puts on a great drivers training course and has some good instructors as well. Lots of options out there:-)
