Sorry S2K, we ran 1:44's
Look like the Geek Subi blew a motor. It was parked in the paddock area with kitty litter underneath it.

How did it go for you?

I was LOST the first session, 2nd session I figured out the line, 3rd session I put the race tires on and finally started to feel smoother.

Afternoon was sweet. The track had less cars on it and I was feeling ok with driving the line. Can't wait to go back on some real suspension - I was getting my body roll on.

Wish we could of stayed for Sunday too! Got some video of our EVO lapping with that silver spec car in your third picture Kodiak. That blue Z06 Vette, 7FOOTER, took some footage of our car. Very nice guy! He came over after a session becaue he couldn't figure out why he couldn't catch us. Funny story, my driver let him pass to see what his racing line was. 7FOOTER was kind of miffed we let him pass intensionally! The he was really miffed when he couldn't lose us on the strights! He also has some video of us from behind. He's going to burn it on a DVD so we can't post it as soon as we get it. It was nice to meet some of you Saturday. Too bad there weren't more Subi's.

I was so nervous @ first I was shaking after the first session, ask Jake. By the 4th session my instructor told me I was doing a real good job and then was cleared to drive by myself. I followed Jake for a while and he followed me that was cool, he is much faster then me. Then my day was do when I got back my front right tire was leaking from something I ran over, can be repaired. One thing that really helped was when Mike took me out in Jakes car. He showed me what an Evo can do and it helped me trust my car more.

Cool, Mike is a pretty helpful guy when he's not causing trouble on the intraweb.

No, never, must be faster... must be able to keep up with faster cars in the straight...

Anyway Jared 1:47 * 2 = 3:44 plus or minus a few seconds of course since it is a bad way to estimate the full time you'd get on the track. And compare it to times you already know

That's the universal sign for "ROCK ON", I know you're kinda old to understand these pop culture things. "ROCK ON" is more powerful than sacrament blessing, and adds 3 seconds worth of driving skill.
