First track day 2011

Cayuga aka Toronto Motorsports Park here in Canada. It's been a LONG winter and I was glad to get out. There was still a bit of snow from a snow drift along the long straight which made it wet.

I took the TC off for the second set of laps and learned very quickly that my tires didn't dry in the two seconds of dry pavement before the turn.

Best part of the day was chasing around a Lexus sedan. I think the term "drive it like you stole it" sums up his style. Tires screeching around every corner, the body roll was tremendous. He ended up in the grass. If I needed a getaway driver, I would hire him in a heartbeat.

There were two race prepped cars there, a BMW with a good sized wing a what appeared to be a Subaru.

A guy showed up with his red 944 and got some instruction. He was fun to chase around too.

The only changes from last season (when I bought the car) was the addition of HPS pads, which gave a bit more initial bite.
