Couple laps at Road Atlanta with NASA-SE in TTD: http://vimeo.com/8046219

... and a few pics of my car. All are by Travis Rhoads (L8APEX) except the one of the cars lined up on grid.











Do you think I might have gotten passed this session?



Mike Skeen driving my car and giving me some excellent instruction.

Thanks! Travis (L8APEX) is a very good photographer and I'm always amazed at the angles he finds to shoot. Thanks for mentioning him. I went back to my OP and gave him credit.

I love me some track at any location but Road Atlanta is special.

Zelse, Team made a thread on his STX plans for 2010, but deleted it only a few days after. Not sure why.

Yeah, the photographer did a great job battling the elements that day. I love seeing pictures of cars on wet tracks with water spray all over the place. Of course driving in the stuff is a lot of fun too!

Sweet pics! Any reason in particular you will no longer bring the 8 to the track?

George, what are you doing with your black RPF1's? Are you taking them to the FD? You know you are going to get those lime green ones you track ho. :D

The black 18's are going on the FD because they will clear the Stoptechs. The 17" Goldies have to go because they won't fit over the brakes. I have to see if the wheels that come with the car will clear the Stoptechs, I may just limit myself to having 1 set of RPF1's But the lime green ones sure are tempting

Did it have to do with internet brands?

Not at all. What makes you think I have any beef with them?
