great video im glad their was no music added in. just the cars

 

Who was the senior citizen leading that group? "Let's get the lead out!" should have been the title. By the way, I think your G-tech was a little off.

 

It is a busy public street so I am sure he was just being careful.

 

I was, and I was leading our group on it's first pass, that I drive with all the time, of about 17 cars through there where over half of them had never seen the Dragon before much less a road like that. At that pace we had gotten way to far ahead. I pulled off and let those 3 pass me so I could let the others catch up. The next car had never driven the dragon and her car was not up to the "slow" speed we were going up front and I deemed it not safe. Next time you're more than welcome to try and chase me if you like. I spent the rest of the afternoon into the evening either tailgating people at 70mph or getting crotch rockets to pull over so I could go even faster.

I know, Turbo II. I'm just giving you a hard time. Thanks for the directions and concern on if I made it home alright. I did. Everyone was great and so nice to meet everyone. I'll try to get my vid up soon.

That and leading that same group back was the only time.

Yeah I was carefull, but after that it was lead, follow or get out of the way.

I think it was a good speed. I had only done one run on it prior to that, and although I was traveling faster, I was not being safe, and my back end saw its way across the center line on many corners. (this was when it was still soaked) It kinda scared me, and I was nervous pulling out with the "convoy" that I would push my car too hard, but as we began to travel I realized it was a much safer speed, yet not too slow. I noticed the roads began to clear up while I was getting my second run, and before we left back (in our split up groups) I was much more confident in pushing my car. It turned out to be dry enough to push my car at least 50% harder without worrying about my front/rear end losing traction. I think it was a very good pace for the people that were new to the gap, but it is very possible that you guys are more confident in your car in the wet than I am

 

Sorry man, no problem. Get that car back down here next year and we'll have some fun. I'm just a little tweaked over a comment made by someone else about another member still and maybe a little trigger happy. Glad you guys made it back safely.

BTW, its not that I can't control my car haha- its just that when you are sliding 40% of the time you are driving, something bad is bound to happen lol

 

I got two words for you TO YO tires, ok maybe it was 3 words! Thier the T1Rs or whatever the new model is and had about 2k on them before the weekend. Yeah those tires are great in wet and I swear I tried several times to get that puppy sideways or break the rear end loose later that day but with the new suspension she just stayed stuck to the road. Not complaining but geeze, just a little fun is all I want before I die!

Greg

 

I had the T1-S on my car and I love them.. Great video.. I'm still trying to watch it.

 

Phil, we took a vid yesterday of me chasing one of our RX-8 members through there running pretty damn hard. The play by play audio of me and Rebecca who was holding the camera is funny as hell. We did a handheld run so we could get a more realistic feel and view of him as I chased him. She did a hell of a job being tossed around the way she was!!! We'll get it put up somewhere asap.

Yeah I'm real pleased with those tires. Grip is fantastic wet or dry and this was the weekend for it!

Greg

 

you're my favorite.

by the way, y'all... greg is NOT a Senior Citizen! He's a bigger kid than our youngest members.

 

Hmm, I couldn't find either of those in 195/60/14, however originally I was planning on buying these. A Datsun friend of mine told me he liked them a lot. What do you guys think?

The one time there's a camera and a mess it up. never again. let me do over.

 

I'm dizzy now, but that was kinda cool.

 

Jon, we'll have plenty of time for you to mess up..err...get it right.

 

Who had the red Dakota R/T that was taking video? Anybody know?
