PIR Track Day Pics

Hey guys,

Just go my pic of me at PIR back in december with the audi club. Though you might like so see them. The first five laps of the morning session was dry, but the rest of the time it was raining.

Looking slooooooooooooow Is that the same day that a Porsche went into the wall ? Apex was telling me that the track was getting ugly . Got some Yokohama's put on and my new springs will be on by next track day ! Can't wait to see when they come out with a new schedule. been hearing they might be doing some work on turn 12 (widening it) but that's not confirmed . take it easy man .oh btw I found a new road out in Eastern Oregon ..............

What is the going rate for track days at PIR? I know different clubs charge different amounts, just trying to compare against Seattles, 175-225. Car looks good.

Ya, 125-175 single day.

No, the Porsche crash was the alfa day. The guy crashed right in front of me that day. Luckily I saw it coming and slowed down before I got collected in that crash.

The first five laps that day were at a pretty good pace, but ya slooooooow the rest. This guy in a GTO was trying to catch me to no avail that day.

Apex missed my sick *** drift on turn twelve that day. He had to change a diaper on his son.

That diaper was smelly as **** too!! Good god. I missed the "small" drift, but heard about it when I got back up in the tower..Had I not changed him, the faces on those folks would have changed color!! My car should be up and going pretty soon. Finally working out the ECU concern and hope to get out on a dry day soon. Space..wait until you see the car now. For those of you that don't know, I have a S5 n/a that I swapped a new Pineapple ported TII motor/Trans and diff into. 3" Corksport exhaust also. Moto and I are going to fab a V mount soon and one day..one day I may keep up with him on the straights at PIR. Check that..Moto and I have never been on the track at the same time!! Ok..this season it's on baby...oh yeah and Space..we'll see you in the pits after the session!!

Hell Apex if I come in before you after a session it's because I had to take a **** .If my wife would be as nice as yours and let me spend all of the money\time that you have I might be able to keep up with you. CAN'T WAIT FOR A RIDE IN YOUR CAR SO GET IT DONE YOU SLOW *** . ha ha .oh BTW have you talked to Eddie in awhile? He says he has a secret weapon that is going to be leaving you and Dave crying as he passes you guys up . Not sure what it is but by the sounds of it he has put a couple of more squirrels under the hood in that civic of his.

I thought gerbals was the technical word for that?

You call a 90+ mph drift around 12 small!! Granted it wasn't a lot of slip angle, but it was high speed. If you think you can do better then bring it bitch.

Apex, I'm gonna need your Rabbit this weekend while I put the semi new turbos on and fab up some block off plates at my works shop. You missd a good time at Sykart last night. Did a 29.652 and averaged 29.9.

Yeah, it was a great time let me tell you. I climbed into bed at 3 and was up at 7...Hey..the night before last I went to bed at...hmmm oh yeah 3 also, and up at 7. I need sleep. The shop will look so good though. Just in time for the Christmas party. Spyder never made it by either. Hope to get that ECU and fire the car up before the rain comes back. Space...I promise to keep it under 1/4 throttle so that you can keep up! HAHAHAHAHAH
