Pics from the track day last Friday.

 

You are looking good out there knee dragger...You see in that last pix how it seems that you are peering in to the distance? You will be doing that again come the 30th when you are looking for me!! And smart ***, no it won't be you looking for me to lap me or something!! Makes me want to get a bike and go out there..it's just like a dirtbike right?!

 

lfmao, no not like a dirt bike, different riding style entirely, unless you get the rearend out and keep it there. But thats not likely, there only like 50 guys in the whole world that can do that at high speeds intentionally. Most of them race in MotoGP, where the bikes put out 250+ hp and they have to have traction control to even exit the corner at open throttle. Just think of my bike with 100hp more and 40 pound less weight and a rider that weighs as much as my left nut.

We'll just have wait and see what the outcome will be.

Does my bike make me look fat? lol, j/k, I though I would look bigger on the bike when my picture would be taken, but we fit each other well don't we.

 

On that last picture I was thinking, "Don't hit the Concrete patch! Don't hit the concrete patch!". The track was still wet then, man that was interesting, the bike when into a shimmy shimmy. The front would slip then the rear would follow every 20 ft or so. Keeps you on your toes that's for sure. I had a big moment when I came up to a fine *** women rider on a ducati 998, lost my concentration and the rearend stepped out on by a foot and 1/2. Women are going to be the death of me someday I know it.

 

Bump...So is anyone else going?

 

i have an alfa and a 7

which one do i bring?

 

Whichever is faster and more stable in the wet. It's supposed to rain Friday.
Hope that's not the case, but I going to do it rain or shine.

 

I will be there (already paid).

Look for a Blk FD with red #71 on the door.

1st time at PDX, looking forward to trying out the track.

Hopefully we'll get some dry track time.

I wouldn't mind a wet morning to focus on lines & learn the track.

Then a dry afternoon to get a feel for it at speed.

 

Nice see you guys tomorrow.

 

Plenty of wet weather practice................................

It never stopped raining all day!

It seamed to get worse when my run group went out. By the afternoon the standing water in the pits was over a foot deep in spots.

I had a great time & will checkout next years events. It was my 1st time on the track. So I wasn't that conceered for my speed as much.

On a side note...............A guy driving a 944 Turbo had a bad day. His car is about 4 inches shorter. All from the front

I got to ride along in a 04 M3 & 350Z Nissmo. Both were in the advanced driver group. Even in the wet those guys can haul ***.

 

Pix Pix Pix!!!!

 

The guy in the 944 crashed in front of me trying to pass on the back straight away going too fast for the conditions. He applied too much throttle at the porsche bump, his rearend stepped out and into the wall he went. I saw it coming so I was able to brake soon enough to where he didn't collect me too. Another guy in a boxster went off on 8 and did some damage to his rear bumper too.

Interesting day so say the least, but I wished it had cleared up like it did Saturday. That figures.

Nice FD Sled, that's how I want mine looking externally someday.

 

There a cascade event on the 14-15 of this month, I might go to that one.
