I went to the track this weekend and figure i'd share some pictures. This is a non-race event. It is un-timed and open classed. Basically, it's about seat time on the track with your car. They have instructors on-hand if you want tips or instructions.
My car is nothing to special, just a '92 ST185. I bought it last year from a kid who blew the headgasket and broke the radiator. It was also setup with a bunch of random parts. It took quite a bit of time and money to get it road-worthy and I figured I'd enjoy it a bit.
Unfortunately, I didn't get my hands on a Go-Pro so no track videos.
== edit: i did end up getting videos from the second event. scroll to bottom of this first post ==
Raising the suspension a 1/4" because it was rubbing in the corners and dips.
two videos of the track (from different cars) - i didn't have a go-pro so nothing with my car.

videos from Aug 23rd event. I took both my MR2 and Alltrac, because I've never driven the MR2 hard. It had bald rear tires and was pretty difficult to keep the rear planted around the tight corners, especially after people start kicking up dirt and debris. I managed to only lose control and spin out twice. :smokes:

Took the Alltrac back out. I still need to raise the front a bit higher. It's rubbing the plastic underliner on hard bumps. Probably another 1/4" to 1/2" would do. Before the event, I installed an HKS BOV and colder plugs but for some reason it felt like it was leaking massive boost. I ended up taking the BOV off but it's still leaking boost somewhere...
