A rough sketch of the track I will be running. Finally a couple of my friends are going! EK Civic, RSX, Sunfire, and of course.. the usual me (celica), my brother -MRS, and Corolla

The Corolla, Sunfire, and Civic will all be in the same class (STS)
Me.. as usual.. the same class as them Cooper S

Im building a in car camera mount right now. Hopefully I will have an in car and another video from the outside.

Its going to really hot. And theres thought of running nitrogen in my tires (they stay more constant with pressure) I just have to see till then

umm.... the experience will not likely be the same... but a good driver is a good driver and within the first few sections they can figure out what a car can and cannot do. plus at driving schools instructors typically will not drive someone else's car over 70-75% of their ability... the difference for them may be 25-30% of their potential.... but to you it will be like 150% of what you thought the car could do.

what type of school is it? evolution?


I was at the A-section kettering firebirds event today.

details:
1. forcast showed thundershowers all day, it ended up basically misting the entire time so it was constantly damp with a few random puddles (or lakes) from the T-showers the night before.
2. i drove my buddy's STX WRX most of the day today as well as my mr2 on ****ty old AS04 hoosiers (basically dry rotted... imagine playing football or soccer at 7:30AM with dew all over the field in a pair of adidas sambas)
3. I need a new car... holy hell STX prepped WRXs are soooo fun to drive... even if his isnt quite dialed in enough yet.
4. I ended up 2nd fastest Raw... which is basically second fastest any way you look at it. i was slightly slower in the WRX than i was in my car... about 3 tenths, the owner of the WRX beat me in our friends super-prepped STS 2.5RS. the difference is the 2.5RS can turn, the wrx not so much
5. highlights of cars that brad and i beat RAW time were: 400 HP 1st gen DSM (he was third fastest and was running ****ty tires as well), highspeed kart (one of the laying down ones, it was geared all wrong for the event), the entire A-section Formula SAE team (lmfao... they suck at driving), and a turbo civic hatchback that looked pretty sorted for SM class.

no video or pictures, basically just a knock around event, i felt i needed to run a different vehicle than my own to get out of some bad habits i was getting into.
