The track when we first got there at 1030 this morning. This is what we ran on all day until it melted in the afternoon.

This was the first elimination pass, which I'd been running in the 20s all day with 4.x and 5.1 60' times in 4WD. I tried to brake near the end of this run knowing I had better traction, but the other guy broke out slower than me by 3/10.

laughing @ the kid in the video!

 

"Where gonna beat that guy!"

[prettyprix]

I'll probably have some pictures to put up soon, I wish i have a video of my friend in the miata.

[MrMeanGreen]

lawl Tina lost to a ranger? were there any other non-trucks there?

 

She lost because he went slower than her, although they both broke out. There was a TON of non-truck vehicles there. I saw a GTP, SRT-4, some 50s-60s cars. the turbo Miata, F-Bodies, etc. They had two classes for the race, Awd/4WD and 2WD. There were four lines in the staging lanes for the 2WD class versus the two lines for AWD/4WD.

My six and eight year old. They love track days.

Scott and I were cracking up at that car when he made his first pass. Traction escaped the Miata

Ha, does my heart good to see my old truck ripping up the snowy track.

You can't touch me

[Ryan218]

ah hell i would of know this was going on i would of brought the danger ranger out!!

[GonneVille]

Damn, wish I'd realized how many of you showed up! I saw Anthony, ran against him on my second run(big white crew cab Ford)but never had a chance to catch up to him again. I was out with my buddy Peter(petraman).

Our fourth run, Peter driving, 2WD...I'm not sure he's ever driven RWD on anything other than dry road before.

BTW, did anybody else give the timing booth guy a heart attack? That big sheet of ice in front of it made my rear end slide over towards it every time I pulled away...lulz.

[MrMeanGreen]

Yeah, my ABS went nuts the first time to the shack. I knew better afterwards and started braking way earlier
