Das Borgen Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Saturday was great. Weather held up and gave me dry track for all 4 sessions. I would have liked to do at least one in the wet but I was not so lucky . By my 2nd session, my instructor wanted to move me up to one run group faster than the slowest. I do need to work on my heel-toe technique but aside from that, I felt that my skills were really improving lap by lap Sunday More of the same with the faster run group. I had one session with a 996 Turbo and an STI where we were playing lead-follow and looking at each others' lines. It was a great learning experience overall anyway, I won t stay too long-winded some pics pitting in http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lovelljc/MidO/NORPCA_Sept010/images/DSC01103.jpg chasing a Boxster http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lovelljc/MidO/NORPCA_Sept010/images/DSC01090.jpg before the last session http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lovelljc/MidO/NORPCA_Sept010/images/DSC01479.jpg It was a great weekend to hit the track some other cars http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lovelljc/MidO/NORPCA_Sept010/images/DSC01342.jpg http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lovelljc/MidO/NORPCA_Sept010/images/DSC01348.jpg http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lovelljc/MidO/NORPCA_Sept010/images/DSC01160.jpg this dude was so quick he was replacing front pads every OTHER SESSION (worn down to the backing plate. No, I am not exaggerating) http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lovelljc/MidO/NORPCA_Sept010/images/DSC01153.jpg http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lovelljc/MidO/NORPCA_Sept010/images/DSC00997.jpg http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lovelljc/MidO/NORPCA_Sept010/images/DSC00830.jpg http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lovelljc/MidO/NORPCA_Sept010/images/DSC00703.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Das Borgen Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 this 944 driver was pretty quick, but I managed to eventually outrun her http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lovelljc/MidO/NORPCA_Sept010/images/DSC01013.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyster101 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 What, why was this event not brought to my attention. Sigh. I would have loved to go. BTW if you are cooking brake pads every other session, you are not driving properly. That guy either had the wrong pads on there OR he needed to trail brake more, which is what you should be doing in a front drive car. I bet if you find pictures of him in the beginning of turns his brake lights will be off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got the wrong pads, but by choice.. he runs stock pads for some reason he explained to m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
