Cool, way to keep those Boxster Spyders behind you guys!

Looks like fun. I would much rather have been there than at work today.

BTW, the thread title gave me quite a scare for a moment until I noticed the =D.

sipman · 03-17-2012, 08:45 PM

I wish I could have been there with you all. The weather was perfect today. I am jealous.

gtMc · 03-17-2012, 08:52 PM

Yeah looks like a great day. And yep me too on the title, I literally went 'NOOOooooooo' outloud when I first saw it.

sabbanick · 03-17-2012, 10:38 PM

Great to spent another day at the track!

Blind32 · 03-18-2012, 12:32 AM

Phew. I read that title all wrong. I thought you meant that there was a crash and it involved Zs.

Great pics!

sabbanick · 03-18-2012, 05:12 AM

I was fooled too by this thread too.

I will try to take some pics today.

Sadly I just got home from an awesome weekend of driving. I had the ultimate driving session I've ever experienced today. I had open track for 20 minutes on the last session ...no one but myself to get in the way.

This was the first event of the season at NJMP...needless to say the run groups were criwded. I laid done my best times and I was consistently laying it down lap after lap for the entire session. Feels good to have that sort of consistency.

I have pics I'll post up tomorrow. Pretty lazy and not wanting to unpack my stuff right now.

Finnegan · 03-18-2012, 10:41 PM

Dubbedown, nice driving there!

Sabbanick, looking forward to picks. Nothing like a great day where you see improvement. Achieving consistency is quite an accomplishment.

HERE is a link to a set of pics i took...some reason i am having trouble posting some of my favorites. I have more pics but I reached the monthly maxuimum for flickr.

I like the GoPro tow hook mount. Need to get myself one of those.

Looks like fun though! Not sure if I'll make it to a track day this year. Maybe once I move to Cali in a few months...

drew935 · 03-20-2012, 06:36 PM

/\/\ I agree. I like how you mounted the GoPro too

sabbanick · 03-21-2012, 10:42 AM

here is one run on thunderbolt. loose the audio when i try to edit the file plus i have few issues with the smartycam. Two major ones are that the RPM's/gear/throttle/brakes decided to quit mid event for some reason though i still have the data and there is audio interference of some sort.

lap 7 and on is when i start having some fun...run into a c5 vette with hoosiers and some open track. Also another Z4M we run into at this point...may have been his first time out on track with this car.
