Re: My first time on a roadcourse (55 pics)
Nice! Did you like it? Musashi and I got to go on a road course they use here for drifting, we did it for an autocross competition, it was alot of fun and the course was long.

Re: My first time on a roadcourse (55 pics)
This was an autocross organized by the SCCA on Labor day. A lot of people showed up to the event, so we only got 4 runs in. The event was held at Grattan Raceway in Grattan, Michigan, close to Grand Rapids.
After seeing the Prelude crash, I decided to take it slowly. I wasn't pushing it very hard. I was almost two seconds behind my buddy in the Jetta. Usually we're neck in neck with me leading slightly. This got me interested in track racing, and as soon as my S2000 is paid off, I'll be looking at racing in Spec Miata. Jayson, from the Detroit area it's a 2.5 hour drive. There was a SC Cavy that showed up, black with black wheels. You may know him. I will not be able to go to this track until next year, but will be doing several auto-xes close to home.

Re: My first time on a roadcourse (55 pics)
Forgot to mention the Prelude. Towards the end of the course there was a long straight-way on which I was able to get up to 95 mph. In the beginning of the day they had a lane change right before the finish line that people were taking at 80+ mph. The lane change was supposed to slow people down, but it wasn't working. Then the Prelude came along, and he got scared, lifted out of the throttle, and started fishtailing, couldn't control it, and ended up hitting the guardrail. Afterwards they removed the lane change.

Re: My first time on a roadcourse (55 pics)
One more thing. The pictures are not mine. They were taken by Crankwalk on xveedespeed and BoostedBlue02 on streetdisturbance. Gotta give credit where credit is due.

Re: My first time on a roadcourse (55 pics)
There were some really sweet rides there. Too bad about the Prelude. Looked like it was fun.
