Weather was cold but,the turbo and brakes like it.
It was my first time going solo and i loved it.
In the second session vid about a minute in i nearly lost it but,awd saved my behind.Tyres took a good 2 laps to get hot.There was plenty of spinouts.
All in all great time had.Packed her up and drove home unscathed again.
I love this car.
I have to give a shout out to PDA for a great show put on all season,who provide these great events.Roll on spring time.

Great job, Alex. You've got the line down and are really smooth.
Nice pass on the Vette!
Be good,

Lime Rock is great. I usually try to get up there once a year. I love seeing all of those Ferrari's

Yes indeed it is great.

If you notice in the straight how much i bounce around because of the seats,they really are quite dangerous at the track.
Sparco Corsa for xmas

Based on your lines and very smooth handling of the car, you're ready for blue. You'll be able to run with faster drivers and learn more, too.
Yep...you're ready!!!!

"f*ckin wicked!"

Your driving looks good and your line around the left hander is excellent. What number do you start braking at?

I know going solo is awesome, but i would recommend you staying with an instructor. Why pay the money for the day and not use it to improve your skill. I'm sure you'll get better every day going solo, but with an instructor you'll improve even more. If the instructor you were previously using didn't have much to say try someone else out.

Thanks Guys for the kind comments,
As for the instructor thing i have the same guy everytime and he is a real cool dude.Watch him push me here Watkins Glen HPDE2 STI I have been to limerock several times so i thought i would give it a go,you know.
Next season i will get an instructor if i am trying to get in the Blue group as i believe what you say about the learning more

RacerXS · 11-21-2007, 07:24 PM

Just watched both vids, nice job

I especially like the end of vid 2 with the pass on the vette & 944.

I was actually signed up for the Thursday session @ limerock, but had to cancel b/c of work. This made me even more bummed about it.

My last session @ Pocono was in the blue group for the first time, definitely a better time, you don't have to deal with the Camry's, Accords, and the "too scared to drive my $100k+ masterpiece" guys like I saw in your video

Keep it up, hope to see you out next year.

Good to hear. Maybe i'll see you at limerock or one of the other road courses in the summer.

Def,i can't wait for next season.
I really feel myself getting into it more and more,it's just good clean fun.
I will be getting a nice seat off santy this year so it should improve my driving.
Did you guys ever set up an IWSTI track day,because that would be sweet.
Sign me up.

Sign me up.

2 years ago there were probably about 7 people there and this year there were probably 4 (some of the people from last year had sold their car and other just couldn't make it). It was me, chris05sti, MacSTi, and RAC10000 (he didn't drive, cause he's a wuss

). Hopefully we'll get a couple more people this year. There are also usually a couple other STi's there every year and i've made friends with them as well. We run with SCDA (Welcome to SCDA - The Sports Car Driving Association) and they have always been great. They charge $350 a day, how much does PDA charge?

PDA charge 270 for the day,350 is alot but,i would pay it if that was the price.I got to know a real cool dude from this site(ace996)and we have hit the track together a few times but,i was never in his group.
How does scda compare to nasa/pda?.I like the setup at PDA real nice guys.
Come spring we will get something rolling.
