Great day...

Evos getting bruised...

Shelby Cobra...very fast on straights but a real handful in the turns:

and Lotus Exige..., my favorite target of the day:

Here's two clean-ish laps...one slaying an Evo, one cooking the tires...great fun...

This evening I'll post up Shelby Cobra hunting and Lotus Exige hunting...

I really love this car. My fastest lap was 1:06.6, as measured by my PerformanceBox (made by VBox). That's just a hair faster than I ran in November with my (now sold) supercharged '02 Z06.
Best part of the session 4, there was a new Z06 (500hp) hunting me from behind but couldn't make up the time on the straights...he said there was nothing he could do once I had open track in front of me.
Impressive car this STI is...

Be good,
TomK

Awesome vid. You were running real nice! I'm heading out to Summit Point Racetrack in WV this July and hope to be beating on those Evos too!

***Digitalfiend*** · 04-04-2007, 09:16 AM

What have you done to the car?

Irishsti · 04-04-2007, 11:04 AM

I loved Limerock! Watching this video makes me so impatient, gotta wait a few more months till our next track day! At one point, you pass a red car (Think it was a Miata), it was up the hill right before the downhill into the straight, anyways they did not alow us to pass anyone unless it was on the straights - What club were you with there?

Really, very little.

Front/Rear sways
stainless lines/Pagid Yellows/MotulRBF600
headers,Turboback...catless
Cobb Stg2
Schroth ProfiII ASM (no harness bar).

The boys at RaceCompEngineering have really helped me with the chassis bits, I'm also expecting the TarmacIIs soon so that should make things a bit more interesting.

That's it for the performance stuff. Amazing just how good the car is stock/stock"ish".

Darkiller · 04-04-2007, 11:38 AM

Yes, just prior to WestBend...

The event was with PDA. The experienced drivers are allowed to pass in 3 areas...Main straight, no-name straight (just before the uphill), and back straight(just after the uphill). It was very tight there, but the Miata pretty much parked-it there and gave us room. Not something I make a habbit of doing, but I was really going after the blue Evo...until the white one held me up.

Too much fun...too much fun!!!

Next live taping....May 5th, Pocono East!!!

Be good,
TomK

Oh I gotcha. Yeah, what in the lords name was the Miata doing? His instructor must have had a heart attack. Anyways, I have been wondering how the Pocono race track is compared to Limerock. After you go would you be kind enough to give your review of the track? Thanks!

Great video, I was signed up for that day until my engine went. This made me that much more impatient about getting my car back.
I'm going to try to make in on May 5th @ Pocono.
