Of course, that's just hypothetical. I, of course, didn't spend my whole freaking day that way!

LOL, you did that Dan?

dbjb · 07-01-2011, 09:51 PM

Yes. Sucked ass.

Cleaning up now. Then packing for infineon. Then swimming. Then sleeping. Then waking early. Then experiencing my LSD for the first time on the track. Woohoo.

Great times yesterday at Infineon! It was nice meeting more of you guys! Sorry Skow, I saw your car on the track but never found you in the parking area. I'll post some pictures of the race when they email them to me.

Next is Thunderhill on 13 August 2011.

Activ · 07-03-2011, 12:41 PM

Nice meeting you Syndicate! I wish I could have fired off a few shots of your car but it was so hot and well being passenger in the Audi S5 was first, picture second =) But I will be posting up the few shots I got from the day sometime tonight.

Syndicategt · 07-03-2011, 01:03 PM

Who was filming the GT-R inside the blue Evo? He has a great shot of me cutting him off in turn 7

skow · 07-04-2011, 09:36 AM

Defiantly had a good time at infineon. I'll be singing up for Thunderhill.

Was nice meeting you Dan, hope your buddy made it though the last event. What did you say was the name of that guy who solved his flexing hood problems?

Synd & Activ, missed you this time but i'm sure i'll run across you guys at some future event.

cowbell · 07-04-2011, 10:16 AM

Where can I get more info about the thunder hill event?

Thanks!

Thunderhill sign up is here:

http://nasaproracing.com/event/1216

I'm going on Saturday 13 August and signed up for HPDE1. Thunderhill is a great track for beginners as it's very forgiving and less technical than Infineon.

Thanks for the info!
I've been to Thunderhill and infineon with the audi club. I personally enjoyed thunderhill more. Turn 3 (I think) with the hard left downhill then sweeping off camber right turn is a blast.

This organization looks pretty cool. Again, thanks for the link!

Syndicategt · 07-05-2011, 11:33 AM

Anyone know which vendor sells Cool Carbon brake pads? I'm going to need some new pads before the next event.

Might be able to get you some. I'll email my people and see if we can get some.

Here are some high res shots (of my car) from Infineon last weekend (for those who missed out on a great weekend):

Activ · 07-05-2011, 11:43 PM

Been busy but here are a few shots. Wish I could have had more shooting time but was having more fun in the S5 passenger seat.

The guy with the yellow Maserati was actually really cool, drove back to Sac with him.

His V8 had electric cut-outs....hence the reason it sounded so badass.

Activ · 07-06-2011, 12:29 PM

Yeah Chris's S5 sounds angry with the cut outs, its quite fun messing with car salespeople with his car

Do you have any pictures of your car? Were you the one behind us at the start of the last run?

lawwailok · 07-06-2011, 12:39 PM

Yea, that S5 sounded ridiculously awesome. I love the torque from our turbo's, but the sound is no match for a v8.

Anyone else signed up yet? I just bought some Cool Carbon brake pads + Challenger SS lines, can't wait to test these out.
