Just finished up a fantastic day. I ran my third autocross today. It was a pretty special day due to the fact that I broke the 3,000 mile mark on the way to the track today. I also took down my first super car. I out ran a Nissan GTR and ended up 22nd out of 101 cars at the event. I rode with the driver of the GTR and that thing is sick! It feels so good to outrun corvettes, porshes, bmw's, spec miatas. To say I'm stoked is an understatement.

I did it with lousy ass brakes. This manual wilwood setup is "junk" on the autocross. I was using rythmm and engine braking. I used the brakes twice on each run. Once in the middle of the track and the finish line. Both required a quick pump. So I got the GTR with it's traction control, awd, and abs with basically no brakes. I'm going hydraboost and I'm pissed to be honest.

I finished off the day taking the long way home through the Lake Mead recreation area and just relaxing doing 65 in 5th gear. Here are a couple horrible videos. I bought a camera mount at best buy and it was junk. I'm buying the go pro before my next event. At least you can hear my rythmm and engine braking. It gives you an idea of the wild ride she was on. The whole ceiling deal had me rolling when I downloaded them, she's like what? If you have a sensitive stomach I wouldn't watch!
