I loaded up the car last Thursday afternoon and drove up to the Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton Washington to meet Scott Borduin (PTAddict) for a track day last Friday. This was my first time running at RMP. The track is a 2.47 mile long road course… with two blind rises, two blind descents, and a ½ mile long straight. What a fun track.… it just doesn’t get much better! I had the most fun I’ve ever had with my car. This track is much more technical challenging than PIR… and was a blast.
It was a 2.5 hour drive to the track... so I rented a trailer and drove up the night before and spent the night at the track. I plan to get an enclosed trailer before next season.
Here is a pic of Scotts car and trailer. Nice set up.
You can see part of the track in the background on this pic. WhenI first saw this I couldn't believe the elevation drop.
For the first session I drove behind Scott and he showed me the lines. I ran a total of five sessions for the day. By the third session I was starting to figure out the track and pick up speed. The car felt very balanced and the grip was excellent. The new suspension set up worked great... can’t wait to get back out on this track.
I look forward to doing more track day events in the future with Scott. Scotts car is very impressive in person, and he goes all out on the track. Next time out we plan to get some video dicing on the track.
Thanks to Scott for inviting me to the track day. I had a great time and it was nice to get out on a new track
