That is awesome Brian! How many people can say they've had that kind of experience with their car and to be able to include your dad and daughter also.

I went to the SoCal Challenge over the weekend and had a blast. I had never been there before, so I had not learned the tricks of the track. I recently put on Falken RT 615K's and I have been impressed. I was fortune to win the overall during the day. I was only .1 off the track record on the Falkens. At the end of the day, the track and So Cal crew let me throw on my year old Goodyear slicks for an attempt at the track record. My shifter was hanging up on me on my downshifts from 3rd to 2nd, so I ran up on the rev limiter until my last lap. I hated doing this! I had a delay due to over heating, but they waited it out for me. I had one crack at it and I made the best of it. The old track record for the past year was held by a modified Miata with aero and forced induction. His time was a 43.24. I beat it by 2 seconds with a 41.25.

Here is a video of the run from the left quarter panel view. The new sound out of the exhaust is courtesy of a new Black Widow muffler. I love the sound.

Awesome setting a track record!! Sweet....

I have to tell ya though --- I'm not sure I'd run my car on that track -- holy crap that's narrow!!

Knew you'd break it! Not even close. Congrats. What was your street tire time for comparison?

Exhaust sounds good. Change just for something different?
