A mile later they all went left as I went right. Although I knew a slow moving car was a few hundred yards ahead I had my chance for a little fun. I brought it up to 80 in third and let the gears slow me for a turn that felt like I floated through about 65+. This is a turn I could not take faster than 55 in my beloved 300ZXtt. I came up so fast on a Subaru just over the crest. I thought he was going to let me by at first, but he decided to instead accelerate downhill. OK.

Half a dozen turns later he pulled over for me, after a wave of thanks, the fun began. With only one good turn left I ran across a string of cars lead and trailed by you guessed it. I shall not sully your eyes again with it's name.

Remind me of which video, that was, if you will please.

A track day in April is beyond way cool. It is so worth it. I do hope you will video your track day and share it us. It is a way to relive that moment which is so fleeting.

I am just sorry racing is a seasonal sport.

Recently some one commented that video ought to be a PSA about distracted driving.

Here is another. This is my favorite video personally. No VDC, bikes or pesky Prius to get in the way. The sun was just rising. What a morning. Nissan 370Z - Top of the morning - YouTube
