EPIC track day!! Passed a 911 GTS!

I was at Wild Horse West track a few weeks ago. West is short track just over a mile long. Long story short, there was a guy there in a Cayman R that I let by me on two different sessions because I was holding him back. Yup, I would run away from him on the straight away but he would be on my bumper two turns later. His buddy was driving a 911 turbo and he could not keep up with either of us. So it's not always about the juice. It is about driving ability and what the driver's motives may be while on the track. If you want to get better or learn a new track, you don't do that at speed.

Yea, last time I went, it was the East track. Also just a bit over a mile. The full track was AWESOME!

I was the only Z out there. lol

I run with NASA and there are a few 350s and one other 370z which runs on a regular basis. The guy that 370z is fast...he was able to hang with me on east last year and he is NA. His Z is a straight up race car and he is a competitive driver and he wins or podiums alot.

I am heading to Chuckwalla Valley Raceway this weekend. It is a great track at 2.7 miles and made for momentum cars like ours.
