Subject: my day at the track

hello folks,

yesterday i attended a Marque Day session at nearby Summit Pt. Raceway. the
Marque Day is a school-type session that car clubs are invited to attend. it's
a nice way to get 20 or so members together and have a good time.

my observations after completing three 20min hot-sessions: I LOVE IT! - the
car is absolutely incredible when you put it on it's edge on a road course.
i was doing things with the car that i would have never dreamed of - i had
that much confidence in the car (even more confidence than i had in myself,
but hopefully that will improve). the car is a very well balanced machine.

the only problem i had was with those darn OEM Bridgestone tires. (obviously)
they just aren't worthy of a track. at least they were predictable.

the only things i plan on changing before the next session will be tires and
a more aggressive alignment - other than that the car was PERFECT :)

what a day! (i can still smell the smells and hear the sounds)
Keith
