Finally road raced my car!

Definitely a very fun experience, everyone should try it sometime! It was tough keeping the max up since the gearing is so long, so for the most part, I kept it in 3rd. I wasn't pushing the car tooo hard, but the max doesn't too bad as far as handling goes. Leather seats don't help because I was sliding side to side in my car. I'm running agx's and progress springs all set up to the stiffest. I was running street tires, so that really sucked! The course bout shredded one of my tires on the edges, but wow it was sooo fun! The course is one of those midfield road courses at a nascar track, and was well worth the price to run....$55 for 4 25min sessions. I only ran half because I still need my sorry street tires. If ya ever get a chance to road race, do it!

If I could ever figure out how to get pics hosted, then post them..I'd do it. All of my other buddies who also ran had hondas, and were running laps around me. There was also one of those saleen S7's...wow!

How are you going to let hondas run laps around you? I beat SIs with **** load of stuff on them. I don't know maybe they handle better but they are slower then my maxima stock on the straight.

Never underestimate handling especially on tracks with not a lot of straights...the elise vs. corvette video Ceasar's Chariot posted above is a prime example of how the elise can keep up and nearly pass the much more powerful Corvette due to its superior handling.......
