Day at the track...

I just got back from a track day up at the New Hampshire International Speedway on Tuesday. Had a great time! OmToast really wanted to go with her MCS, however, as many of you may already know...her car is having some "issues". Issues which will hopefully be quickly resolved.

Anyways, click on the link below to see some shots. Not the best pictures, my S400 Elph is getting kinda old and has lived a very abused life. There was only one MINI there in the advanced run group...keeping up with some much faster cars There are one or two shots of him on the track.

(I am the one in the gray Z4 -- the only Z4 at the track that day...)

Well...enjoy!

Not sure if this was the appropriate forum for this thread, but it seemed to make the most sense...since it is about "other cars"...

The green / orange MCS is a regular out at NHIS. I wish I was out there... I miss NHIS.

Yes, that was a Honda Fit. It was in the novice run group...I think the car was brand new off of the lot! It got a little squirrely on some corners

Though it seems if you beef up the suspension, add better tires, and learn to drive it...it could maybe be pretty quick at the track!

Though it did have some nasty body roll!

Some video from the track...very "amature" video

My friend was still trying to get the hang of the video camera for the first couple passes.

Enjoy!
