A Few Laps at Spring Mountain!! (Video)
I got out to Spring Mountain Roadcourse a few weeks ago for the first time! It was also the first time I got to try out my new Pfadt Coilovers & Unitrax/Quaife diff on a track as well!
Both mods were done by Sean and crew at Orange county Corvette! The car felt great, and I ran a best of 2:39. I drove the car 280 miles each way to and from the track, as well as 7 sessions on the track. I will say after 3 years of abuse, I'm in the shop for some freshing up as we speak...
I had a blast out there, even though I did experience my first "off" track outing...
I'll get that up soon enough.
Ed and I shot a bunch of video, here's some of it!!
Enjoy!

Good driving Joel. It looks like you are almost alway on line and hitting your apexes well.
I don't know what happened to me at minute 12:40, but I had to run out and buy some Torco!?!?!?
Only one off-track in all the driving you have done? Heck, I have done that once per session on some days! Sometimes I have learned more from those brief moments than I did the whole rest of the day, although if you make that mistake/learn that lesson in the wrong spot it can sometimes mean devastation for the car....

I know my line was off when I went off, and I think I learned something, but it was no fun....
