Default First timer at the track.

I finally decided it was time to take the car to the track. I've been to tracks many times, but never personally raced down it myself. I didn't know what to expect, all i know is i was excited and nervous all at the same time. After the first run the adrenalin rush was insane! i loved it. I will definitely do it again.

I took some videos of the passes and made a quick video out of it. first 3 passes are inside the car and the last pass is outside the car. The car (2003 z06) is on street tires (Michelin ps2's) and is stock except for the straight piped exhaust.

haha i don't know if i like white or black better, but i think there both sleek looking colors! i am looking to put some DR's on my stockies. I also didn't lower my tire pressure i totally forgot. i am almost certain that might have helped me hook 2nd better. maybe just maybe could have squeaked out a 12.5, since my best run was 12.62. oh well theres always next time.
