Here are some photographs from a day at the track last Friday.

The white car is me (AZ88TURBO), the photo with the green S4s is Bill (95LOTUS).

Loads of fun but heavy on the tires (and turbo in my case).

Hey grat pics Mark! I bet your hooked on these track days now huh. I rekon track days are excellent for your skills but can come at a price I guess. I try to keep my revs at 80% and not red line it all the time but its hard not to when your out there

BTW did you get some good oversteer on those corners?

Hey Kylie,

Since I put the larger/lower profile tires on the front it is pretty well balanced, not much under/over steer wither way. I guess the worst is just that I was pushing it too much and melted much of them away. It was a lot of fun though.

I have just started auto crossing my 89. What a blast. Tires were doing okay untill I did an off-course excursion and lock-up. They now have a slight thump to them. Fortunately I have another set of tires and rims for daily driving. Half the fun is trying to determine the cars limits, and mine for that matter. Last time I raced was in the seventies in a really tired Triumph TR3B. Don't know how to post pictures with this so I'll try to place them in the images section. Good luck and enjoy the ride to those who dare
