few pics from saturday

CasterTroy · 11-16-2009, 11:39 AM

Carolina Motorsports Park, Kershaw NC

2.3 miles

Turn One track day

76 degrees

This was a mixed day with 3 car sessions (25 min) and 1 motorcycle session (30 min) rotating to give us all 6 sessions

240 with the engine from an old Ricky Rudd car

For the most part it was a blast. I did really well in the corners, passing most, but the 3 straights would KILL me. I top out at 105 and I know I did an indicated 161 on the back straight years ago on my TLR...so I would get molested like a lone sheep on a lonely Wyoming farm on the straights. But in the 30 minute sessions I would only get lapped ONCE by about 8 of the 30 riders, and one insane bastard on a R6 would lap me 3 times....but he was crazy/stupid/insane fast

Had fun though....need to find smaller tracks within 3 hours of me because this is just slightly too big for the motard.

There were only 2

Camera died before I got pics of everything.

They had about 1/2 dozen type R integra's and an OLD 318i 4 door that was tearing those porsche's UP

we had a few F18's dogfighting above us (Fort Jackson) and 2 different bi-planes dogfighting at lunch.....nice little addition to the day

Cool pics.

I'm pretty sure that I know the guy with the red Porsche GT3. He also has a Porsche race car that he tracks there. He used to have a Superformance Cobra replica and I was lucky enough to drive...same with that red Porsche but I've never driven his race car.

Looks like a blast.

Cool....

CasterTroy · 11-16-2009, 01:17 PM

If thats him...it shows. He was the fastest thing OUT there. He was tearing up the GT3's and the ferrari. I think he even lapped the ferrari

F-18's over Fort Jackson? That's an Army base

He's a pretty cool guy too. I'll ask him if he was there this weekend for sure but it does look like him. I work for him.
