Well I just completed my first DE event and I have to admit its probably the most fun you can have with your clothes on!!!
Not sure why I waited almost 5 years to do a DE ....probably scared I'd blow my motor, but that already happened under normal driving conditions....see Blown Engine post.
Now I am hooked and can't wait until the next event. I now truly appreciate how my car was mean't to be driven and hopefully its made a slightly better driver out of me.
I would encourage anyone who hasn't had at least 1 DE track event to at least try, you will come away with a totally new appreciation of your car!
Some pictures of the event....
Waiting on the grid
Everyone fired up and ready to go....
Turn 12, the most uncomfortable turn on the track...blind entry as you top the hill then slopes away carrying you toward the concrete wall.... all of this while finding the nerve to maintain throttle!!
Turn 1, going about 80-90 MPH at this point, hitting the brakes hard to turn in, finding the apex, then accelerating hard up the hill while using all of the track...the most fun!
The Esses
Coming up to Turn 12...the road seems to disappear...
