15th and 16th track day of the year (+photos)

Spent the weekend at Watkins Glen, heading back next weekend with Metro PCA.

Many thanks to dan@vividracing for keeping me stock up on pads, rotors, wheels, suspension bits, and the wing, no I didnt notice a difference with downforce, but I think it looks bad@ss

On the brakes or on the gas, usually on the gas, so the rear end tucks in

Thank you, got a car wash the morning before I headed out, although up close the car was covered in bugs

This is the only pic I have of the interior, the red inserts look great and the seats are a great compromise for track + street duty.

Very nice. I've done 13 days YTD and am headed to the Glen on Sunday for 2 days with Audi Club on Monday-Tuesday (registration closes today, you should add on 2 more days since you're going to be there anyway!).

I think it may be all of the elevation changes and banking, doesn't feel like too much body roll from the inside on flatter tracks.

Certainly a lot less than a stock turbo

Almost forgot to mention that all photography was done by Jesse
http://www.jessesimmersphoto.com/

Really cool kid, he got a bunch of me and my dad's Cayman S, so if you are doing a track day on the north east and want to get some photography done shoot him an email.

He'll provide you with a CD and huge RES photos.

Car stops like a freight train!

I also replaced my brake fluid it was just out of this world. On the smaller straights Im braking later, now I just need to work up my confidence on the bigger ones
