CompOrangeSN95 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) I know how much you guys like pics/video so here's a video from this past week on Summit Point Circuit. After a few problems with my throttle cable I finally got some good laps in. The second day rained.... but I drove anyway. I'll post a video from that day when I get around to editing the footage. Let me know what you think. Edited June 19, 2013 by CompOrangeSN95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Psychorugby Posted June 13, 2013 Moderators Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Awesome video. I want to hit up a race track so badly. Never done it and feel like I don't really know how to "drive." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CompOrangeSN95 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Thanks, get out there and give it a shot man. Instructors are usually great and you'd be amazed at what you'll learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildWillyWalker Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Man, I'd like to do this too. I want to put my crappy heel/toe skills to work! I should've registered for this Saturday at Hyperfest down at Summit Point. $50 to drive your car. I don't know how much time you get though and I'm just going to try and enjoy the car show and drifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVTurbo 98 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I'm jealous of you guys that live near road courses. Nice driving OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Looks like a blast, they're re-opening a road course about 45 mins from me so I might have to finally try it out :thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff Daddy Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 You suck, but good video, car looks to be running well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CompOrangeSN95 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Thanks guys! Just got to get out there and do it. I broke my throttle cable during the first season but mananged to find a universal one at a local auto parts store and get it working for the rest of the day and the second day as well. It rained hard the second day but I drove anyway. Got some good videos from then too, couple of nice saves.- - - Updated - - -Do it Rio, you're not to far from Mid-ohio are you? I looked for you at Carlisle but remember that your car is under construction right now... Same with Opal, still haven't had the chance to see that car in person and the last time I saw yours you were still rocking the SRA. How close to summit point are you Willy? Both the main Circuit and Shenandoah are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never really looked into it but I've always been told it's rather expensive. Plus I'm always scared I'll fly off the track or hit someone haha. I'd probably be that slow guy. Gotta get to an autocross with my car before I take on a whole road course. I was planning to autocross my car a few weeks ago but ended up taking CJ's Street Car.

CompOrangeSN95 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 I know what you mean Willy, I had the same fear when I started, especially since I was driving my pops GT500... Buy yourself and trackbitch like me (Total investment is under 8k).I'll edit some more videos tonight knucklehead and post them up. My MacBook Pro is starting to bog down on me so it takes for ever to render everything... I get frustrated some times and shut it off haha. Some of the footage from the rain is fun to watch, but i only have one wiper so you have to deal with a spotty windshield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CompOrangeSN95 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Hell yeah man! That's the way to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CompOrangeSN95 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 As promised , MOAR VIDEO! This is from day 2 in the rain. I decided not to cut a majority of the laps out like I did in the last video. Racing in the rain is a blast, I've been getting much better at recovering from a slide.
