First Track Event - HDPE at Thunderhill [Video]

I went to my first track event at Thunderhill this weekend and had a blast. I ran with everything stock and in MDM mode.

Here's a quick two minute video from the hour of footage I have.



And a few pictures:

awesome, looks like a fun track. I can't really comment too much on there, since I've never been. One thing I did notice is you seem to be somewhat far away from the steering wheel, and during turns, tends to stretch your arms too much. Try to sit closer, have more flexibility in your arms as you turn the wheel (could just be the angle).

Glad you had fun and welcome to our version of crack.

Thanks! I think it may just be the angle, because I actually sit really close to the wheel. It always looks funny when I drive by a building with mirror window tint because I'm setting well in front of the B pillar.

Nice! Finally, a video showing hands to correlate with sound.
