2003/04/24 T.E.A.M. Track Event at Thunderhill
2003-04-24 00:00 by Merlin in Cars
The Sacramento Area Miata Owners Association had another track day at ThunderHill. This event was easier for me since nothing fell out of my car :-). The only little hitch were my brand new pads that I ate in a little more than 1H of track time, but they were braking well :-)

My car was definitely faster, but I didn't gain that much on my lap time because

  • I can get better
  • My suspension really needs work now (stock shocks)
  • My car was wobbly (bent rim)
  • I was rather tired and simply didn't drive that well, but I went mowing the grass twice :-)
