Im running some 225/45/17 Michelin Pilot Sports that I got for free from a Mercedes. Most of the street cars were running either Dunlop Direzza D1 Star Specs or Falken Azenis 615's though.

The Michelin's are decent in the rain, but the side walls are so soft. . . Too soft. I miss my Azenis.

damn flat florida......


lol, i do enjoy taking the accord on hill/mountains of north georgia. nothing like this, but it deffinatly fun to take the car out of its normal enviroment and throw it into something else

Good Job Nick

Thanks! I know how you feel. I live in Phoenix for a year while I was at UTI and its just a big grid. Soooooo boring.

You can see the types of cars that go to these events. Its quite the assortment.

Hells Yeah! Car 445 looks sick...nice rolling shots. I can tell there are some characters there. Looks like fun times to me.

Nick I'm going to be in FL during those dates, but if you have anything else coming up this summer that is somewhat close, I'd definitely be interested in coming out.

No, sorry. I'll get some in car footage at the next one. And hopefully someone will post my launch. The 2 step launch control on my car is nasty.

Ohh I see, friend of mine tracked his 350z and he also has Azenis and likes them too because of the sidewalls. The previous owner had PS2 on it and said the same thing that the sidewalls are soft. Im trying to look for some AutoX events down here through SCCA and some friends because your car inspires me to go out and try it out.

This is one of my favorite "cars" there. Its got a 350 bored out to a 403 with some massive cam. Makes roughly 500whp and 600whp. Ths drive has 3 teeth. Literally.

This Pugeut is pretty fast. Faster than the Accord, (for now). And yes, thats a rad fan on the hood for a FMIC.

Circle Track car. He crashed soon after this pic was taken.

The rear tire fully tucked under the fender. The driver side wheel was about 9" in the air.

The bikes were crazy. This guy proved to be the craziest as he posted the fastest time.

Oh hello. . . .

This guy usually posts some of the fastest times of the day.

I had bent my front plate to setup the Smart String Alignment setup we have at work, and I forgot to bend it back.

The Porsche 928 that someone asked about earlier.

Filthy.

This is the owner/driver of the Chevy truck. It broke at the top of the mountain and they let him drive his rig up there. He did it in
4:15s. My best time was a 2:38s, he was is the fvcking man.

Im using Crome right now, but I plan on switching to Hondata s300 soon.
