I know my personal blog has really been neglected this summer, but I've been very busy consulting. And when I'm not helping out moto-clients with web services consulting, I'm working with a great team to really dial up the Rare Sportbikes For Sale site. Check out some of the sweet rides this week alone: MC28 NSR250 SE, CBR250R Hurricane, Huge Teaser for some OW01's, VF1000R, Bimota YB9, and well you get the idea.
If you're in a shopping mood, I'd subscribe as the best deals are always had in the fall and early winter.
Back from another great track day with the Cascade Sports Car Club. This club is always well organized with good instructors. Turned out to be a nice late summer day with the temps touching the low 90's, which provided fantastic grip!
I'm really feeling very comfortable in the S2000 and despite all the internet folklore of the AP1 being tail-happy, I'm pleased to report that this is another rumor we can put to bed. Sure if you lift off and yank the controls in the middle of a turn 9 at 100mph, you kind of deserve what you get. But I had two gotcha moments and both were easily caught with smooth controls. This isn't to say I'm a genius driver, but rather, it's a really well balanced car and very forgiving with gentle hands.
Here are some pics from the pits that my buddy Gabe took:
I hear he has video too, so I'm hoping to get my hands on that and will post if I can.
Sadly this was probably my last track day of the season, but one of the most memorable days out in recent memory for sure. Big shout out to Gabe who convinced me to attend at a late date!
