Had a good time at the NASA event at Pocono on May30-June 1.
I ran the Escort in the Saturday and Sunday sprint races. Other than a fried fan belt (an easy fix) the car ran great.
My re-set 3/32" of toe-out made a huge improvement in handling and tire wear is reduced to boot.
There's an in-car video link at the bottom of all of this:
You can always tell there's something "going on" as you get nearer to the track.
I stopped at a convience store about 2 miles from the track to get gas and snacks. A nice, 60-something, School-Marm-ish lady walks out of the store. She is wearing a handknit sweater and a Very Sensible Sunhat. She looks like Everybodie's Favourite Unmarried Aunt. She hops into the driver's seat of a new-ish 6-speed Corvette (with numbers on the door) and chirps the tires in the first two gears as she heads towards the track.
After she leaves an Elise takes her parking space.
As I am leaving, I see an ~Audi R8~ pull in. The driver looks like a young college kid. I am wondering how he can afford to thrash a $110,000 car at a track day? Is he a bank robber? Or a jewel thief?
Here's some British stuff (or at least quasi-British) that I saw while at this NASA event.
An Ariel Atom
Sunbeam Tiger
An Elise
An ERA replica Cobra (I like the old-school roll bar)
Ford GT
