2017 OG MG M2 - My First Track Day!
Car control clinic at Lime Rock. Had the time of my LIFE! So much so, I signed up for track day at Thompson on 5/6 & another CCC @ Lime Rock in June.
I think I'm gonna need another M2... One for street & one for track. heh heh

There were 2 parts - the wet skid pad/learning to go sideways & this CRAZY hairpin S-curve that changed elevations. The hairpin curves, you really think your car (you) can't possibly make those curves at high speed. Once I trusted the instructor & just did it - HOLY SH!T!!!!
I was smiling the entire 3 hours I spent on that track. And I am still high from the event. HUGE adrenaline rush and I can say I am 100% hooked. I signed up for a second CCC in June & then the HPDE track day at Thompson Speedway on 5/6. I feel cheated for never having done this before. LOL

The gap between what the car is capable of, and what even a decent driver is capable of is mind blowing. |

I don't know what he used, but it was definitely no cell phone. LOL Had a really nice, huge lens on it the times I spied him on a hill or bank taking pics.
