My camera is four years old, so not exactly cutting-edge ... but it was my first time at any track.

PIR is a pretty small, tight track, but it did the trick ... plenty of room for speed on the long straights, and there were more than a few spins (and a camaro into the wall on the first fast lap of the morning :ha: [towed but no injury]


Can't wait until my car is good enough to track some day :)

The usual [track] suspects

I hate Miatas. So does the guy in the Alfa.
The dude later almost spun in the same turn. Only saw one other car (alfa GTV) spin there.

996 911 Turbo ... must have been hitting 120 on the straights. This was the straight.

These two Volvos were awesome:

This Alfa Romeo GTV was, IMO, THE sweetest car on the track.
