My two days at NHIS

[htheduck]

Well folks I had a fun and safe two days at the track up at New Hampshire International Speedway. Day one was gloomy and cold. Day two started the same with the sun peeking in and out. In addition to the driving school the BMW club racers had a race there that weekend as well.

Here are some pics and movies: (As I extract more footage of some good laps I will continue to post on this thread).

I have to thank NYYDynasty for the camera rental & my long time friend John (up in NH) and his Dad who was my instructor.

John's M3 and we are bleeding my brakes in his garage:

Missed you there Johnny...would have been nice to see another SRT4 there. (I don't mean to rub it in by posting videos.) :(
Here is a 2:30 vid of entering the track, then infield, and my garage area:

looks like alot of fun i wouldnt mind road racing, i want to try everything, i love racing in general, so i will be happy doing it.

[htheduck]

I would encourage anyone to try a road coarse. As for me, I'm hooked-it's the wallet that is holding me back.

[SupeRfasT-4]

LOL, thats always the problem, but if its what u love to do why not spend your $ on it that you earned.

[htheduck]

You're right Brad. Opportunities don't always come around, but you can always make more money.

Next time I want you and Fly to join me.

[hozay09]

Howard, maybe u can tell me the origin of the mass amount of decals?

[htheduck]

Which ones? On my car or the Dodge in the avitar pic? I'm not following...help me help you.
Thanks.
