    Default Pictures from lapping day last Friday

    Four of us headed down to Bremerton from Seattle, two e34's a 350z and the Ferrari. (1975 Ferrari 308gt4 -I think). Couple pictures of Jeff N. tearing around the track.

    It was an open session all day, couldn't ask for more seat time.

    Other cool cars that showed:
    1986 AMG 560sec
    Two Lotus Sevens
    Beautiful dark Blue 993 Turbo

    Looks like fun.

    Did Jeffro 'borrow' another set of tires to pound at the track? Did the RD headers make any noticeable difference to his 5er?

    Was the 350z hella faster than the old fiat and the underpowered, heavy sedan?

    Inquiring minds want to know.

    Miss you girls.

    Martinator- You going to drive up for the next one? Beer and BBQ at Jeff's cabin followed.

    Those were his old tires, they made it through 3/4 of the day..not sure about the header, didn't notice if it was on or not?

    350 was fast, stock everything and handled the conditions great. Sat in it with my helmet on, pretty tight.

    Put a bar in the purple car and bring it up..Oct 11.

    Thx there Eric...nice pics. Saw Anthony tonight and he says he has a bunch more. I'll let you know what he has...

    A good day was had by all...lots o track time. Impressed with how little body roll my 5er has. Never seen pics like that, pretty tight.

    Got a ride in the 308gt4; way cool... gotta love 280+hp in a 2700 lb car. And the noises it makes...whoo hoo!

    Martin - ya missed out. Git yer ass out of sackotomatoes...

    My car's got some work to do still. Not making the power she should.

    Let's do it again! (I need new rubber).

    Few more (really big) pics. Erik - sent you the direct link.

    Our photog's didn't get a worthy shot of Erik's car. Bad bad bad.

    Interesting look at a high speed turn. Likely going about 85 or so...inside wheel's almost off the ground.



    I like this one. This 270 degree turn is wicked. Hard braking, down shifting, 270 turn, don't miss the apex..back on the gas.



    Erik helping me replace the brake pads and swap tires. (Thx Erik!)



    The 308gt4 making the turn...

    Hella... you've been in CA too long already!

    I went to UC Davis as an undergrad... friend of mine from Davis went to grad school with me in MA... he often used the term, "Hella butt-ass". "Dude - that problem set was hella butt-ass hard!!"

    So Jeff got the Headers? How do I get on the list?

    So Jeff - you've got Dinan springs and the blue RD adjustable sways?

    I wouldn't have believed the lack of body roll if I hadn't seen it - very impressive for a Mrs Piggy-type e34!

    I'm jealous - looks like a LOT of fun.

    BTW - what tires are you running to get that kind of grip?

    - Robin
