[ATL BRZ]

Very eventful weekend full of new experiences coupled with the hottest air we've had all summer. Saturday I was at AMS and Sunday I went white water rafting down the Ocoee river and had a blast.

Atlanta Motor Speedway was amazing. I loved the facility and being able to use the Nascar garages. The track was a ton of fun. The infield road course was a little bumpy but the new pavement is good at promoting grip. The Nascar oval was just incredible when I got the car up on the high banks and redlining 5th gear at 125mph and taking 6th around Nascar 3 and flooring the throttle and white knuckling the steering wheel.

The new suspension and braking gear worked perfectly. The BBK is amazing and the race pads are loud as hell after bedding with any amount of pedal besides threshold braking. The brakes are now so damn thermally efficient that I couldn't keep heat in them going around the oval and into turn 1. After a few laps I noticed significantly less bite into turn 1 than anywhere else around the course since they cooled off too much around the oval, so I started braking extra early there.

My RCE T2 coilovers and Raceseng shock tops are providing a tremendous amount of mechanical grip at speed and I'm now able to say they are absolutely worth it. The car felt more nimble and capable than ever out there.

I wasn't able to get as much track time as I had hoped for since there were some delays due to a couple fluid spills and one incident on track, but I was still able to have lots of fun in both my car and my student's. I will definitely be back at the next AMS event. It's a great track for spectators as well, probably the best around Atlanta since you can see so much of the track right outside the garages in the infield.

My GoPro footage is uploading now and probably wont be edited together and ready until tomorrow, but I did receive some pretty good photos today so I'll start off with the first 10:
