Track: The Ridge Motorsports Park
Car: '14 BRZ Limited MT
Mods: Hawk HP+ Brake pads (w/ Motul RBF600), front camber bolts and alignment (0 toe front and rear, front camber ~ 1.3*)
Event: The Ridge Racing School HPDE

A couple weeks ago, I decided for the sake of mental health to sneak in a track day at The Ridge before our dog's second knee surgery. Last time I drove out here was two years ago in a Chump car and I quickly learned just how much there is to forget. After the first couple sessions I started to remember the sight lines and landmarks I'd learned a few years ago with The Ridge Racing School and by the afternoon I was able add speed and started taking video. With a clear track, I was able to hit 2:17's and 2:18's fairly consistently and before I turned on the camera, Harry's said I managed a 2:16.90 that I'm a bit skeptical of.

The link at the top is the best lap I have video of, 2:17.40. Hopefully later this year I'll be able to head back out there and get an instructor to ride with me (paging @rice_classic) so I can start trimming the fat.
