Our FRS on Barber Motorsports Park...
I know better than to let someone hold a camera and film during a track day. It just didn't register when we pulled onto the track. I got a talking to and feel fairly dumb. 38 years of racing, 20 years of club level instructing and several years instructing professionaly all bundled up into me forgetting something that simple. DUH!!!!!!
Now that all that's out of the way. The car was SO much fun on the big track. It does suffer from ZEROPOWERITUS from track out to the next braking zone though. This with the Perrin Cat Back and Drop in Filter. Everything else is stock down to the Michelins. |

Holding a cell phone or camera of any kind in the car on the track = bad!
Great video though! Was this from the autocross event there last weekend? I thought that they were not opening the track or else I would have gone! Scott |

You never know what can happen during an event like this. They let me out there for the last session. I then went all stupid with allowing the passenger to hold the phone and got rightfully made fun of by all involved. But the track time was worth it!

My ass is now black and blue from me kicking myself for not going!
Looks like I'll have to wait until next year now! More car prep time! Scott |

Looking at doing something at TGPR in the nearish future. Keep in touch and keep your eye on these forums for more info. It's not Barber, but it is a race track! And, it's a tad more cost effective! lol.

You know what I would love to see. I would love to see about 15 FRS going at it around Barber.

Hah, that's awesome. I hate that I didn't get around to going out there as it sounded like a great event to spend some time learning. Granted, I always do manage to get horribly ill when I have planned time off from work.....never fails.
