lots of cars at autobahn race track and some vids

[sickmint79]

went to autobahn with laps/audi car club. not sure how the 2 mix i'm under the impression laps runs days for car clubs that don't rally enough troops on their own (?) - one guy had a a3 zipcar with tape over the logos. kinda surprised they don't track those things well enough to see something like this. some pics from that day, my first at autobahn in some time. best lap was a 3:04.9, felt more comfy with the track by the end of the day that's fer sure.

fleet cars




drivers














my rig


buddy jeff, quite fast



went monday with mvp -
lots of power cars here that is for sure. always see vettes but a zillion here. 4 vipers. few imports overall, only 1 s2k. 1 token from each luxury brand - except bmw, i counted 23. if it wasn't clear which of those owners actually drove their cars...

think i may have had the gtr if it didn't pit off and stayed on to south. my fastest session, it was the last and i was trying to chase people down, had a solid set of fast laps in a row, at least fast for me.

i'll change it before the next track day although i assume the amsoil 0w20 synthetic is actually pretty safe.

Good turnout on Monday and the weather didn't disappoint!

I saw in the other thread that the code went away on its own. In the name of science it makes me glad we didn't clear it.

i added a coil on to the order i placed for that oil cooler kit anyway...

i did wide open throttle on 94 a few times and it didn't come back. hopefully it stays that way but i'll have it for now. have you thrown the code?

No, I haven't, knock on wood. Never hurts to have a spare, just in case.
