I say Pete sends his pics to Ron so he can add them to the discs he sends to those on the list

Pete took some sweet pictures, the kids got some skills!!!

As for the best advice I was giving by Chris the pro driver, he said he loved my lines, just to be even more aggressive with them .. I was staying off the concrete pads in the corners rather then using them .. he also said I needed to be more sensitive with the accelerator coming outta turns cuz my car was getting swirly ..

Rob, I need your snail mail so I can send you my videos. Even compressed they are about a gig each!

Man I had a blast! A new found addiction for sure. I talked to my wife about selling the Charger and Challenger and buying a Viper.
Overall I can't thank ROb and Dan enough for putting this event together. The sponsers were awesome and I can only suggest making these events like a 2-3 day thing.
Perhaps a car show and get together one day, then 2 track days, one for the all out guys and another for the conservative. I feel more time is needed.

Now about the event itself. My car did great, the new tires the better brakes. My instructor Scott was beyond awesome. He really talked about the line, how to get in, stay in the line and why. I was nervous at first, bring a 4200+ pound car from 90 to 50 to make a 90* turn was challenging at first. After getting the feel for it I was able to stay in teh gas longer and get on teh and off the brake latter. I only got to 124ish on the straight away though. My tune was off and I got blacked flaged for the smoke, but my A/F is like 9.71:1 under WOT so I am loosing power there.
Upgrades, more brake upgrades a MUST! I am also thinking about a stroker. I do need to put a tranny cooler on because my protorque generated enough heat to spit fluid out the vent. That ended my day so I didn't get to go out the last time.
I'd do this again in a heartbeat, just give me time to build up my car some (at least brakes and trans cooler).
I have some pics and vid I'll post up once converted.

**Mymopar** · 04-01-2009, 12:11 PM

Who should I send the pics and video too, I need a mail address also.

**RobAGD** · 04-01-2009, 12:40 PM

PM Justice Pete and Eric at Arrington about where to send the video and pictures disk.

-R

**Sota** · 04-01-2009, 12:55 PM

Rob... I want to make sure I'm on the appropriate list too for that disc.

**RobAGD** · 04-01-2009, 01:44 PM

John for teh DVD email me your shipping address and Ill add it to the word Doc I am sending Pete.

-R

**Sota** · 04-01-2009, 02:36 PM

done... I think. :D

**TTMR** · 04-01-2009, 07:24 PM

Coupple of pics from the *snore* trip home

Looking forward to NOT seeing the PA Turnpike again soon!

**Mymopar** · 04-01-2009, 07:28 PM

Hold on, I think I missed something. Are you telling me the fastest lap at the NJMP was done by an all wheel drive v-6 Magnum? Or is that the fastest one that had used a timer?

**TTMR** · 04-01-2009, 07:36 PM

Fastest that we know of, other than the pro at the helm of the 426 powered 300. BigJim was faster than me the first 4 times out, but on the 5th I was MUCH faster than before so I don't know where we would have been relative to each other as he decided to sit number 5 out. 06hotrod has some videos that run in the low 1:20s but while I don't doubt his skill, car or honesty I'm not 100% conviced on the accuracy (video play back speed) as his times are so close to that 300. I would guess that the wheels, suspention and pro driver would account for more than just a couple of seconds.
