It was fantastic and close to home too. The track surface was as good as the last time I was there with my 545 two years ago. As we get more used to the track we can run faster and harder without having to wonder how much pavement is left before you're in the weeds. There was plenty of wild turkeys and deer to keep things interesting.
I was disappointed that I could not get faster top speed runs with my car even with the speed limiter removed as part of the Dinan software package; but I guess 384 HP can't start to compete with the 507 HP M5's and 7000 FT was not long enough for me to get passed 160 without having to start braking. I'll try the 100 octane next time.
We did learn a lesson today- The cops now have traffic cameras that they use to monitor traffic, which in turn they can send cop interceptors out. This happened today but no tickets were issued and it happened without them using laser or radar.
Great great time, with a great group of enthusiasts (including some brand X guys)
