Pictures of Summit Point 3/15/96 in Rain
 |
March 15th was Seat Time. An open track day at Summit Point. We had hoped for nice weather, but we only got one 20 minute session that was almost dry. The other 5 sessions were wet, and slippery. It was a great day to learn about your car, and how to slide around the track in a controlled manner. |
| The only bad news for us was the sudden appearance of burning oil when letting off the throttle. Looks like the engine may need some work done to it in the coming months. It still pulled strong, and no obvious damage was done. |

These pictures were all taken at Turn 10. Steve (the photographer) was staying under cover at the stand located on the corner. It was pretty wet the whole day, and I spent a lot of time sliding around. I had two close calls, once when a 300ZX TT slid off the track into the tire wall. |
| And once when a kitcar Austin-Healey (302 V8, fiberglass, etc) spun right in front of me at Turn 3. I got both on in-car video, so I may post MPEGs here once I get that worked out. |
