MIVE Track Day at Grattan Raceway (56K BEWARE - TONS OF PICS)

Hey guys, one of my co-workers invited me to goto the MIVE (Michigan Volkswagen Enthusiasts) Track Day at Grattan Raceway in Belding Michigan this past weekend. So I figured i'd post some pics for you guys incase you were interested. I didn't race my own car because I'm low on cash, but I got to go in some of my other friend's cars. I took most of the pictures with my friend's Canon EOS Rebel XTi incase anyone was wondering, and yes i know i suck at photography ;P



There's my civic, wish I had the money to take her on the track...

My co-worker Bryan with his MKV GTI

My friend Ryan's Mustang


Me in my friend's BMW M Coupe



Me looking like an idiot



Funny pic cus me and my car are in it, but i'm in the BMW in the distance!

















The ONLY 8th civic Si there!














The black evo was a monster, so fast!









All in all it was a great day and we had a lot of fun even though the rain kinda sucked. I'll be racing my own car next time for sure

Here's a video of the 8th Gen on track. Kind of stinks because of the rain on the windshield, but you get the idea.

YouTube - M.I.V.E. Track Day - Grattan 2008

I ran in the D Group (Instructors and such) and the Civic was on stock Michelin Summer tires, Hawk HP+ pads in front, stock pads in the rear, factory alignment. No bolt on's, no mods.

It was a good day even though it rained. I'm looking forward to a dry event this year to really see what the car can do.

Thanks,

Kevin
