Cool Willow Spring Int'l Raceway RR FG2 Shots (Plenty of Pics)

Hey 8th!

I went tracking with NASA about a week ago and made some time to upload shots that my friends and I took.

Willow Spring Int'l Raceway was a ton of fun, and it developed a lot of confidence in taking turns at well over 100 mph.

Some of the shots are blurry because my camera-saavy buddy didn't know how to focus the picture. Nonetheless, I hope you all enjoy some of the shots!

My car before track day (props to Mikey6p):



And the track pics:





















Some drifting

































There's also a YouTube video of one of my laps:

Thanks again for looking!

it's a crapload of fun, and after three track days, NOT ONCE did my car get damaged. my friend (who drives the grey fit) doesnt even tape his headlights anymore.

i strongly encourage hitting the track up. pretty darn safe experience.

paint taping is fun. you gotta have it so you can write your car number on your side panel

Can we can get pictures of you camera setup, I want something similar but a external mic so that the wind doesn't mess up the beautiful sound of vtec.

sorry about the wind noise in the video...i have another video on youtube at streets of willow where there is little wind noise because i mounted the camera on the front dash rather than the rear windshield.

the camera mount i used is from stickypod which can be bought at stickpod.com . a lot of people i met at the track with camera mounts use it.
