I know I'm new here, but I thought I'd share my recap on my track day at the Streets of Willow last Friday with Speed Ventures. First of all, I use my DB8 (Integra GS-R Sedan) for racing, not my GE8. I started attending HPDE (High Speed Driving Events) back in March, so I'm still a noob to road racing. Anyway... I was excited to finally come back to the track after my last event back in July. Here are some of the highlights:

1st Session:
1) 1st warm up lap felt good.
- My Project Mu bads still feel
- RT-615s still had a good amount of grip
- Engine felt a little hesistant passed 6500 RPM
2) 3rd lap
- At corner exit on turn 3, I hit the throttle and the engine stopped revving at around 7000 RPM
- CEL went off
- Exited the track and headed back to the paddock
- Let the engine cool
- Turn off the engine
- Turned engine back on and the CEL was gone

2nd Session:
1) Again, the first two laps were great
2) Right after turn 2, the engine cuts off again at around 7000 RPM
3) Exited the track
4) Retired for the day

Afterwards, I did an ECU jump test and the CEL coded that there was something wrong with my oxygen sensor. So the DB8 will be getting a new one this week. I hope to come back to SOW in December for a little revenge...

Since I was only out for two sessions, the photographer didn't get any shots of my and my DB8, except for when I was exiting the track. Which was a pretty lame shot with me putting my left fist out the window to signal that I was exiting. However... My friend did manage to take one good picture of me right after last turn/skid pad, right before the front straight away. He also took a pic of a black GT-R R35.

Enjoy!

dood, but you are taking the GE the next event right?!?!? also, what class did you run?

 

Haha! No, I'm planning to take the DB8. The GE8 is only for daily driving.
