Fine matt I finally went to Willow like you told me to!
 

And yes... it was soo fun! :D

It's just a re-post from the pictures and vids thread but i thought i'd put it here since it's local. Any feedback is welcome :rotfl::vtec:

this was at Streets of Willow in Rosamond, CA.

Brakes were stock and shot and tires were All-Season. But damn was it fun trying to keep it all together :D

You aren't pimp till you drive at the track with this on your roof...

And lastly the silly vid :):)

YouTube - 08' Honda Fit @ Streets of Willow - Speed Ventures

Awsome pics dude!

thanks sir! now that i watch it.. i wish my car was more prepped! i got lazy and sloppy cuz i wasnt 100% committed.

Roof-mounted disco ball = instant G-meter! Heheheh :D

Awesome photos Jason, looks like you and your GD enjoyed yourselves out there. I'll watch the vid shortly.

Way to invite jason!! -___- looks like fun!! I'm totally jealous. Hehe...Ahhh the disco ball is pimp!! Lovin it!

can't wait til i go! nice pics man :P and u already saw my comment on the video haha.

yeah it was great! :)

Oh no I knew I forgot to call someone :( it's been so long!

really? which one are you? lol

Finally Jason! I'm proud of you! Overall, good driving.

My only two comments:

1. Your line when taking the blowpass. You're cutting in too early. You should be more to the left before the corner entry and brake in a straight line. Then when you turn in, try to avoid the bump on the inside. Hitting that bump upsets the car and you end up losing traction/time.

2. The bowl. I notice that before going into that corner, you don't downshift to 2nd. You're losing valuable time trying to get throught that corner while being in 3rd. If my calculations are correct, if you downshift to 2nd right before entering the corner, you'll have to upshift to 3rd right after the apex before you start tracking out to the far left. By doing this, you'll carry much more speed going into the chicane.

I did try 2nd a few times that day and it appeared to work very well but I was too lazy. I only did it if a car got close to me. hahaha

Blowpass... where is that?

The blowpass is corner #4. It's a righthand corner. That corner actually has a longer route, but it is usually coned off.

I think I'm going to Adams soon in riverside.

Way to go Jason! glad your taking your car to the track and not the streets/parking lots.

Honestly... not worth the drive. Its a go-kart track.

I agree. Go to a real track. SOW, WSIR, Buttonwillow, etc...

i dunno, Adam's was the first thing I ever took my car to and I thought it was a pretty good experience :) kinda like a stepping ladder to a regular size track. Of course you might outgrow it but try it once if you can and see for yourself. plus it's fun just watching people push their cars there too

BTW, how did that Accord do? My dad has an 09 EX Sedan. Lol!

Konespeed auto-cross' and adams is a step down from that. You actually learn more from autoX than u would at adams.
