 Posted: Tue Nov 25, 2008 3:12 am Post subject: Pics from PCA track day at BIR |
 |
|
I went with a co-worker to a track day at Brainerd International Raceway in northern Minnesota at the end of September. Most of the first day was Driver's Ed., so there was a lot of classroom time. I didn't drive at all, since I didn't have a car. I took a bunch of pictures and started training to become a corner worker for next season. I'm no kepony, but I think I got some decent pictures.

| 944 Turbo S. This is the car I was there with. I got 7 or 8 laps as a passenger. Brainerd is a fairly fast track. This car goes into turn 1 at 140-145MPH. |

| Some sort of weird graffiti bus in the road course infield. BIR also has NHRA nationals, so I think it is some remnant of this summer. |

| The exhaust note was nice. It was a little quieter than I was expecting. I'd like to hear one with a good aftermarket exhaust.

| No cage at 145 with my douche-bag friend's PCA instructor father-in-law driving. I felt pretty safe.
