Road Atlanta

What a weekend! Went up to drive Road Atlanta this past weekend with some good friends. I ended up driving a friend's track prepped AP2 S2000, rather than my own. Maybe that was a bad idea because I now wish my car was setup the same way! The two things that really stuck out to me is the lower VTEC engagement point and how much better his braking is. He is running the Stoptech ST40 kit, while I am on a Wilwood BBK. I am swapping to a more aggressive pad setup (DTC-60s up front) to see if I can replicate it. If I keep having soft pedal issues and extreme pad taper, then I am going to ditch my Wilwood setup. The lower VTEC is a must as well, especially since I have an AP1 with longer gearing.

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the weekend. If you've never driven Road Atlanta I highly recommend it. It's a whole different animal than the FL tracks I'm used to since there are mid-corner elevations changes, blind corners, and a lot of high-speed flat turns. It was a blast to drive. Even after a 2-day weekend, I was ready to go back on Monday morning.

My favorite shot of the weekend. This is at the bottom of Turn 12, going down the mountain(!!) of a hill to the front straight.
