Track Day at TMS with Panoz
Kind of a last second thing, I just found out about a track event at the TMS infield course a few days ago that was held on Sat. Panoz Racing school was holding one of their "Fast Laps" days. The infield course is only 1.1 miles but pretty fun for a lowly cone shagger like me.
There was a good showing of nice cars out there. I was running in the intermediate/advanced group with a new Viper, C5 Z06 with R-comps, supercharged Mustang Cobra with R-comps, Porsche 911, a couple of S2000s, and a fully gutted raced prepped Yugo, turbo Integra TypeR and an E46 M3.
I was running my fairly stock Miata, still running the stock airbox and springs, with 14" used up Azenis. Funny side note, a friend overheard the M3 driver calling BS on me for only having I/H/E (during the 2nd session I passed him then lapped him later in the session). LOL, I don't even have an intake!
I had a good time, but was very tired by the end of the day. This was my second time at a road course and it's a lot of fun. The miata never ceases to amaze me. What a great car! The Azenis never gave up on me, just got a little greasy during my third session. My Hawk HP+s where great too, they never overheated and took a lot of abuse.
For $95 we got 4 30 minute sessions, the only thing I needed was instruction to see if what I was doing was right. They wanted to charge $25 per session for an instructor. ::Flag::
