Racing TSX’s at the Mid Ohio Race School
Hold the revs
Drop the clutch
Smoke the tires
Now, wide open throttle
The start finish straight
It is the Turn one approach
Entry, apex and exit
It all matters now
Feed the steering, slowly
The yaw builds
Steady state transients
The rear steps out, rather quickly
So, react. Counter steer.
Not too much
Turn two goes the other way
Will you compromise?
Your braking point
For a cleaner exit?
Then brake, brake hard
Before the turn
Not during and not after
Down shift, 3rd or 4th!
Watch the revs
Shift before the limiter hits
The elevation changes
Watch you inners
The camber is now clutch
And finally, look ahead
Anticipate the next turn
Turn with your mind
Look so far ahead
Make the boundaries disappear
Let the track become you
Eliminate the fear
Eliminate the doubt
Eliminate the ground rush
Man you get paid to do this! How was it? I might go to a track day too.
Man,you love this don’t you?!!
Nikhil : It was simply fantastic. First time on a professional race track and having pro drivers teach was a good thing to start with. But having A Spec TSX’s to race all day was just brilliant. Completely redeemed my car buying decision!
I highly recommend a track day but would stay away from pushing your car. Mostly for the wear and tear and other because it would be blasphemy with your kind of transmission.
Avanti: Yes, There is just no other 🙂
I know you will never forgive me for going with auto tranny 😀
But its a commuter car for me.
I was actually thinking of taking the bike.
I just loved the last 9 lines…they seem to say it all. Thats wat its all abt. Nothing more, nothing else.
Simply awesome. Keep the adrenalin flowing.
Luv,
