Cool Picture from the weekend

Focusedintntions · 11-07-2011, 07:50 PM

Many thanks to my instructor this weekend as he kicked ass and really had some great useful feedback. He said he browses the forum on here a bit so I thought as a small sign of thanks I'd post this awesome picture of him going into turn 5 at Summit Point that i found browsing a couple other forums.

Love that brake glow!

pixelblue · 11-07-2011, 08:08 PM

Is that Neils car?

Focusedintntions · 11-07-2011, 08:11 PM

Sure is with him driving! I rode with him in his last session. The turn in and the rotation of that car to ours is night and day...so fun!

Franklin Joseph · 11-07-2011, 08:44 PM

Neil, stock suspension?

1SerieStud · 11-07-2011, 10:19 PM

Wow, is that real brake glow or is it the lighting/reflection off the front rotor?

DooBs · 11-08-2011, 06:19 AM

Good question. My guess is that it's stock with the nose going down on braking.

pixelblue · 11-08-2011, 08:51 AM

He was stock two months ago. Not sure if he has done anything since

MusclezMarinara · 11-08-2011, 08:58 AM

That just made my day WOW!

DriveHard · 11-08-2011, 09:29 AM

Thats a nice shot... look at there heads with the foward G's...LOL no wonder my passangers always look like bobble heads LOL

Im going to Summit point this weekend.. Hope to be glowing some rotors my self

Focusedintntions · 11-08-2011, 10:04 AM

I know he's running camber plates with 3 degrees neg. Don't think he has any other suspension stuff though. The car rotates fantastically compared to a 135 though.

MDORPHN · 11-08-2011, 10:19 AM

Yep, it's me! Suspension is stock except for camber plates.

Was running PFC-06 pads (and, obviously, using them hard).

Great picture -- thanks for posting.

Neil

Awesome. I've only seen front rotors glow on real race cars!!

GaryS · 11-08-2011, 11:05 AM

That's my head! LOL

Definitely fun riding with Neil.

MDORPHN · 11-08-2011, 11:20 AM

Enjoyed instructing you guys (Chris and Gary).

BTW, shouldn't it be "hot" picture?

Neil
