We had a fantastic time yesterday. There was lots of talk all day about the Solstices on stock tires having better times than the cars on "sticky" tires
. There was also lots of talk about how little body roll our cars have....it was great to be close enough to hear the conversations but not let the people know you were a Solstice owner. I did have one very interesting "incident"
. Coming out of a tight right hand bend which opened into a long sweeping right hand curve, I wound Nittany up in first gear and hit second......................you can guess what happened. I had way too much power under me at that point in time. I had a beautiful 360 view of the autox track as I spun while going about 60 mph. It was interesting. Nittany stalled, but fired right back up and finished the run like nothing had happened. I remembered not to hit that bend quite so hot on the rollowing runs. It's amazing to think that my 2.4 has that much power.....I know, I know, I have a tune, a CAI and an after market muffler, but still.......she's still not a GXP. She impressed me anyways.
There are still lots of autox runs left this summer. Think about coming out. The people are great, the facilities are great and the Solstices DEFINITELY attract attention.
Check in later. Devo has an interesting Mazda sign pic for everyone to see
and the got erased from my memory card too!
