Just wanted to share some videos and pictures of yesterday's track event that I attended with David (4sevens) at Little Talladega. First off is David catching a 2012 Nissan GTR, the second video I took while riding along in the GTR later on in the day, and third is of David being chased by APR's Audi S4. I'm in the middle of processing and uploading the pictures and putting together a compilation video of some of the other cars that were there. I know Danny has some pictures and videos too.

It was an awesome day! Thanks again to David for letting us come hang out and help out! After driving his Miata to the track, on the track, and back again, I want an LSx Miata in my life. :)

LS6 miata FTW! That thing sounds amazing...I'm so very jealous. Of course, all of the cars sound incredible. That Audi...all I can say is WOW!

Great videos, I enjoyed watching them. The Audi S4 sounds mean as hell, like a jet doing a fly by.

I think the brakes were putting off a little heat:

For such small track, mechanical grip (tread width) is critical for good lap times. The 225's one the miata just didn't do justice. I turned better times with my M with 275/285's. Now on a warm track with 275 R6's would be completely different story. :D

I am going to need a ride in the M after the Supercharger is installed! That thing should be a beast! Hope everything goes smooth with the install!
