Deal, did somebody say Deal? Oh, Dean, yeah that's me.
Default What I did this weekend...

Drove my car around Miller Motorsports Park with only a GT3 and a Lotus Exige that were a smidge faster in the instructor group, and the former's line was awful with just the car saving him, and the later wound so tight it blew an engine in the heat, Awwww.... Did I mention I was on my 255 Azenis and them on R compounds???

Drove somebody else's Noble around Miller Motorsports Park with encouragement to see what it could do.

Did a repeatable 152 MPH (per STI notoriously high Speedometer) on Bonneville Speedway... That appears to be my car's terminal velocity when fully loaded with race tires, track gear and a sloshing cooler on a well worn mixed set of 225/45-17 Azenis 215 and 615s. Crosswinds on salt at 120+ on mostly bald tires make it very interesting... Spending an hour hosing the salt out from the wheel wells and under the car was well worth it...

Edit:

I forgot, also drove over Guardsman Pass between Park City and Brighton in the Wasatch Range. The road up from Park City to the summit is dirt/medalled road and summits at 9710ft. While I wasn't sliding it around like Alex, he should be happy I got the bald Azenis dusty... The drive down the Brighton side was amazingly beautiful.

Ahhh....
