I'm OK with it. Ran over the curbing at 90+ at the kink at Carolina Motorsports park.

It looks like a fun & fast track to drive




Does your class run the full course?

Is the track near to your home?

How many shows will you run this year?

Other tracks also on the schedule?

Post up some more photos when you have the time ok?

In order:

Yes

5 hours from my house but 5 min from a RR we own

Probably going to run 5 events, maybe as many as 7. Only two at CMP though.

Other tracks on the schedule this year are Road Atlanta, Roebling Road, NCCAR, and Charlotte Motor Speedway.

More pics as events warrant!

This is a great way to have fun with your car no matter your skill level or tolerance for car damage. The group is NASA (National Auto Sport Association) Southeast, and the website is NASA :: South East Region

Come have fun!

Not just you. Must be an optical illusion because my car stays flat to the road... Or he's using shocks off an old Mustang?

I think what he means although it is hard to tell in the photo, that the two right sides are up on a slightly inclined curbing, so gives the illusion of weight transfer rollover.
