[Supras] More Track vids (VIR)...

[Walker, Brian (Rich. Dist)]

In case anyone's interested, here are a couple of vids from last weekend
at VIR. First event in intermediate group so I was a little slow at
first (yes I pointed a Miata by that was on line when I was way off) but
I got up to the group's speed the next session. Most of the cars were on
R compounds including a couple cammed up Minis making over 200 to the
wheels. I really didn't think I'd do 90+ through the climbing esses but
I was able to keep the car feeling settled while doing it.  The
instrucor recommended the move to race tires but I'm going to try my
grippier Azenis next time out since there should be some more speed in
those. Also need to work on braking late into the corners, there should
be quite a bit more time at the end of the straights then. Also, the car
did pull better on the straights (passing the SVT Cobra in the first
vid) so I'm thinking the new clutch helped.

The old engine hit 198k just before the weekend, so did the 98' Tacoma
I'm towing with  :) I sometimes feel bad pushing this hard with the
miles it has, especially when an M3 blew a head gasket in front of me.
