June 28, 2010: Monticello MotorClub full course....

We got 2 great days at the new track in Monticello NY on the full course. We had only done the short course last year, the full is awesome! R32 is a bit underpowered there, and with stock suspension and street Hankook's, it could have done better. But overall I was very happy, I got a video done, with GPS, HD video and OBD2 port info and the video is awesome. I will try and get the shortcut on here. I ran a 3:06 on the full course, not too bad i guess. I definately need better tires for next year, probably an RSB, and some more power! Any ways, the car is at 29,338 miles or so, and still running great! I put nitrogen in the tires for MMC, but they still got awfully hot and climbed up to 46psi from 37 cold. Rolling back with Paul Bondy in his GTI and Bob Trachy in his older passat was an episode. Bot was rolling slow, paul and i a bit quicker. But any ways, coming over a hill I got on it when traffic finally cleared to get into a 1 lane work zone in front of all of the slower cars. Paul did the same, but he got busted at 104mph by a state trooper! It sucked for sure, as we had been held up for miles by a fat chick in a jeep in the left lane! So Paul pulls over when the trooper made a rushed turn around from the other side, and the trooper held him there for 30 minutes. Bob and I continued, and up in the mountains we came up on some old (challenger and duster) cars cruising at 55mph. The back ends were all jacked up, big tires, etc. I followed for as long as i could (bob was driving slower), then i took off. The duster tried to follow but the r32 in the mountains is pretty quick. I passed a local cop at 80mph but he never turned around! Tchuess.....
