Hey, anybody been up there yet this season? I'm going on Monday, but somebody told me the track was still under 3 feet of snow as of recently...

Well I am doing a track day up there on Friday so I hope there isn't any snow on the track. A friend was up there last week for the safety driving school and he said it looked pretty good.

A few laps around NHMS

Track was windy and just downright freezing in the morning (Bring a jacket!). The snow is gone, but track temp was low and there was little grip first session of the day. Speeds were much slower. They warned us about 2 cars that had gone into the wall just on the pace lap the day before.

I also had an issue with air in the brake lines~ I hadn't bled them properly the day before. So my first two sessions were very slow (had to expand my braking zone significantly, plus no confidence in stopping power), the pedal would be on the floor before ABS kicked in.

After an emergency brake bleeding session at the track, the brakes returned to normal and I was back! Video you see is last session of the day.

Day started out rough, but the last session where everything came together made it all worthwile. So exhausted. Can't wait to do it all again!
