Some Fun in Reno... Reno-Fernley Raceway that is...

[James OLC]

So a couple of weeks ago Rodger from Ironworks and I were fortunate enough to spend the weekend at the Reno-Fernley Raceway which is a really challenging 4 plus mile long road course in the middle of the desert.. Something like 23 corners and 30 plus apexes and 150ish feet of elevation change. I'll work on getting some pictures up soon but for now here are some short videos that will give you some idea what it was like...

This was a performance driving school put on by the NorCal UFO club and we were fortunate to have Fast Mary Pozzi as our instructor for the weekend.

That was good stuff James. You car sounded so good when I waved you by on the front stretch. 7000rpm at 135 always sounds good sailing into turn one.

Yeah - there were three straights where we were in triple digits. I was tickling the rev limiter in 4th at the end of the front straight and could have gone to fifth but the car felt better in the S's in fourth so I gave up some speed there. With 3.73's the gearing would have been perfect.

Here is the track map for the day:

We had some interesting conversations with the GM of the track - hopefully we'll be back next year.
