This was another ASRA event. I worked as a flag person at turn 12 in the afternoon for exchange of some free track time in the morning. Not too bad of a deal. Ran this one on my street tires because my race tires are corded. Unfortunately I didn't get any video of me driving at this event.
March 19, 2000: "Firebird International Raceway (East "Test" track)" - Chandler, AZ
This is a great track and a great group. Some friends and I ran with the Viper Days Club here. In exchange for being a corner worker in the morning they gave away some track time, plus a free catered lunch, and a transponder which was a smoking deal considering the entry fee for the two days was $625! Should have video from this event in the next few weeks so check back.
January 9, 2000: "Phoenix International Raceway" - Avondale, AZ
First race of the new millenium! Besides seeing a new friend wreck his car into the wall at turn 1 and the engine problems I experienced this was a very good day. I even knocked 4 seconds off my previous best lap time at PIR! Be sure to check out my new videos from this track!
November 27, 1999: "Phoenix International Raceway" - Avondale, AZ
This track is more fun IMO than Firebird and the nice thing is it's local! It's a 1.51 mile road course and utilizes a little more than half of the 1 mile oval track. The same one that the IRL and NASCAR guys race on!
November 20, 1999: "Firebird International Raceway (Big track)" - Chandler, AZ
Finally got a chance to do another open track event and I had a blast again. The best thing was it was a local event! My very first time on this 1.6 mile road course and I kicked some butt out there! Check out my VIDEO (15.4MB) here.
July 24-25, 1999: "Willow Springs" - Rosamond, CA
My first road racing event. Had an absolute blast and even ended up taking a 3rd place trophy home doing "Time Trials" in the 1600-2499cc class. I was stoked! I don't have much as far as pictures go but here is a VIDEO (16.2MB) of my friend Brandon driving his Civic HX for a lap around the track.
