pfoyle Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Yesterday: Great Legacy get together over in Auburn... so great to meet you all and see your rides. Today: Lamborghini autocross from Imagine Lifestyles at Gillette Stadium parking lot. 6 laps around their parking lot auto-x track in a Lambo Gallardo LP-560! So excited... I've been up since 5:30, willing the hours to pass faster! If anyone is local and wants to come check out some pretty cars (will be some Ferraris there too... maybe even a 599), I'll be in parking lot P-10 at Gillette Stadium (1 Patriot Place, Foxboro) from 9:30 till about 11:30... my track time is 10am. Can't. Wait. :spin::spin: Pics and videos to follow later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfoyle Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Extremely fun (albeit rainy) morning at Gillette Stadium today! Constantly fighting with traction control, especially at the top of the straights where I'd try to got to WOT (expecting a manageable amount of tail wagging), but the car's computer wouldn't let me... but still an amazingly good time. Ended up with 3 laps in Lambo Gallardo 560, 4 laps in Ferrari F430 (added lap after I caught up to the driver in front of me) and 3 more laps in Gallardo (because helmet cam was cockeyed and I was "not satisfied" with the video I had paid for ). First laps (helmet cam and external video) in Gallardo was just feeling out car/track and limits of traction control. Next 4 laps (helmet cam and external) in F430 were a bit different due to RWD and even more aggressive traction control. Final 3 laps in Gallardo I really got to push it a bit... much faster, a bit of counter-steer required (especially at 2:33 of final video, you can actually see me correct the wheel and the car/windshield view twitches), and better anticipation of the instructions of "brake" "wot" etc... Such a good time!
