    Well i just had my first HPDE experiance at Integra Type R Expo 6 at Gingerman Raceway in MI on the 12th and 13th. to start off, it was a blast, the people, the beating on the cars, the smell of brake pads, it was great. for the most part i learned alot and had a great time. i beat the piss outa my car and it took it all and even got me all the way home (13 hour drive). i got about 3 hours of track time (6 30 min. sessions) and i was even able to pull on a few of the ITRs in my run group. but yea, everybody needs to go out for a HPDE, if your like beating on your car, get some good brake pads + fluid and go for it. Anyway here is some more stuff for your enjoyment. there is already a bunch of picture threads out there so just click on em to check out the pictures inside, its way to much work to move that many pictures over to post here.
