Sti Driving Around Portland International Raceway

[HellzMindPlaya]

Yeah, more or less sighting laps. It wasn't really a track day as much as it was a day for everyone who wanted to get a look at the track. There is a pace car leading this pack at highway speeds and instead of costing the normal ~$200 for a track day the 3 laps only cost $10. This was filmed at the opening day (of the season) for PIR

[dasbroose]

Oh man, car track days look slow. What was this, all sighting laps? Headed to ride PIR myself soon!

[tiger0tank]

@sodapop503: nope you just turn up in your own car, pass tech, pay an entrance fee put on a helmet and blast around the track.

i was following along u guys in nfs pro street and the tress and crap were nearly the same!

[Versingetrix]

trackdays the only way to go...100% WOT, no BS. Get in a trackday, learn to do it, and have some fun!! Not that expensive either, and special equipment not required!

[sodapop503]

@Versingetrix I thought you had to do some pretty expensive classes before you can do that.

The straight away at PIR would be really fun if you had a really fast car that can pull! I like the U turn probably the best. The first and sec turn looks complicated...

[toyodriver2004]

I want to be able to go ride at the PIR track... I don't have the car or the money. I have a good friend of mine who is an instructor there. He owns an acura integra that he drives at PIR. I have been to PIR once with him and he is a pretty good driver, although his car isn't very fast, but it handles really well. I have heard they bumped the price up, it's like $200 to drive your vehicle at PIR?

[Racr4Lyfe]

Wait did PIR close or something? And how do you get in there to race? Are you racing?

[NutWarrior]

no they repaved it and no hes not racing track day

[IntegraVSR]

How did you fit an 8minute+ video on here?

I have a video from in my car from the same day at PIR but youtube says it's too big and it's only 7 minutes long.

Is this the STi that had the "Perrin" decal?

[HellzMindPlaya]

Yes this is a video from inside the STI with the big Perrin Sticker.

If you want to upload a movie bigger than 100 MB press the Upload button just a little below the top right of the page and then about halfway down that page you will see something that says "Use Multi-video uploader". Install what it asks and then you can upload it. max is 10 min, 1 GB. Because of the quality of my camera the video was about 950 something megabytes but it all uploaded, just took overnight.

[Exploderdude]

Yeah, I wish I'd gotten there earlier, only got time for two sessions but luckily I got in very front on the first, and the very back on the second. Hope you can get your vids up, it'd be nice to see some other footage from that day.

[IntegraVSR]

I'll try uploading them tomorrow.

[IntegraVSR]

I was there, definitely a fun day.

[Sparky1881]

at first i'm thinking, "damn, that boxer rumble sounds distinctly familiar." then, i slap myself in the forehead when i recognize the voices of the 3 people in the car. haha. i'm an idiot. next time you go, gimme the keys-- i'll show ya the proper racing line :) lol

[Exploderdude]

Good thing I was able to go! I'm re-tuning probably next week, so I'll be ready for the first real track day.
