Rc on the track

1/27/08

May step na ang aking racing "career" from kart to car. Yesterday I conquered Subic International Raceway. Wala naman talagang race, It was just the track day of Mitsulancerph. The day started with a short racing basic lecture headed by the Kookie Ramirez, the son of Philippine racing legend Pocholo Ramirez. Sobrang astig niya. down to earth and ang bait, nakakwentuhan ko siya nung race proper na, idol na kita sir Kookie. anyway after the lecture we did some practice runs, ng whole course. then we had lunch. then timed runs na using the short course.

I had a very good timed run, sabe ng mga kasama ko. Sabi nila having a time of 1 min and 1 sec. for a first timer with all stock OEM components is amazing. Syempre ako naman upon hearing it super ngiti na kase at least alam ko na tama ang mga turns ko sa track. Nakatulong na rin siguro yung experience ko sa karting para makakuha ng magandang oras. Pero ibang iba pa rin yung kart sa real car.

Overall experience is 10/10. medyo magastos lang talaga kase I tuned up the car, tapos gas, food and toll pero sulet pa rin kase iba talaga ang experience.

Now I know to discipline myself on the roads kase I have tested the limits of my car and my driving on the road. so pag may naghahamon saken ng karera sa kalye eh pagtatawanan ko nalang. at sasabihin na "Do it on the track and not on the streets" lol. Seriously I learned a lot from this experience specially the importance of concentration and control over the car.


Here are some pics of the event. thanks to sir raymond for the shots. kulang pa yang pics na yan. wala pa dyan yung galing sa cam ko.
