Captured some early fall colors in the mountains east of Boulder.

 

I thought that looked familiar. We went up to St.Malo's for a short visit a couple of week ago.Nice pics!

 

Nice pics Josh!

 

Gorgeous pictures! Thanks for posting them. And did you mean the mountains west of Boulder?

First six years of my life were spent in Keystone and Breckenridge. Words cannot express how much I miss those mountains....

 

Nice pics of our lovely state Josh. I'm surprised I haven't seen you driving round. I'm over in the Westminster-Thorton area alot. Great car!

 

Wow, that last picture is a work of art! I love the pictures. Colorado is looking great, just moved away from there last year and I definitely miss the skiing. Do you hit up the mountains much?

 

Woops! I did mean west of Boulder. It's just such a backwards city, I got all turned around! Thanks for the compliments, guys, beautiful day up there and with the moisture this state received this year some of the brightest colors we've ever had.

I went up there with the wife for a relaxing drive, but had to mix in bedding in the EBC RedStuffs (got new Roush TrackPak rear rotors, too) for the trip to High Plains Raceway for my first HPDE, it was a blast! Here's some photos from the event:

 

Very cool! Awesome Pics!

 

Sweeet!

 

Awesome pictures

Definitely makes me miss living out there!!

 

Amazing pictures!!! I'm really liking those wheels.

 

Thanks! Got the wheels cause they're pretty light for a 20, but wondering if I should get something a bit more stylish. Still, though, I sorta like the basic 5 spoke design, and they look even larger on the car than most 20s. Lighter wheels would cost a whole lot more, too.

 

I agree on the attractiveness of the simple styling of the 5 spoke design. The only other 20s that I dig are the Shelby Alcoa's on the KR. I like the Shelby razors too, but they are too busy for my particular tastes. They look great, but just not me.

 

All said and done, simple looks really good on these cars.

 

Sweet pics! I like that last one with the Lotus chasing after ya!

 

Good, cause I didn't post the one where he was past me! Actually, he never did pass me, but was in front of me on a different session.

Freaky car there was a green new beetle someone had completely tricked out, full roll cage, Audi S3 turbo engine, race suspension, arrived on a trailer. From the outside looked normal. Could barely keep up with him on the straight!

 

Which run group were you in? I didn't make it out with the NASA guys this season or last, I've really been slacking.

 

I'm new to it, so I was in HPDE1. The next event is on Halloween out there, 1 or 2 days:

Unfortunately I won't be able to make that either. Heading to Cabo San Lucas for much needed relaxation on Halloween.

Who was your instructor, if you don't mind me asking?

 

First guy was Chuck Taylor, apparently quite known nationally and a successful racer.

Second guy was Rich Lavender, actually lives close to where I do, gave a lot of useful advice, and a ride in his Z06 Vette, wicked fast! Nearly made me sick and we only went 20 of the 30 minute allotment; has sticky Kumho and race pads on, and the car was dialed in, he was passing people left and right.
