Barnacules Lapping Day at The Ridge in Shelton, WA - Stage 2 Subaru WRX STI
I attended the Ridge Racing School in Shelton, WA to take a driving skills class and turn some laps on there world class track. The experience was amazing to say the least and it illustated just how capable the Subaru STI is as a track car. My instructor was Chris Mason who is a very skilled driver who took me from a very jerky driver to a smooth driver turning much faster lap times by the end of the day.
I was able to hit around 130 mph on the 1/2 mile straight before entering turn one on many of the laps in the video which I was very impressed with. The camera doesn't do the speed justice because some of the forces that I felt on the turns in the video made me thing the car was going to spit me out the side :) I hope you enjoy this video and if you are in the area you should certainly go try this track out. Just tell Fred that Jerry sent you when you call!
The website is www.ridgeracingschool.com and there prices are more then reasonable when compared to other tracks. Many of the other racers there that day commented on the track as being amazing and they were regulars of other popular tracks like Leguna Seca so that is a testiment to how technical and clean this track is.
I appologize for the audio but the camera being external on the car turned out to be a bad idea and all you hear is high speed wind (oops...). Next time I hit the track I will keep another camera in the car with me so the engine sound can be heard.

2012 Circuit Spa Francorchamps 06 Subaru STi Subaru Trackday
18Mar2012
This is my first time making a video. This was the Subaru track day for all subarus around europe. I did a total of six laps, but i shortened the video to get to the good parts. First lap was warm up and feel for the track (which was wet and slick due to rain and humidity). Second lap was better than the first for obvious reasons, third lap is where I had a close call with a car that was in front that spun out on a downhill S curve. At the rate of speed I was going, plus elevation and slick track, i had no choice but to let the car slide to avoid hitting the wall to the cars right, or getting onto the grass (which is wet, slippery, plus 50mph = no bueno). Overall it was a good experience, great turn out, some really fast cars and good people. 6:22 into the video is where it shows the almost would be accident.
