Kevin A POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Gahanna, Ohio Registered: Sep 2002 Admin Use	posted 04-30-2006 03:36 PM I had a very interesting day today. I was a guest of my Uncle with the Buick Club of Central Ohio at their meet at the Transportation Research Center near the Honda plant in Marysville, Ohio. This is the place: TRC Ohio They allowed us two laps on the 7.5 mile test track. Unfortunately they forbid cameras and cell phones (very stern warning prior to arriving) as I wish I had a picture of me doing 115 MPH on the concave banked curve that was about 1 mile long. To be honest, I had never driven any car that fast. The concave banking makes the car stick and you can actually drive without touching the steering wheel! What was intersting (and set my mind at ease) was that our pace vehicle was a 15 passenger full sized Chevy van! Seeing it do about 120 MPH was weird but assured me that if that thing could do it (50 + year old woman driving it) the Kat could. BTW, over 100 MPH these things are LOUD! ------------------ Kevin Arnold Black '99 Mostly stock - Borla Exhaust, Tom Mills Bumper Removal Kit, F/R mud flaps, Chrome Shiftknob and Chrome Shifter Bezel.
