Grand Opening Post - Fully Depreciated goes to Michelin Raceway

Stoked to have participated in http://www.jzillatrackdays.com/ Pollen Pusher at the end of March. It was my first time on Road Atlanta so it was nerve racking at first. I'm not experienced on tracks so naturally I was in the Novice (green) group. Had James Truett as my instructor and he was a spectacular teacher. By the 3rd session my nerves had settled and I was hitting my brake zones with more confidence. The track itself is exhilarating. The back straight pushed the car past 120 and the down hill sections will help you understand how long it takes for your self preservation instincts to kick in.

It was a fun experience and a great hang. I highly recommend you give it a try if you have the means.

It was also huge moment of validation for me. This was technically the first real shake down of the Mazda post build, and it performed as expected.

Quick run down of the build for the curious: Forged motor from Beltec Perfomance in Canada, BNR S2 turbo, Koni shocks, Eibach springs, DBA/Hawk brakes, Corksport cooling, intake and downpipe, Whiteline bars, Greddy muffler, Bridgemoto seats and steering wheel, and a tune from PurpleDrank. I'm definitely missing stuff.
