Took my MS3 to Elkhart Lake, WI last weekend. Great event w/ NASA at Road America.
The car handled like a dream, she was very stable up to 125 MPH which I hit on all three straights. I only regret that I wasn't more aggressive but I did want to come back w/ the car in one piece.
The event took place on a Saturday and Sunday. We had four runs each day and each session was 20 minutes long for a total track time of 160 minutes.
On the 2nd day I used close to a full tank of gas on the 4 sessions. I calculated this to be a half gallon of gas per lap (4.048 miles) or 8 miles/gallon.
The track on the first session of day 2 was very slippery so everyone was going slow and learning the wet line. RX8 and 350z went off track

By the 2nd session the track had dried up. This session I passed a red Ferrari and Honda civic (part 1) and orange 350z and orange mustang and blue RX8 (part 2).

The track was dry again on the 3rd session. No traffic except a black corvette that passed me on the last lap. This was probably my fastest lap times of the weekend (3 minutes/lap)
