[s-cars] Gratton raceway report...

[elijahallen92 at aol.com]

I was a Grattan for the weekend in my Stage 3+ 01 S4 Avant on street tires. Thank god I put big brakes on the car. The car ran great but definately needs to be sorted out suspension wise. The coilovers I have on it didn't have near enough dampening so the car was, well interesting. On another note I got to take Mike's Champion Cup (Bell's B5 Racecar) out to give a couple people rides and oh my god!!! The car was nothing like any audi I've ever driven (of course). The car had incredible turn in and a ton of oversteer, it took a couple laps to get used to because the rear of the car was so easy to bring out just by turning the steering wheel so the tight spots on the track were very fun to bring the rear out and mash the gas to come rocketing out of each turn with alot more speed than anything on the track with me. The clutch in the car only pushes down about one inch so you have to push it down and plant your heal and feather with your toe to get the thing going, otherwise the
 re was no way to let off gentle enough using your whole leg like we're used to. The seats are on the floor so you sit very low and the pedals are raised up so they are straight in front of your waist, it felt strange at first but it was actually very comfortable once hammering through the track. Fun Fun!!!!!!!!!
