3 laps in a Huracan

[Mikepol2]

For Father's Day my wife and kids got me 3 laps at Pittsburgh International Race Complex in a Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4. It was raining and we weren't allowed to go full out but it was still a fabulous morning for a car geek. 5 minute video of the session with audio from the instructor and me, plus a vid from the spectator's area. Whoever did the last brake job on that thing needs to be a little more liberal with the anti-squeal grease LOL! Definitely the lowest car I have ever gotten into. The experience was very similar to a 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo I drove a few years ago; AWD, similar power and handling. That low CG and AWD inspires an amazing amount of confidence. The shove in the back felt about the same as my car with the blower but not just at the top of the powerband like my car, it was much more linear. Surprisingly and disappointingly a bit on the quiet side, would love to hear that thing really sing. Now I have the bug to get my car out there, but would not want to do it unless I installed long tubes to keep from melting the cats, and got a good set of track wheels and tires.

Pfft. Alls I get are socks. I keep sneaking in the talk of a supercharger into every conversation about birthday present, or Xmas present. I keep saying supercharger, but all they hear is socks. The whole " if you really loved me" hasn't worked on anyone yet. Only had the car just a year so I guess I'll keep trying.

insert the ol “better to beg forgiveness than ask permission” here

…and I firmly believe in setting the table early, so to speak
