build diary

April 30, 2007: Now this is why I built the Seven.
This, plus fun on the racetrack. It's easy to get the impression that the car is almost exclusively a track trailer queen, and it's certainly doing a whole lot of that. But it does get out to play once in a while, and it's good at playing. The difference is that on the road, I don't get to push things much. There's a whole level of the Seven's performance that can only be accessed on the track. The first time Janel rode in the car on track, her impression of the car changed dramatically - she had no idea of the rabid hard edged performance that was hidden inside.

Naturally, Bill and I had a bit of fun on this road. It's about 40 miles of twists and turns and I know it pretty well. We had traffic on the way in to Moab, but we got a pretty clear run on the way back. For some reason, the Miata that was also running with us took a bit longer to get to the end of the road.
