Couple things prepping for a track day this weekend- I put some insulation on all the brake lines near my headers. The velcro style sounds easy, but my god was it a PITA. I think I’d rather just open my brake system and rebleed than deal with trying to wrap it and set metal zip…
First trackday of the year last night. Shaking the cobwebs off. No PBs, but set some respectable times. Followed a c8 z06 z07 for a while. Didn’t do too bad considering he had 250hp advantage. My autoblip didn’t like the MC change I made and wasn’t working. I think I need to make the switch…
Nice day out at Blackhawk Farms. I put my old bridge back in so I was running exactly how the car was tuned. Blackhawk is a pretty brutal track for brakes and brakes are really holding me back right now. I think my ER1 pads were getting some pad fade. I think it’s time to…
This weekend was the first day out at a track with all the new stuff- delrin bushings, swaybars f/r, p1 tires, mk60 abs, and probably a few things I’m forgetting. It was a super hot day at Autobahn CC with Revmatch. Probably 90 by early morning and pushing 100 by mid day. First session out…
My last track day of the year was this last weekend. I ended up setting a new PB by about 0.8s. Optimal says I have a 1:18 flat in me on the Catalyst. I was 2nd on transponders for the day, and 14th on Garmin Catalyst leaderboard for the year. No real issues this outing….
Last weekend I was out at Blackhawk Farms again, this time with Northwoods shelby club. Two weekends in a row is a lot for me. However my folks came out from Idaho and I took them to the track with me. My dad got to ride on the track for the first time with me….
Another day, another PB. It was a relatively cool day out at the track starting at 60 in the morning and up to about 80. The first session the previous session had someone drag oil halfway around the track so it was delayed. Then another breakdown in my session got it black flagged. I’m a…
Back to Autobahn today. Today was really frustrating. Session 1 was great. Ran a 1:37.50, but I forgot to put a memory card in my camera. :\ I was running in advanced group and very little interaction with traffic. Session 2 my car was badly misfiring. I went back to the paddock after 2 laps….
Track Day #2 is in the books. It was my first time out with the car at Blackhawk Farms. I had signed up for Intermediate 2 in order to give myself a little more pace buffer while I learned the track in a new car. The track org did something a little different today. They…
I went to my first track day with the c5 this weekend. I've been to autobahn south enough times that I'm pretty familiar with the line. My previous best in the F82 M4 was 1:38.21. First day out in the new c5 I ran 1:37.94. Down well over 100hp and losing time with shifts vs…
