Track Picks and video from NASA HPDE and Races in St. Louis

[Dash]

Had a track event last weekend and thought I'd share some pics. Honestly, I hate when can't embed pictures, but the photog has the images right click disabled... which makes sense.

I can't tell you how much I love this car. It's as at home on the race track as it is the street. Every time I track it, I surprise people by it's power and ability to handle the turns and infield compared to cars that weigh less or have more HP. Not to mention with the Roc-Euro Intake it just sounds fantastic.

I ran EBC Yellow Stuff brake pads for the first time and wasn't disappointed. They handled the whole weekend well with little to no fade and performed well across the full temperature band.

Anyway, here's some links to the pics.

Sunday was the best day weather wise...

Good deal. Digging those red wheels. How'd the dip hold up?

Thanks! I always wanted bright track wheels and am very happy with them. The dip held up very well. I was pleasantly surprised. No bubbles, bit melting, no pealing. Still haven't cleaned them... but if it's too tough clean, I'll just peal and paint them again.

It's a very short track and not very glamorous. My times are in the 1:20-1:17 range, which is pretty respectable for a car on basically stock suspension and street tires (Nitto NT-01s). At the end of the front straight I'm going about 125 and turn one speeds for me average mid 90s but I did take it twice at 101 and 102... Just couldn't seem to keep that speed consistent.

One more, that is a nice shot! Might get that one printed out for the office.
