FYC!

 

FYC foo!!

 

Damn you Jeff wish I can go..........soon, very, very soon.

 

Wrong pic for the track Jeff. JK!

Car's not ready ... still in the process of rebuilding my race LSD/pumpkin.
I'll still roll out to the track with you (minus my G).

 

tsk tsk tsk!

The only NON FI car I know that goes to the shop more than FI! HAHAHAH

 

LoL!
My car drives absolutely fine. This is the race pumpkin I'm talking about.

How's your car?

 

i'll try to make that one. i wanted to go on friday the 14th, but i may not make it.

 

I think a few of Clint's friends might be going on Friday, I probably will stick to Sunday since I have that day off... I will check how much vacation I have and post back...

 

how many track days have you done , Jeff??

What about driving a Stock G??

how many laps do you get ???

peter

 

what kind of times do you guys pull on that configuration and are you running it the regular direction (CW) or in reverse.

I go once or twice a month:

 

Bump for Jeff...........

We should have more people signing on for this.........

 

Peter,
Stock G's perfectly fine to track.

You'll get at least 4 of 20-minute sessions ... should be more than enough to keep you well satisfied.

 

Hey Peter!

This will be my fifth since April '06. A stock G is 'OK' but you have to be very careful with your brakes, they will faile due to the excessive heat you create at the track. If you go with stock, exit the track the moment you feel any weakness, or just run short sessions so they don't get too hot. The laps depend on the track length, buttonwillow might get about 10+ laps??(per session with 4-5 sessions) I dont know the length yet of Buttonwillow.

Keep in mind most rookies tend to drive well below the limit of their car as they get 'comfortable' driving - gotta bring the car home! Just take it easy and have fun...

 

Pantablo,
This is my first time to Buttonwillow. I ran the following:
Laguna Seca - 1:58
Horse Theif - 1:05
Willow Springs - 1:49
Spring Mountain - 3:50
(Clint, I think I omitted your better times)
