this was at Streets of Willow in Rosamond, CA.
Brakes were stock and shot and tires were All-Season. But damn was it fun trying to keep it all together :D Any feedback is welcome! You aren't pimp till you drive at the track with this on your roof...

Nice shots and cool video...looks like you had a blast!
|
cool. did u have any instruction while there? I highly encourage that next time as I seen in the video a little advice on lines from an instructor could have helped you shave some time and yield higher entering/exiting speeds.
|
looks like FUN!!
|

But I have bad memory and forget what he did, I get lazy and miss the points. I forget how to take it the right way. Wish someone could have helped me more that day :( |

haha well I can't do it too often, feel bad for the fit forcing it to work so hard. lol does the supercharger hold up fine during hard driving? I mean is it a lot of stress on the engine and stuff?

I see a lot of points where an instructor can help you. Some (oh kay, a lot) of the things you need to do on a track to be fast are something you'd never do on the street, so you just don't have any experience doing it.
You had a decent line for the most part, and you could have made up a lot of time by modifying your shifting a bit. If you had dropped down a gear at the right time, you wouldn't have bogged out in the corners as much, and you'd be able to increase exit speed. I wish I would have known about this going on... :( I'm even in LA right now. |
yeah I could definite use 2nd alot more but many instructors at my last event said not to worry too much about it, so I only went all out if a car was coming up on me. Plus I only had 3 hours of sleep and a 100mile drive there so I was tired, even shifting felt like alot of work! haha next time i'll come with SLEEP and more desire to get better!

Props man. Looks like you had a blast!

What was your best time @ the track? Also was there a lot people @ the events? It seems really empty base on your video? SpeedVenture last Friday?

they ran out of transponders :( it was empty because they split it into differnt classes and I was in the beginning group since it was my first time running with Speed Ventures. Maybe they spaced us out alot. Otherwise it was pretty crowded!
|
nice car like the disco ball lol
|
haha thanks! I laid in the back of my car for a good 15 minutes last night just gazing. lol
