About 125-130 on the main straights and 110 or so in turn 1/2... I just padded my braking zone quite a bit and didn't push the limits too hard. You're not racing anyone, so your pace is really up to you. If someones on your tail, you give them a point by. Its really a safe environment to learn the limits of both yourself and your car. My car wasn't even running right that entire track day nor well sorted, but I still had a blast. Turned a 2:12.586 for the day.

It's not as safe as autocrossing, but a LOT more fun and you get a lot more seat time. Sessions are about 30 minutes and you get a 1-2 hour break between them to work on your car/rest whatever. There is a zero tolerance policy with unsafe drivers or people driving like idiots out there. Speedventures really is a great group to run with and Aaron runs a tight ship.

What is your tire setup?
That is great!! I am much more drawn to a track day than I am to Auto X, but have not done either. It seems like a track day gives you a bunch more seat time and an opportunity for some real speed and driving.

On the car now, Nitto 555's, 235 35 19 and 275 35 20

Do you run a power steering cooler on your car?
