Here is one more video from the Track Day event last Friday. This one I shortened up from the last one. This is the 3rd session and I was picking up speed a bit and trying to go into turn 10 in 4th gear instead of third… I’m still letting off the gas to early and braking to early like Sieg mentioned. I really do appreciate Siegs feedback… that’s how a guy improves
In this video I ended up running out of gas at full speed on the back straight right after passing a black Mustang… this happened on the last lap (5:18 in video) and I was able to coast back to the pits all the way to my parking spot! My fuel consumption at this event was 3 mpg. I went through nearly two tanks. Now I know for next time to always have a a minimum of half a tank before going out.
I do have a comment on the new Hotchkis Tuned Fox Shocks…. I am a big fan of Hotchkis stuff and have a bunch of their parts on my car. After running the new Fox shocks on the track I was not impressed. They worked great on the street and had a little better ride than the Bilsteins, but on the track they didn’t feel right to me. The front of the car would start bouncing at high speed on a couple of sections on the track…. You can see it in the video on the front and back straight. I didn’t care for the bouncing… my Bilsteins didn’t do this. I have 600 lb coils on the front of my car and I don’t think the shocks had enough dampening. The Fox shocks didn’t work for me… I am going back to the Bilsteins. This is my 2 cents after trying them… the Foxes are better on the street than the Bilsteins but not as good on the track… and unfortunately they are not adjustable.
