Shame no one came out. Would love to see more cars start showing up at track days. It was a little hot, but once the wind kicked up a little it felt perfect. Turned a 1:34 best lap of the day. Not bad considering the ariel atom was turning 1:28 and Ferrari 1:32...
Brought my brother in law out in his 997 4S with an EvoMS blower on it. He had a great time and posted a best of 1:36. Met a lot of great people and learned a lot. I think next time I might bump up to the black run group. I didn't need to give a point by the entire day.
heres some funny footage of me sliding all around the track after a vette leaked 7 quarts of oil all over the line and an s2000 lost its trans drain plug... I was watching all my footage today with my brother in law and we realized EVERYONE was spinning after the fluids... That'd explain everyone leaving after the attempt to clean it up. I thought it was just me getting tired/lazy.
And my brother in law spinning in his session after the fluids as well.
Other than having the same steering issues a Zamboni normally has, it looked like it'd be a lot of fun on a normal day.
On a bigger track like the Fontana roval the car isn't as bad, but when tracks get real tight like streets of willow, its just a monster to drive. Going to do hydroboost, quick ratio power steering and a cooler for both next. And a new steering wheel
I have a TON of respect for the trans am series drivers. Mad men, all of them.
