FUeL's first track day.

Keep your chin up! I know how frustrating and depressing that can be...it's not fun at all. Stay positive and keep us informed.

Hey thanks for all the positive~ "it's Ok to beat on my car"!! I'll toss my guilt out the window now.

On the longest straight away, I few seconds into hard breaking I tried to sneak a look, I 'think' I saw somewhere between 140 -150. So I guess maybe 160? but that sounds like a lot so I don't know? It is really hard to take your eyes off that corner at those speeds! The GT3 was hitting 160 (250km) I would guess he would be faster so 160 is on the high side.
In a couple of more laps it was Fuels turn to get a Gtech type unit dialed into the track. To bad it would have shown the complete course, all speeds, G's all mapped out on the track, it was pretty cool software. Oh well next time...
(Trivia: Did you know the Gtech /Snitch is a Calgary based company?)

Glad to hear you had fun. Do you think it will be ready for the next track day? I should be in town and would love to go for a lap or 6.

Don't know Rich that's this Sunday, I'm trying! I'd rather also have more seat time before I take on a guy with so many laps at the track....

Oh ya and welcome with that lame first post!

Race City Calgary their web site is real lame or I'd paste a link, they don't even have I diagram of the track?

If your a google mapper type in Race City Calgary and you can zoom in on the road course.

I'll try and not continue the derail of my own thread... but did you hear about the new private track? Heard from a reliable source it's going to happen!

Guilty of that one myself. I used to take the old Camaro down (before the Friday night street deals). Nothing like driving the street car to the track then racing in Super Pro for the afternoon. I think I went to one of the Friday night deals (besides the Fastest Shootout the first year they had it) but even back then the track pretty marginal for cars running in the 9's.

I've heard rumors. If it's going to happen I have to get more info. As they say - I'm in!

To get your thread back on track:

What's the verdict Dave?
