Hey Track Guys,
Same story. Not too many cars, three run groups, instructors available, low price, 5 sessions of 30 minutes each on Wednesday May 9.
Any interest?

I'm in. Either on street tires or freshly used Toyo's. Hopefully this time with no wind
Hey Carl,
I'd really like to go. Got to work.
Have fun.
Dan
I hate it when work gets in the way.
Anyone else going?
I'll be there in the yellow group. I'll be leaving from Westlake Village early Wednesday morning.

Ron W aka SoCal Rebel will be up instructing. Get him to go a session if you can. Not sure where I'll be pitting. I'll be up there with a white camero, and an orange C6 Vette (brand new). If you need and assistance let me know.

Oh Great One ^9 ^9 ^9
Great day, although hot.
Best of 1:33.2.
Jon...how's the tranny?
Fast time 1:33.2.
What kind of car, mods, race tires?
Just wondering.
thanks, Ray
2000 GTS pretty close to stock. i do have Belinger headers, adjustable coil over shocks and 40MM rear calipers. My car currently runs prepared in Viperdays but I could easily bump back to Super Stock and may for Reno.
I was on used Toyo's and my track rims (forgeline).
Had a passenger also. Ran fast time in the 3rd session after we all got black flagged while they towed a broken car off. Ran a bunch or real low 34s.
Rossi ran a 29 in an SRT10 on Pilots in the first session then parked it.

Hey Carl,
Sounds like the Toyos worked pretty well. Are you still using the same tire guy?

Yes.
I was able to build enough speed the car was pushing in 8 and coming off 2. Got worse as the tires got hot. I saw tire temps over 200 a couple of times.
I only recorded one session with the data logger. (user error-idiot) My passenger saw 140s on the front straight and high 130 in 8 many many times. I did a little better carrying my speed around 8 and braking more abrubly into 1.
Hey Carl,
What size fronts?
Dan
305
Still pushing with 305's? Must have been going fast!
Carl,
The transmission worked a little better after it cooled off. I was able to use 5th gear for a few laps but once it heated up I couldn't get it in again without grinding. No problems on the way home. I had a similar problem last time I was at the track in January. I had a local transmission shop repair it but I think I'll end up taking the car back to DC performance.
Despite my 5th gear problems, I had a great time using third and fourth gear. I ended up staying for all five session including an 45min open last session.
