What's up BAIC. I took my wagon up to Thunderhill last Friday and I was very pleased with the performance of my car even with this short Mod list: swift springs, Falken Azenis, 17" rotas, DBA 4000 Rotors up front, Hawk HPS brake pads front/rear. I had a great instructor (STi4WRC) who knew the track well and was patient with my n00b driving techniques. I even got to ride along in his STi After the 2nd session I became very familiar and confident on track. I have to say turns 5 and 9 are some really fun corners. Can't wait to go back!

Thanks to STi4WRC, AUTOHQ, and Dan at SubyDude!

Enjoy the pics!






That's STi4WRC on my tail!








My personal favorite

 

Looks like you had alot of fun. You've totally convinced me to do a track day hah!

 

I did! TEAM Racing puts on fun and safe track days. Very well organized and highly recommended. I'll probably be back next month.

 

how much was it to do one of these track days at tunderhill?

 

Nice pics, I love that track!

Great Stuff Giibo, and yes STi4WRC is a great driver, great guy too. Looks like there will be more track days in your future!

 

Gibbo, I'm glad you had a great day at the track. It was fun for me also. You were much improved from the start to the end of the day. Possibly the great instruction? I wish I would have secretly timed your 1st session compared to the last session. I'll bet at least 10 seconds a lap faster and much smoother. Of course I don't recommend first timers worry about lap times, just work on your lines and being smooth like we talked about. Remember relax the shoulders, and smooth imputs to the throttle and steeering wheel. I hope to see you guys at the track again sometime soon. It is always more fun with more Subarus there.

 

ahhh i havent been out to a track day in 2 years.... maybe its time to get back on it

 

Team Racing was the event host, check 'em out at http://home.onemain.com/~bonster/ $235 for about 2 hours of track time. EDIT: December's track day is ONLY $160 if you sign up before 11/30 and $185 after 11/30. Not bad at all!

Thanks STi4WRC! Yea, for some reason my shoulders and whole body for that matter would tense up going into corners. Now that i have that experience under my belt, i won't be so nervous next time around. I'll definitely be out there again next month!

 

what was the weather like? no issues with overheating?

$235 for 2 hours.... shouldn't you get about eight-20 minute sessions (for a total of 2 hours and 40 minutes)?

Looks like a lot of fun!

 

Weather was pretty mild...I think 65-70 degrees max. I did not have any overheating issues at all. It was a ton of fun, best time i've ever had in my car. Thunderhill>gokartracer

December's event is only $160 if you're interested.

 

TEAM has 3 run groups with 6 sessions each for a total of 2hrs

 

that's too bad.

that sounds like a great deal. is there a link for sign-ups?
