Pics from superlap

Check out the body roll on my stock suspension. I got a little too ballsy a couple of times, but my firends didn't get it on camera. (thankfully I think) All around a good time.

I did get a couple, but I don't think I should post them up since I wouldn't like it if someone I didn't know was posting pictures of my wreked car on a forms page.
Chris I thought I was done racing too, but I had to try out super-lap.

How was superlap on your tires and brakes? I want to try it too at some point. (not right now though, heh heh).

The Lotus crashed in the first heat. It was sitting next to the tent the entire day. It snaged the rumble strip next to the gate house with its skidplate, and spun into the guard rail.

It's pretty hard on your entire car, especially tires and brakes.

As long as you don't overdrive the car, your tires should do fine. When I was still living on the mainland I did a 2-day open track event in my sister's WRX on her stock RE92s - 4 20min sessions on track each day. Probably almost 100mi on track, waaaaay more than you'll get at a SL event. The tires were fine. Oh, and I ran faster lap times in her (stock) car on RE92s than I had in the Legacy on coil-overs and R-compounds.

Of course, telling someone who's never been on track before not to overdrive the car is like telling a crack addict to just do a little bit of crack.

Yep it is hard not to overdrive your tires. Pat definitley has good skill to beable to do that on RE92's. I destroyed 1 set of crap Eagle F1-DS tires, but with KDW's I have lasted several AutoX's and at least 1 track even plus over 10,000 miles and amazingly my tires are still in good shape. Maybe my skill has improved, but I doubt it. As far as brakes go, I cooked my fluid the first time, and I would recommend getting some SS lines, and good fluid at least. I would upgrade your pads if you have the cash to.
