If you want a cheap light wheel, they can't be beat. [QUOTE=LxJLthr;3607678]Dickbutts. Big ones.[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/images/smilies/blankface.gif[/IMG] |

Track day! Spent that weekend at Thunderhill Raceway Park.
[attach]209888[/attach] Here's a rough cut of my first session. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7feqsuXuZ8"]NCRC Thunderhill 3-mile Bypass 8/8/15 - YouTube[/ame] M3 driver posted up looking for video. I happened to encounter him. This was during the 3rd session on Saturday. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JvuYpRpGj8"]Alex M3 - YouTube[/ame] More videos coming. Just got to put them together. I did 3-mile Bypass on Saturday and 3-mile Cyclone on Sunday. Ran Solo Group (1-8 day experience, point-by on the straights only) on both days. Car ran great the whole weekend. Temps got really high late Sunday. I saw outside temp at 96* on my dash. Track started to get greasy, I started to feel some new vibrations... It was weird. Engine temp stayed pretty consistent as far as I could tell. Brakes were... OK. My braking zones were pretty long. But they didn't seem to fade to me. Tires were great. Dunlops are known to overheat and be ****ty on track. I thought the traction was really good and consistent throughout the weekend. Suspension was good. Didn't seem too soft. There are some bumpy sections on the track and the suspension coped with them really well. The car was very balanced, comfortable, and confident. No engine problems. No power steering problems. No transmission problems. Did burn/leak about half a quart of oil. I did a fresh change on Friday. But I wasn't really counting how much I put in and the dipstick was weird. Either way, I'm not worried about it. First day I ran 103 miles and burned 8.9 gallons for 11.6 MPG. Second day, I cleared 120 miles and burned 11.8 gallons for 10.2 MPG. Seriously not bad. I made it though the whole day on one tank. Meanwhile My friends needed more fuel at lunch. I spent $65.56 on gas for the whole weekend. But man... Pulling 3,100 pounds with 140whp sucks. Cornering was great, acceleration was poor. I was a Miata in Subaru clothing. |

[QUOTE=JourdanWithaU;3611763]Rock on. What group were you in?
[/QUOTE] i believe I was in Solo with you, but I didn't see you around the track we probably went out at different times. |
Ah yeah. We probably had similar lap times and just kept going around.
Were you out on Sunday? There was a Craftsman truck in the group. I finally saw it during the 4th session. It was a couple turns ahead of me with traffic. Only time I saw that truck on track the whole day. I wanted to catch that truck so bad. |
