Non taken.........

The splitter was a little to much for my style...................so I pulled out the jigsaw and cut 2 inchs off the front. Now its just a "carbon fiber splash guard"

1:37 is moving............I am now more curious what I was running.

My car is down until I get some new tires and get a clutch installed, but yes I will be there a few more times this summer.

I need to sell a 3" VIshnu Standard Turbo back exhuast system with about 2500 miles on it ($600.00) retails for $1150.00.........................and I will pick up some tires.

Yes, stock cars are allowed on the track.

So is Gingerman basically a 3rd and 4th gear track? I have looked at a track map and it looks like there may be a couple places to drop down into 2nd, but I am not sure. What types of speeds are you hitting on the straights?

Any tips on driving Gingerman in the EVO? I was late axexing everything at the Autobahn North Course. This seemed the quickest way around, but I do not have a lap timer so it was based purely on speculation (I was hitting around 115 mph on the front straight), and the fact that I left an NSX and a ZO6 in the dust (not sure how good the drivers were).

 

Yep, 3rd and 4th. I never left those two gears all weekend. Only got to 4th on the straights. I would get around 100 mph at the end of the 10-11 straight, maybe the 11-1 straight but I'm looking ahead for that one.

The track is nothing but late apexes, but easy to figure out. Good luck with 5 & 6. I got in aobut 100 miles on that track and did 5 & 6 different every single time. Stay on the throttle through the 7-8-9 or that rear end will want to come around. Just lift off the throttle right before the turn in for 9 to let the car settle then get right back on the gas. I was full throttle before I even hit the apex for 9 and just let it track all the way out.

As far as times go I decided not to take any lap times because it was my first time at Gingerman. Maybe next time.

 

If the babyracing event was on a Sat. or Sun. I would be game, but during the week is not in the cards.

 

Yeah, I was set to go, but, can't get off work. Too many people on vacation However, my wife and I will be there with the PCA Aug 6 and 7.

 

Also, turn 2 is a double apex turn, I clip the first apex only, then track out, completely avoiding the second one. That action allows me to accelerate sooner.

Thanks Bogie!

 

No problem. Have fun. I wish I could go

 

I was timed by a friend using a stopwatch outside the car in my bone-stock Evo on Advans at 1:39 when I was there last year. I had never been there before/since. It's a great track.
