My first weekend at Hallett!

I finally went to my first track day and had a blast! I've never had this much fum with my Evo. I can't wait to go again.

It took me all day of trying but the quickest it went 1:28.7. I was on 245/40-18 Falken RT615's, Tanabe GF210 springs, and Autozone Ceramic front pads so it has a lot of improvement in it.

On to the pictures. The first three are a series of an off throttle oversteer that I saved.








Here are the rest of the pictures I have for now:

I posted after you in the Arkansas thread. There is a auto-x in Little Rock and in Neosho this weekend. I'll be at the Little Rock one.

It was a LRRS (A local Forum) track day. One of the members rented the track.

I destroyed the pads. lol. They were also a hold up because they would fade on me and I couldn't brake as late as I wanted to. I'll get some pictures of them after I pull them off.

That sounds good. I need some help with setting up the car. I can drive it but don't know much about what parts work the best. I'll PM you my number.

Is a closed reg. You have to be sponsored by someone. I'm going to try to get another of my friends on there and I'll try to get you on there as well.
