Evo X at NYST
Took my Evo up to NYST this weekend to feel it out - it was the first time at the track with this car, and although it had some issues, overall it did well, and I had some fun.
Here is a vid of me chasing my buddy in his GT2 around the track.
A couple issues I had - no fuel pressure after taking left hand turns with less than 1/2 a tank. Annoying!
Oil line for turbo drain came loose and leaked on downpipe.
Brake fluid boiled and lost 70% of my braking coming down the straight - Yikes!
Other than that, it did well....

They have made some MASSIVE improvements from the first time we were there (which was the first day they were open) - Top coat of track finished, curbing installed, parking lot and most of access road paved, brake markers, apex markers, stripes, etc, etc...

last winter they had contracted with an organization i run with and wound up having to refund everything over town permits or something which made it sound like they were going the private route like monticello did. we lost two days out of our season schedule over that.
did you run with a group or a member?

so $50 a year and then $250 per event is the real cost of driving there? thats not terrible.
what are typical "member" track days like? its so close to my parents house it may be worth joining next year and using it for practice days in the weeks between NASA events.

Greg is super cool, so if you want to pop in and check it out and sit for a lap or two in a car, he'd likely be down with that. Give him a call.

I wonder how much advance they need to go on a member day?
And they run cars/bikes separate right?

That's a good deal indeed. I really may consider that for next year.
I'm also assuming they separate cars and bikes. The McLaren has his window most of the way up in that video which is a bit of a sign of how things might run there.
