some short youtubes from PR on 6/24. This is the GoPro hero wide, with the motorosports suction cup mount. I didn't have enough ***** to attach to the front, so I attached to the trunk so that I could cable it to the wing in case of failure.

aeroweenie was there as well... he got by me at least once, so I'll have to digup that footage. <*cough*althoughhewasrunningRcompounds*cough*>

GT3 chasing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59vih4rL4A8
M3 chasing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0g4GJd5PTos

I'm running DS2500, motul, WORKS lines, Forged duct kit, WORKS springs, English Racing tuned 340/320 @ 22psi

 

Nice videos! It was good to meet you and your supercharged-Miata-driving coworker. Had a blast, 180 track miles. And yes, the 255 R888s allowed me to carry quite a bit more speed through the curves, and brake later, than you could with street tires.

We seemed comparable under acceleration which can only mean one thing - my car is also ER tuned.

Also, I'm running Pagid RS29 front pads, DS2500 rears, Perf Friction 2-piece front rotors, Stoptech SS lines, Cobb TBE, Forge MBC, 23 psi boost.

 

do you know what session you passed me on? I'm digging through caps but can't find it.

 

It was either the 3rd or 4th session. The M3 that was chasing you was my coworker, I sent him the link. Great shots of him drifting out of 3b and dropping a wheel exiting 6! He is an excellent driver and obviously was driving at the limits of the car.

 

Nice!

Here's some from the Alfa evening.

I really love seeing these videos. I'm going to have to get out there myself and see how it goes. How tough is it on your brakes? Is there a lot of work in getting the car ready? Or any tips on changes that'll go a long way for a track day?

 

imo minimum bar before going to the track:

Brakes: motul / synthetic fluid, more aggressive pad (DS2500 all around, or DS2500 rear and track pad up front). This is really the only component changes you need before tracking a factory Evo. Dont set your ebrake in the paddock, after the session unless you want new rotors

Tires: never repaired / plugged, plenty of rubber

Oil: changed and full

General: inspection, make sure there are no existing suspension or mechanical issues that might trip you up at the track.

 

^^^ Shoot video out the front next time!

When are you headed out again?

 

I had an in-car camcorder as well... just need some time to export the video. I'll post some on youtube maybe today. It's definitely handy-cam video quality, but has great audio!

I'm going out again as soon as I can roll my fenders... 7/21 is the next full proformance day. might hit the power lunch on 7/6. cheers

 

ProFormance also added July 28. I'm going either the 21st or 28th.

 

here's one from the in-car handycam
