Is that on the main straight from Sunset to Sunrise? What speed do you slow down to go into Sunset?

 

Yes. Braking from 121 to 4th gear. Not sure of MPH. I'll have to watch the vid and take a peek at my speedo. I'm also in 5th through Riverside and braking to 4th up to Phil Hill as well as after Phil Hill to Sweeper, Also in 5th through the last of the esses all the way to Sunset then braking to 4th gear again.
I'd say I brake equally hard into each of those turns.
If you are curious, I can review the vid and compare to my speedo. I'm kinda curious too but not enough to get off my lass *** to go outside

 

Here's the video. Yes, I know I made mistakes and where. This was my first track day Since about Feb, which was my first one in two years. All said and done I did a 1:59.01 with an easy 1:58.999 avail. My goal is 1:57.999 before I finally give up trying for PBs.

 

Man that run group was a disaster. I think you handled the course well. Looks like on your personal best lap you slowed down to around 65-75 mph which is what I expected. I am much slower around Buttonwillow than you at the moment. I still haven't figured out how to best tackle this course but that is probably because I have only been there a couple of times.

 

That run group....LOL
Sounds about right on the MPH.
I read a book and took some notes to collect my thoughts. Even made a map with notes. Tried a few new things. Helped me shave 1.5sec. That and I got braver since last time. LOL
If I can be some help, let me know. I've been pretty good at helping people up to an intermediate level.

 

Sounds good. I will let you know when I make the trip down to Buttonwillow again and ask for pointers. I most likely won't go this year since I am really busy with work.

 

Let me know! I plan to go in Oct or Nov, then again in Dec, if you change your mind. Next year, I plan to do track days every other month, with at least three trips to BWRP

 

While at my last HPD E session, my car was using three quarters of a tank of gas EACH session. Didn't know why.
Got home. Found this

 

Jason, is that the fuel return line at the rail? Ethanol related?

 

It is the return. You can kinda see there was a bit of a bend on the line, as it came off the sensor. I thought I made sure to not over tighten the clamp.
This time I'll add more line and route everything with no bends/angles. Using a different style clamp.
The line was quite crispy, though. I was kinda lazy about running pump gas every other tank, or two, because I never drive the thing. Not sure if that would have helped.

So, luckily no fire. Could have been worse. I'm gonna run the gas out, pump it out, if I can. Then add straight pump gas, so nothing corrodes when I THEN pull the pump and check the other lines.

 

Update as of Feb 20, 2021:
Had the car up to 140mph at WSIR. That was scary. Also watched oil temps and pressures. Pressure never dipped during extended R hand turns. Temp never went above 210*f. It was really cool out there, so not really too surprised (high of 55ish). The oil pan works GREAT.
The car has a LOT in it. I got faster each lap, but know of at least three places I can make up time. Not that I'll go back. That track us nuts

Now.. where to go next.

 

Have you built your engine yet? And what turbo are you running now?

 

OEM short block. S1 cams, GSC S1 cams and springs, FP HTA71 turbo.

 

wow short block still going strong at over 120000. Are you planning to rebuild?

 

I bought the car with low compression in a cylinder. At 135k or so, I finally decided to swap it out. No problems with either short block, though.
