Video of TWS 10 4 08

It was a bit of a rough weekend.

Starting out with untuned cams (S2's).
Then add warped rotors I just put on the car. (kids never put used rotors on your car even if they look great ).
Add in 2 tires that chucked wheel weights. (front left rear right).
Then mix in the O2 housing bolts backing out and falling off. (don't reuse old O2 bolts, suck it up and buy new ones with proper cup washers)

Ok, now for sunday morning:

Air temp 80. Boost set to 20psi (since I rigged the O2 back together thanks Lowes bolts!) 93 octane gas. Tires still out of balance, old rotors back on car (not warped). Here is what you get:

the Wife

and then:

me

It worked great! Thanks Shimanchu and thnx Home Depot!
3bolt O2 ftw. Thy did great all weekend! Not many cars running in instructor group, with similar lap times makes for boring video unless you pit out exactly same time.

Some spots on the track have a rough transition. I set the car full stiff on compression and rebound due to much higher speeds (only 4 corners on that track under 75mph exit speed). MSR needs much softer setting due to lack of camber in corners slower speeds. So yep, its bouncy for sure. Plus AWD cars love to be pitched, not turned in gently (fine line with this try at own risk disclaimer )

LOL S2k is a great guy, think he is around this forum some. I wish the Black Evo guy (jon i think is his name) would post some of his video he took some of him and thy i do believe.


Looking forward to our day as well. Will be nice to be on the track with other fast cars for a change

I think a member ship is like $3500 one time fee and $100 a month and $20 session after that.... Maybe kelly can give more detail about member ships.

I dont know if they have a fee for the track if you dont have a membership.... I think you can only go with a member or on a sponsored track day...... could be wrong thats how I understand it.

uhh, no....not really....
I'm the one that got in hot water from the track, guests, and members when it didn't go as planned...
a year later and I'm still sending PMs to members trying to get them out/involved w/NTEC as much as possible
I need NTEC/ya'll to keep in touch w/members throughout the year and not only when we want to go to the track.
All that to say, I've already sent a PM to several members to join us Sunday, the 19th. There are more guests than members at this time ...

haven't heard back from Ethan about NTEC going to Eagles Canyon
other than being cheaper for guests,
when you really get serious about driving,
there are many schools in the area,
here is an Apex event Sat. 10/18 at MSR if you want to attend w/out membership http://www.apexdrivingacademy.com/
