Heck yea man. Definitely got room. The events are like $175. But I'm cheap so I volunteer and run half the day for free instead of the whole day. Next one is coming up shortly 3/6/10. I'm not sure when the rest will be, but check out the website and just find the Nashville's section.

Tracksunlimited.net.

Oh By the way! My sister-in-laws Boyfriend just got a job up in VA. I got a free stay now when I come to visit PTuning. Free lodging FTW!

Oh Snap! Hope Kevin (Slikk) don't read that...LOL. He is a good driver really though. He constantly makes top 5 in the AutoX. His tires that day did hold him back.

We have been ragging on him ever since that day though...LOL. He picked up some 180 treadwear Kuhmo XS tires, and now we have been building up this day by a little verbal jousting back and forth...LOL. He says he is going to knock my time of the top spot, so we shall see.

Oh yeah forgot about the newbie laps. You get 5 laps to see if you like this sort of sport. Kind of like a try before you buy.

I probably will get there around 6:45 - 7:00

You guys are so lucky to have a track, even if its mild. The closest track we have is the one in Joliet. And it cost way too much money to run on it. Think it was 500 per hour or so.

-New lap time set

-New overtake victim : 2008+ Viper.

And I REALLY need a BBK.

Also, the Wing really showed me how effective it was yesterday. I started the day with it flat (as to get more speed on the straights), but every single time I would come under braking...the butt of the car would slide out as if I was about to drift the corner. At first I figured this was because I put the low grip front tires on the rear and vise versa. So, I just figured they did not have enough tread left in them to hold the rear up. But I come to realize this was not the case, as Brian (Jester) and Kevin (slikk), both were running FRESH tires. Brian was on the Star Specs and Kevin on the Kuhmo XS. And they both complained of the same issues with the back end wanting to step out under braking. This is primarily if you try braking and turning at the same time, so obviously braking in a straight line and then turning is the solution for a Wingless car (which neither of them have wings).

But for me, I ended up throwing some pitch into the wing and BAM, INSTANT CHANGE to the Rear! I could break and turn all at the same time leaving the butt planted firmly in place and following the car.

This was the first time I have adjusted the wing on a track day to see the adverse effects....I have a new appreciation for it altogether. It literally saves your Butt....even in the low speed turns.


PS....All the Integras were in the Novice group, so no Honda Kills sorry guys....

Brian would be the fastest one we had since he was boosted. I would be second fastest overall and fastest N/A one. But I'll be back on boost come mid summer.

It'a an APR GT200. The Mounts have been relocated, otherwise it would be mounted to the trunk lid instead of the body.
