NorCal/Sac Valley Auto-X, Track Days, Drags

Dam. That would be to soon for me anyway. In the middle of moving to new spot. That would be bad ass though. How many track days would you think is safe to move to upper classes? Or is it just when you feel more comfortable?

You'll probably be the first to know bro!

IMO, FWIW, when you do not feel like a fish out of water, and arent holding anyone up... Know flags and ideally no skipping any visual register of your flag station teammates, might be time.

If you are safely and courteously passing cars of the same ability, time to move up..

Gotcha! I'll probably do 2 more novice than bump up. I want to be comfortable without traction control and I want to hit corners hard and fast. Hopefully be competitive.

Safety > Courtesy > Speed, above all be safe and have fun!

Last tip :
The best drivers do not draw that much attention, they know how to be quick w/o disruption.

Thank you sir. I will definitely keep that in mind at all times. For sure always safety first! I would never pass anyone all crazy and unsafe. I wouldn't want anyone hitting me either driving like an idiot.

Here's my second fastest lap last night, unfortunately the camera glitched and stopped recording for my fastest one which was half a second quicker...

How was the camera attached? Seems very shaky.

Also looks like a great lap. Sad I wasn't able to go.

Saturday the 6th is full for Solo, 7th is almost full. What do you think about turn 5 in each config? Bypass wasn't exactly fun with the off-camber shit, but going over the hill may be just as bad.

I think I'm going to put Saturday 9/10 (http://www.ncracing.org/event-detail.php?event=55&date=2016-9-10) or Friday 10/7 (http://www.ncracing.org/event-detail.php?event=56&date=2016-10-7) on my calendar. Not signing up yet, but scheduling it.

Ooooh, the East 3 huh? Sounds interesting, very interesting...

The hill isn't that bad. Just takes confidence in your own abilities and your running mates. You'll be fine.

T-hill has some awesome off camber turns. Makes for fun times!

I'll be there Saturday the 6th in solo group if anyone else makes it. Would have been nice to get there the last Thursday but was not fitting in the schedule.

 

[GT_Roadcourse_Newb]

Ive paid for that event, so naturally I'm hoping to be there too

Looking forward to a nice cool day in Laguna first though!

I hate you guys right now. Lol

Hey , is the budget the issue? If so, sorry to hear it, definitely been there before.. I might be able to offer some annoying $ saving tips like dont buy great tires...*edit - average tires are better for early learning curve and serve longer by factor of 2 or possibly 3. Just need to focus on competing with your own times, not others'. (IMO)

bunch 'o new parts on. gotta get it all settled in to make sure I didn't screw anything up, then it's track time!

 

[16s550]

Looks bad ass brotha! Love the tread on those tires. Anymore pics of them? You said the widest is 285 right? :(

 

[GT_Roadcourse_Newb]

Looking good Chris, very pretty! I'm glad our cars are semi similar and just a nice bit different for variety. Teats!!! :cheers:
