/cast: confusion

hi 2morrow to clarify;

(it fell apart)
(e.g. my mustang)

relegated to a simple street vehicle, I am sure it will break on a track at 10/10ths

likely due to poor maintenance

luckily I own 3 race cars

Did I miss something?

Highlights from Speed SF at T-Hill West last weekend, fun crew



Best laps still in mid-1:28's, not really feeling comfortable pushing these tires much harder. RE-71R's stay pretty good for 1/3 to 1/2 a session of pushing hard, then get greasy. I think I can squeeze another 1-2 events out of them, then I'm going to try the Michelin Cup 2's.

I also need to change out my brake fluid because it tries to boil and get mushy in that same timeframe.

Heading right back out to same track on Friday with SCCA Track Night (https://www.tracknightinamerica.com/events/1987520-track-night-2017-northern-california-may-5). Rare Friday afternoon event for these guys! Usually it's Thursday afternoon...

Anyone else going?

Bueller??

No one wants to come play at Thunderhill on Friday?

Lol. I do but no can do. Plus I need to order new front tires and race pads. Finished both of those off at last Thunderhill. Enjoy it.

Just registered with HOD for Friday June 23rd for the 5 mile at Thunderhill. I'm in the C class. Come out if you can.

Did a day on 08/24 which was fun but it was hotter than hell and there was a full house so that was limiting lap times.

I know, I know...It's not about lap times. The nice thing is that when I had an open track I dropped up to 8 seconds :eyebulge:











Check out some of the videos. Quick little clips, nothing to long.
