So the last time I ran with this group was May, and only 7 cars showed up for the Advanced group. Literally the fewest cars I've ever run on track with, and sometimes it was actually hard to keep mentally focused because it didn't feel "real". The two fastest were a fully built 1st gen Camaro on slicks and driven by a HOD instructor, and a race-built E36 M3, also on slicks. They were running probably 1:25ish, and I couldn't get below 1:28 (I blame tires! ha). Then a couple modded Miatas were running behind me, and everyone spaced out real far, real quick. Trippy. Video:

I'm still trying to do the 200-ish treadwear street-friendly tire thing, but after my current Cup 2's are dead, I'm done with that. Final try will be the new R888R's, and if those don't get me the stick I'm looking for, I'll either sell the 'Stang and just run my race car, or have to go to track wheels + slicks, which means towing a baby trailer....annoying. Lighter cars can get away with 20min sessions on the 200TW stuff, but our cars are just too heavy. RE-71R sticks OK in the beginning, but gets greasy in 10min or less, depending on temps. Cup 2's stick a bit less but stay more consistent for entire session.

And it all costs too much....I run Hoosier circle track slicks on my race car @ $140-160 apiece, and they last a good long time.

:shrug: in any case....much better than a day in the office!

Hi everyone,

So I obtained several parts recently and am hoping to install them this coming weekend.

They include the following

1. BBK shorty headers (ok, so I didn't receive these recently, but have been holding off on the install)

2. BMR front and rear sway bars

3. Velossa Tech Big Mouth Ram Air Scoop

Would anyone like to help out?
