Bad news my bros - most of my track footage was unusable (my crew member for the weekend - aka best friend Matt - forgot to plug in the mic :doh

We were having so much fun interacting with everyone, we completely spaced on triple checking the video, so I have a lot of random stuff. Got an entire session where the only camera on was the camera on the front wheel. ha!

Anyways, here's a hot lap from me on my 4 track day old Cup2s. Again, apologies for the lack of exhaust - mic was unplugged. Bummer to as I had intake sound to add. Oye!


Luckily Rob was there grabbing some epic pictures. Needless to say, I need to look at reducing body roll!

Wanted to say thanks to everyone I met. You guys were great and this was one of the most fun days I had in a while. [MENTION=7132]Trackaholic[/MENTION] [MENTION=9347]S550[/MENTION]_Tim

I met some of you by name and not username!

T - that's a thought for next year. Name tags with IG & 6G usernames :lol:

a few photos from the day.

I had such a great time out there that I barely took any pictures. Most of you posted better pictures than the few I took anyways but it was great to meet you all and see some familiar faces! Rob sent me this as a teaser but I'll post up some more once I get them as well as a video or 2 once my slow ass computer decides to process them properly. I had a mic taped to my rear bumper but I had to run the wire all the way in through the cabin, under my seat and plugged into my GoPro mounted under my steering wheel. I was trying to record some heel/toe action but I pulled the wire out halfway through the first session so I gave up on that idea. No good sound from me either :headbonk::headbonk:

Kevin [MENTION=23430]honeybadger[/MENTION], you were flying out there! Great driving man! I was trying to follow your line while I was behind you but couldn't keep up. You and Nick [MENTION=26919]viva_brasil[/MENTION].

[MENTION=34642]SonnyMod[/MENTION], thanks for the ride! After riding with you, then trying to chase Nick down, I ended up with my fastest lap of the day. 2:05.97!

Who is interested in round 2 in September? I may try to pull some strings and bring out something special.... FP350S special

 

[honeybadger]

Damn, bro. That's an epic picture. Looks like you need more camber, tho!

 

[viva_brasil]

September: yes. +FP350S: HELL YES.

I don't think J man needs more camber since he just flew off that curb
in the picture and the whole front end is light and extended (with less camber by design at that extension).

I'm just going based off what he told me has was running + the temps I took at Thunderhill to confirm. At T Hill west I was running -2.4 front and was running 15 degrees hotter on the outside. I think Jesse said he was running -2.7. I'm thinking -3 or more is needed.

Edit: by the way - I loved your ride Nik. You got me taking a deep look at the APR aero again. Dammit

 

[viva_brasil]

Ah yea I thought just going off the pic would be tough to figure it out!

And thank you! I say do it. I'm still working on dialing everything in (spring rates, sway bar, camber) with the wing, but the grip is awesome.

Thunder Hill??? ;)

p.s.
Crappy footage and editing, but there you have it... Terrance passing me! At least it sounds kinda cool?

Damn, Sorry I missed it. Had to do the whole "work" thing.

I might be interested in the September running though. Never ran there and s550_tim's footage looks too fun.

Yup! Running -2.7 in front and -2.1 out back right now but I think the sweet spot for my 60% Street / 40% Track driving might be -3 Front / -2.5 Rear. Car felt amazing though! I love the squared setup.

I AM SO FUCKING DOWN! This would be one of the very few days I'd miss a Raiders home game for
