Sorry to hear about another one.. When mine blew over 2 years ago my dealer charged me $6200 for a complete new motor and installation. The original price was $8200 but the GM felt bad that his Service Manager didn't do right by me on a couple occasions. They ended up giving me the parts at cost...
I was at Mid-Ohio on Monday with Chin Track Days for the 1st time in my Ecobanger. Here is a short clip with overlay of my best lap! It was 90 degrees with terrible air, I hope my next time there its cooler :) Great track though, the Chin staff was awesome and the folks running the track are...
No doubt there are some butt clinching spots but you just have to drive through it. I highly recommend track day insurance from Hagerty! It helps to know you're covered when you start to slide towards a large wall.
New best set at Waterford Hills as I expected :) I'll be at Champion Motor Speedway on the 16th for a private track day. Hoping its dry so I can crush another one!

It feels real good to beat a previous best lap time. It feels even better to do it at 2 tracks in 1 week :) I'll hopefully kill another one this weekend at Waterford Hills! Where are you guys running this weekend?

Thank you. I have just the 1 Garmin but I've become pretty good at syncing up the data to the other video clips from my GoPros. It takes some time to get it right but I love multiple angles!
I use a Garmin VIRB and a Bluetooth connector in my OBDII, love it! You can check my YT channel for lots of videos using it. Being able to customize the HUD is awesome!
Jack is a great guy and an awesome driver. I had the pleasure of getting some instruction from him on track at Gingerman Raceway and I want to share it with you guys!
I have a lot more to learn though.. still a newbie lol

Hey Norm,
Yeah I've thought about a knee pad. I'm only 5'8 and am sitting in the proper spot for my height and all. Last track day I didn't have the same discomfort. I was more conscious about how much pressure was on my knee vs just pushing that left foot down hard on the dead pedal.
As for...
All the talking about my original engine issues in the Hate video. Plus I never really say anything bad about the car in any videos, so did want to go into more details I guess. I am however always talking about how good stuff is. So very happy with it over all.
Happy 4th of July everyone! I was able to go out to Waterford Hills Road Racing Course in Clarkston Michigan on Sunday for an Open Track Day. It was my 1st time there but I feel I did pretty well. Check out the video of my fastest lap of the day in the 4th session. I've already found lots of...
