Circuit Of The Americas with Edge Addicts Dec 18th 2022! The video starts with instruction in a 797 hp Hellcat Redeye! Next up is highlights from the 1st two instructor sessions. The video ends with a brave college girl ride-along while I ratchet up the speeds to full-send mode! She was an absolute TROUPER! I kept checking on her while we were chatting on intercom and she was good to go. We ran a 2:26 together, which is a rough, wild ride! Other noteworthy items for the day: I was running Hawk Performance DTC 70 front and DTC 60 rear pads as well as Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3R tires. My tires and brakes had considerable wear, but were still up to the task. Also of note, my lap timing wasn't cooperating all day and I didn't get times for quite a few of my laps. The best lap I captured data for was a 2:26. I had a 2:24 going into the final turn on one lap, but cars were pitting in front of me and I got off throttle to look if I missed any flags. I hadn't, so I resumed the lap and missed the 2:24. My best recorded time at COTA to date is a 2:23, which I have done on both Hoosiers and the 3Rs.

Itā€™s a sexy ass car! Couldnā€™t help but film it as it went by. I was waiting for a student in pit lane.

Are you going with Chin Feb 4/5?

Small world! I was hanging out with your redeye student at Cresson a few months back and had a beer together after the track day. Didn't think I'd see him in a youtube video here haha!

Any chance you're instructing with chin at eagles canyon 3/11?
He is a good dude! We had fun together.

Iā€™m instructing with Chin Feb 4/5 at COTAā€¦ I might be able to make the March ECR date.

Thanks for posting. Recently bought a Mustang and have been having the itch to roll out to COTA and have some fun with it! Your video motivates me to go get signed up!
Come on in. The waterā€™s fine. But it is addictive.
BTW: Make sure you change to a good high temp brake fluid. Couple of my parking mates got soft pedals after just a few laps at COTA. Itā€™s fast and has a few heavy braking zones. The GT500 & GT350 come with the good stuff already. But Iā€™m not sure about yours.

COTA is insanely fun! I highly recommend it! Iā€™ll 2nd what Don said. Get DOT4 fluid. COTA is a massive challenge for brakes!
