First time on a road course - The FIRM

[stoli]

I went to my first open track day today and had a blast. I've been to the drag strip dozens of times, but this blows that away.

I can't recommended it enough to anyone who gets the chance. We had more track time than I could have hoped for.

Just one snippet:

Awesome! This is exactly what I want to do with my car.

You car sounds mean as hell. I love the stripes on it, too. I so want those same stripes on my Ingot but I am having a hard time visualizing.

The video is sweet! You running your everyday tire setup? I want to get into this too but will need to buy another set of wheels and tires for track duty.

Street tires - I'm still on the oem P-Zero's up front (26k) and have Michelin PSS in the rear (17k). They held up well but I need to get the rear camber adjusted back into spec. It's still only -.5 from my drag setup and there was a lot of oversteer.

Gotcha! Looks like a blast.

HPDEs are the most fun you can have in a car, in my opinion. looks like you were doing quite well out there.

with your eibach springs did you notice a lot of bouncing around or did it feel pretty flat? i think that, based on reviews, i'll be looking at the FRPP suspension setup to be a little more sorted on the road courses.

which exhaust do you have? is it the touring or sport version? it does sound incredibly good. i see stuff in your sig but i'm not up on the lingo yet. thanks!

The suspension felt really good actually. As noted, I have the Eibach Pros, as well as the BMR cradle and differential lockout kits.

I have catless Stainless Works long tube headers and Ford Racing Touring catback

So I live in Orlando and I'm thinking about going to the FIRM. From other videos I've seen it looks like you are going the opposite direction that is normally driven. Am I right?

8 Months later and my lap times in the rain are probably close to the the first time in the dry. ;)
