IDK how many of you are Nascar/Indy fans but I realized yesterday that the Sunday of this event is the Indy 500 and the Coca Cola 600. I'm a Kyle Larson fan boy and he's going for the double again. I have a shitty projector that we could set up in somebody's garage to stream the races on Sunday...

If you're looking for something cheap before spending big money I had good luck with the parts store blanks at my last track day. Couldn't stomach the price of Girodiscs. 4 DFC rotors were under $300 total.

Finally got the car feeling good under braking. Counterspace Garage C1XB front pads and C11 rear pads felt great at the last track day. Some vibration while bedding them in but it went away and no issues after getting them on track. Can’t wait to get down to VIR in May.

No problem! Even if it's not quite needed to get the FL5 to rotate I'll tell you it's a ton of fun to practice and it's a valuable skill to have.

How to Trail Brake - What is Trail Braking and Why it's Fast I found this yesterday but forgot to post it. Seems like some good info in it but after reading @J1Avs input on trailbraking with +R you may not need it.

I only tracked the PS4S the first event in near freezing temps. They felt great but I was still new to the car. I think if I tried them now I'd be able to tell they aren't as good as a proper track tire. Also, I have read recently on this forum that they tend to chunk away on the edges with hard...

I tried +R exclusively last weekend based off of what I've read on here. It seemed good but admittedly I never went back to back with the pedal dance. I just felt like I was waiting forever to get back on the power. Could also just be heat cycled tires at this point. I will say that the car is...

Thanks! Summit is also my home track. The car has 2 year old 265/35R18 Falken RT660 tires and Counter Space Garage pads front and rear. Also running Castrol SRF brake fluid. I pulled the strut pins to get a little more camber up front and did an alignment. Other than that it's all stock.

I'll take one!

I'll do my best. It's basically a term that refers to keeping weight on the front tires when turning into a corner. As you brake hard for a corner the nose dives and weight is moved over the front axle and off of the rear. If you come off the brakes completely and then coast until turn in the...

I mean. We gotta have the memorabilia. Ordered!

With my old Integra I took it out for an entire session with the intent of spinning out in one section where there was plenty of runoff as an exercise to learn trail braking. Looks like I need to do that again haha.

For sure. This car reminds me of my AP1 when it comes to lift off oversteer. I just haven't adapted to the FWD fix of more throttle yet. I guess I'll just have to get more seat time in the Type R. Oh darn lol.

Here is my best lap from the weekend. After doing some data review I think I just need to trail brake more to get some rotation in the slow corners. Seems to be where I'm losing most of my time. The car got loose going through T8 on one of the opening laps so I was a little hesitant to throw it...

I’m using this mount- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GTZJA7Y?cafId=108aca11-3a9a-4b8b-9f5b-a451cd92c254&cafASIN=B00GTZJA7Y&ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_SZVTJ0XSPF8TGEXY59QN It wraps through the hole in the seat. This pic is old and not quite where I had the camera positioned last weekend but gives you the...

Been awhile since I took the Civic to the track and I had forgot how much fun it is. These cars are incredible. Lowered my PB by .8 seconds. But still .8 away from the current track record. Still have some work to do to cut time but had a blast. I took a few coworkers for rides and I don’t think...

I have to lock up customer cars at the end of the day for work and I’ve found a way that works on a lot of make/models. Give this a try- put the driver’s window down and then get out of the car. Reach through the window and press the start button twice to turn the car on. Press the lock button...

Gotta be quick even on the forums lol. I’m sure your instructor will be great but with this big of a group I think we should do some video review in the paddock. Could be beneficial for all of us.

Alright, sent them an email and they asked me to give them the name of who I'd like as my student. So if anybody going to this event that is registered for Novice group would like me as their instructor shoot me a message with your full name and we'll make it happen.

OK, cool. I'll email them this weekend.
