Semi-aquatic personification of unstoppable douchery
Getting ready to do my second track day. My first was running Streets of Willow Counterclockwise; we are running it clockwise this time. I felt pretty good in my last two sessions, but seeing as how the track will be completely different this time around am I better served running in the beginner group again?

Ready for my $300 E30's first track weekend at Streets of Willow Springs, just added some DIY Home Depot brake ducts
If you're doing the daytime sessions on 7/7, I'll be running in the beginner group in a white MINI Clubman. Come and say hi; I'll give you some Gatorade. The regional MINI club will be there with about a dozen or so cars running in the various groups.

I had V12s out on one track day in my 328is and I wasn't really a fan. They squealed like hell even though I wasn't near the limit, and the treadblocks made the steering feel quite vague.
I agree, there's something about this tire that just makes the steering response a big sluggish. Ultimate grip isn't too bad (better than the Bridgestone RE760 I had before) and they do better with much less air pressure than I was used to.

I ran a more or less brand new (less than 500 street miles) set last Saturday at Streets of Willow. I did about 30 laps, weather was 100+ degrees. I could get another 5 days out of them, easily.

Has anybody here ever owned a go kart? An opportunity came up for me to get a good deal on one and I was wondering about the logistics and cost of storing and transporting it.

Or basically, is it worth it? I live in Southern California and I think there are a couple places within a couple hours drive that have tracks.
