gently caress autocross. Every time I've gone I get 4 runs at most, you spend more time sawing at the wheel than getting real car feel, etc. It's balls, but doing it once or twice before going to the track is a great idea. I'll probably take the 240 when it's done for shits though.

Going to the NHRA 4 wide in Charlotte NC on Saturday. Should be awesome to watch 9000+ HP tear down the strip 4 wide.

Why do anything over CAN? Especially since you acquisition rates are so much higher than it's capable of? I can see the advantage of sensor sync, but couldn't a recorder just sample the camera or at 15 or 30hz and keep the full data stream somewhere else?

Lol at autocross being hard on brakes. Not compared to track time.

Trail braking an older 911 is supposed to be hella tricky given the weight balance.

Wife, friend and I did one of those supercar experience things and now she wants to do racing school. Any of my fellow VIR area goons have recommendations? As much as I would love to do a rally school, road racing school will get us more seat time because VIR is a little over an hour away. Just not enough events in the dirt.

I think I ran with Chin once at Homestead. It was a very well organized event IIRC.

I made a spreadsheet of the majority of currently approved FIA 8855-1999 seats from the FIA's awful PDF document. There are some some cheaper options from Bimarco, which is a Polish company, and a Taiwanese company (TRP). https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RfEP5Qvk21YjuUs7UI-siI4aUDZmLS-XSbOXmZa3qRo/edit?usp=sharing

Castrol SRF is the best fluid you can buy as a normal person. I found a chart of fluids and the costs. I found a big chart for reference and threw it in a doc https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13Ac-svDcQqpZh_prSbVaNQm3Qx_a2532821Npfjv7pI/edit?usp=drivesdk

TYP200 is a great track day fluid and Good Enough for most purposes. Jegs also has a fluid with better specs that is even cheaper than TYP200. Wrar fucked around with this message at 04:03 on Oct 7, 2019 |

KillHour posted:Here are my two best sessions from last weekend. Car had a lot of overheating issues, but I think I still put down a few decent times. Sad I couldn't get to the 2:10 mark on the second day but I think it was just too hot for the poor car. Definitely appreciate any feedback on what I'm loving up (other than my heel-toe I know that is absolutely horrid. I need to get new pedal covers because holy poo poo is it bad in this car). Yes. The Steeda pedals are cool and good. I have a set for my ST and it makes a huge positive difference. I only put on the throttle but that's the only one you need. https://www.steeda.com/steeda-555-1...VQaAlIOEALw_wcB

Y'all don't have road legal roll bars? That's odd. They make the car safer.
