Track day at Mid-Ohio

Finished up my second track day at Mid-Ohio!

Saturday was wet and painful to take the wet line. I only got 1 semi-dry run on Saturday.

Sunday was wonderful. Mid 70s, and track was starting to rubber in again.

Considering this was my first time on a completely dry track (last year I had wet and semi-dry sessions), it was actually fun to push the car. Car gripped amazing

I started in HPDE 1, moved up to HPDE 2. Instructor told me I could easily go into HPDE 3 if I was comfortable, but I may take a couple more track days before I make that move. We will see.

Here is my 4th and final session at Mid-Ohio. My first Solo run as well. I may post up my 3rd session where I was walking through HPDE 2 cars...we will see



The session was cut a bit short due to a race group that got all tangled up before HPDE 3/4 & 1/2 went out.

I also have a friend running w/a Spec E30 in Time Trials. I'll have to get that video up as well.

Comments and tips appreciated. I'm still new to the track game.

It looks like I'll need track pads now. I was tearing up the HP+s, but surprisingly they held up.


PS - Weighed the car at the track. With me in it and a 1/2 tank of gas it was at 3431 lbs

Here is a screenshot from an earlier session of my hunting down an Evo X

It was running a bit rich, I think you can guess why:
