Okay day 1 down. I was definitely pretty scared the first 2 runs, did a little better the 3rd run, and mellowed out quite a bit on the last run. So improving steadily, and it was a blast. Heading back tomorrow morning for day 2!

Oh and I will definitely need an oil cooler. After each half hour run I was at 260, and it was only like 60-65 outside.

An oil cooler and some quality break pads will truly make the difference. Glad to see you had such a great time though!

Yeah I have hawk hps on right now and they were starting to fade a little towards the end of each run. I'll get some XPs for the next event.

Okay here's some video of a guy who was behind me for a while. I gave him a passby eventually. I like the dig he made at me, "he's only got you in horsepower not talent". Fvcker haha. But actually that guy was driving better than I, it wasn't his first event, and they were in a stripped out miata so they were taking corners stupid fast.

Yeah, you probably should of given him the point-by a lot sooner. But then again, he didn't really do a good job of making himself known to you. He should of stayed on your *** during the turns instead of being so passive.
