Track Day Best Practices - MUST READ

StevenSlice · 03-08-2018, 11:38 AM

Something to add - Common sense.

If somebody comes out of nowhere and is chewing on your bumper, just let them go. Forsake your pride and let the guys who know what they're doing go out in front.

Also our Z's arent "slow" by any means so certain cars you do need to lift for. Just because you're faster in a straight doesn't mean your faster 90% of the rest of the track.

Common courtesy at track days is a must, at least if you intend on making some friends and not getting chewed out after you get off track.. OH and dont go in a run group youre not fast enough for. Just because youve got 3 track days doesnt mean youre ready for intermediate.

There are fast guys in slow cars, and slow guys in fast cars.

Good example was a old Mustang at ACS.
Full suspension, front and Rear Brembo BBKs, gutted interior. Big supercharger. Dude was like 500+ HP on 305 DOT Slicks.

Ran 7 seconds slower than me, and refused to let me by.

With guys like that, just take trip down pit lane and put space between you DA, then call them out in the download.
