1st HPDE - 2 days
thx to T-Bone, Dropspeed, Norm and the others who helped me prepare the car and myself for track days. their advice and support ensured that I had a great time and did not break anything.
I went with the factory 285 goodyears on FR 10in wide rims all around.
bled the brakes, fluid changes for the engine, diff, trans and clutch
the course was being run CCW that weekend and of course I started off in the green group, we learned the "line" and got in some good driving. as you all know, this is a heavy car, the instructor and I had to make adjustments to the line for the weight and torque of a 1LE. this is truly a "permagrin" car, I highly recommend it. despite getting 2 tires off the track coming out of turn 3 (only one time), I was bumped up to the blue group by the end of the second day.
it was a typical August TX day, driving home at 1800 the outside temp gauge read 102. I did not have mylink on during the day while on the track, but it was HOT.
