TTQ B4U Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) Always. IMO if anyone were to ever say anything bad about someone either in learning mode or running slow, etc....I'd find someone bigger than me to bitch slap them No seriously, you'll see all kinds of stuff at the track. Perhaps more faster cars with the group here as there are some sweet rides, but who gives a.....just go have some fun and see what you can do. I bet you improve loads after just a few passes. My first run with my 97 GTP back in the day of having her new was like 15.4's. By the end of the second week out I pulled a 14.667. No difference other than my dumb ass never having been out there figuring out what to do other than putting my foot down all at once. I had more fun that first time than I do now....and I'm still not very good, but hey....it's about the experience. Driver makes a big difference, especially with practice. A guy in Indy went from 13.8's in his MS3 with just an intake and motor mounts to 13.5's then to 13.07 @ 107mph with the addition of drag radials and lots of practice. It's a sweet run of improvements that I could only hope to make in this little four-banger. Edited April 20, 2009 by TTQ B4U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex L. Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I have to see if my schedule will even work out for Friday. If it does, I hope to be there in a slow SC300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XChris1632X Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I try to go and atleast observe on most track days that I can and I have personally seen some 17+ second slips so I wouldnt be too concerned about it. You prob wont be the slowest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tbutera2112 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I thought you made it half way down and blowed up your rearend? i broke off the line and it took a couple hundred feet before i gave up...launched, heard bad noise, put clutch in...debated with my gf who was in the car whether or not it sounded as bad as i thought it did (while still rolling)...tried to go and it clunked hard...but it was still driving a little bit...i tried to gimp it back around and it just wouldnt do it... it would drive like 10 feet then grind for about 5 seconds then go a few more feet...rinse and repeat glad the spider gears still had a few teeth in them, thats the only way i got it into the garage...it didnt sound pretty though scott later informed me that if it sounds broken im supposed to stop, not try and make it back around to the parking lot....but i didnt know that in advance lol was my first time at the track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
