Mid Ohio Autumn Thunder with OVR PCA sept 11-12


Das Borgen

Recommended Posts

Saturday was great. Weather held up and gave me dry track for all 4 sessions. I would have liked to do at least one in the wet but I was not so lucky :(. By my 2nd session, my instructor wanted to move me up to one run group faster than the slowest. I do need to work on my heel-toe technique but aside from that, I felt that my skills were really improving lap by lap :)

 

Sunday

More of the same with the faster run group. I had one session with a 996 Turbo and an STI where we were playing lead-follow and looking at each others' lines. It was a great learning experience overall

 

anyway, I won t stay too long-winded

this dude was so quick he was replacing front pads every OTHER SESSION (worn down to the backing plate. No, I am not exaggerating)

What, why was this event not brought to my attention. Sigh. I would have loved to go.

BTW if you are cooking brake pads every other session, you are not driving properly. That guy either had the wrong pads on there OR he needed to trail brake more, which is what you should be doing in a front drive car. I bet if you find pictures of him in the beginning of turns his brake lights will be off.
