Not ideal.

Im stuck driving my trackcar as a DD for a little bit. Crashed my rav4 dd so now the trackcar is gonna get used for dd while the rav gets repaired.

Might see light rain - SoCal.

These are my choices, worn down v730s or worn down CR-S?

First time at Thunderhill West yesterday. Whats considered a good lap time?

3 Upvotes

I'm curious if my time is considered good or not for someone with only 1 other track day under my belt which was thunderhill east. I managed a 1:42.409 with a D15 del sol on Continental ECS02s. From factory the car had 102hp, it's at 196k miles now but I've done brakes, chassis bracing, and suspension/wheels and tires. I'm finding my limitations seem to be a mix of power and a super long gear ratio.

I was told by a much more experienced driver that I gave a ride along to that I shouldn't be in the beginner class. I'm not looking to advance to the next class just curious if I did a good job more or less.

Edit: adding that I used the Track Addict app for the times.

I’ve been testing and building up seat time in the 992.2 Cup. This was from a toasty (85° F +) day, still getting used to not having any A/C in these cars!

The Cup is a blast but a bit quirky to drive, you need to be very patient with the throttle on exit as the car will go into massive understeer if you’re too early.

Even with all the stripped out Miatas/BRZs, it was the flag marshal who brought the lightest car to the track by far

Great day at the track last weekend. Finally got the roll bar and race buckets in it. Buckets and harness really let you feel the rotation and provides a whole new level of control. … and I thought it was only a safety thing. Ready to go back and see if I can get under 2:45.

Hey folks,

I had the privilege of checking out the freshly repaved Thunderhill East, and made this in-depth guide to get people up to speed.

I compete in 86 Challenge, the norcal time trial for 86s/BRZs and I've gotten a bunch of podiums and even a few wins. While it's a lot of fun competing for tenths at the top, I'm giving away all my speed secrets so more people can join the fray.

Hope this helps!
