My observations from the day:
1. Just because you own a sports car doesn't mean you know how to drive.
2. The G-body front suspension design really is just as crappy as everybody says it is.
Let me explain,
#1. I got caught behind some old dude driving a 370Z not once, not twice, but three damn time! Most of the laps I was trapped behind him, he was fairly good, except for these three section where he totally sucked. He was way off line and slow. The tragedy is that he did it in the same spots, lap after lap. Track days are for learning to sharpen driving skills. That dude wasted his money. What made it worse, is that he'd get a jump on me off the corners and when I did keep up and wanted to pass, he never gave me the pass sign. He was soo slow after getting caught behind him the second time, A Honda Fit caught us! I finally just went out last in the group and let the field run off on the warm-up lap, then took off after them. It was like having the track to myself. And not having to deal with "fabrizio" and his fucking Nissan.
#2. G-bodies use a spindle with a short height which causes the contact patch on the inside tire to shrink when the body rolls going through a corner. The way to fix it is to use a B/F-body spindle, and if I run more of these events, I might consider the cost worth it.
anyways, The 'Bu was rock solid all day long. The Hawk HP Plus pads were awesome, but late in the day the pedal was getting just a bit soft late in the sessions, so some brake ducting might be in order. Here's the vid:
Now, it's time for catgirls. I should be getting my Strike Witches boxers and the first of two Elis of Asobi ni iku yo! figures soon........
That's all for now. Catch 'ya on the flipside......
