I have 3 grounds passes for this Friday July 6. Anyone interested in going?
I cannot take a day off work so I cant use the passes.

Let me know if anyone is interested.

 

bump for anyone that missed it

 

Just an update for people who missed the race.

Friday practice
Went ok but have the wrong compound of pads on it. was too soft for the track.

Saturday Qualifying
Went with a different pad but the brake rotors were getting way to hot around 550f and crack both front rotors in 5 laps. 6th place out of 50cars

Race 1
Made some better ducking to the brakes. Finshed 3rd in class

Sundays race
The rain was off and on all day and we expected it to rain in the middle of our race so we went with the rain tires and rain setup.
on the first lap got bumped and turned around and fell back to 8th. So we made our way back up the field in rain setup.
Finshed 3rd in class and the rain only started when our race finshed.

I have an in car camera from the whole weekend and i will try and get it up.

 

Yeah please post an in-car video. I have some track-side video of the Friday practice. I'll try to post them when I have a chance.

The Speed touring cars cooked their brakes at turn 3 too. I was on the outside of Ontario Dr. and the stench of brake pads was nasty. I guess very few tracks allow the touring cars run up to Vmax and then brake to a standstill. The FWD cars were bottoming out big time turning into Ontario Dr. too.

 

i cut about 30min out of the video

here you go guys for anyone that was wondering what happen in the first lap to us. it is on the video a bump from the talon.
