Would I be correct that the students will be instructed in an air conditioned room near by - I pray...I`m am thinking about the heat and humidity. Or would that be a tent in the field with a wet rag as the preferred cooling item. Honestly, Liz will melt in the heat, so I betting on the cool class ro...

So there will be garages available?
Do you know how many and the price.
Is this only done at registration?

The brakes fall apart from track heat. I run Hawk Plus. Can not use race pads because there are just too hot I'm not following - what is falling apart because of the heat? I did'nt understand that part either. Hell I run stock caliper/rotors on my 328is with PFC 01 pads and I don't have any problem...

"They confirmed it on Y-tube because you can hear the motor being held back just for a moment with trail breaking in some classes." I really doubt any of them are on the brakes into 4.If you hear the motor being "held back",that is called monitor or maintenance throttle..you are...

CP - great info on rain track work. Loved the video!!! In the rain, it`s all about gentleness as one gets comfortable with very limited traction. My car has been very safe and nearly neutral as long as I can find the unused areas and avoid the shiny stuff. Big difference in the car`s handling when i...

Yes you are right about left foot braking putting excessive heat in to the brakes. And you burn more gas. So one has to watch that. But no, the damage was not caused by left foot braking because the final day of tracking was the only day I applied this technique. It seems to be a defect in either th...

just caught that. You`re right. It was some place past the bridge. I checked this out with a few guys. Would it be possible to keep the speed and use a tiny bit of trail break to try to keep the front end bite as one falls down the shoot? They confirmed it on Y-tube because you can hear the motor be...

Hi Will. Running Dunlop Z-1 , 200 wear rate. Fronts are 10mm wider :245/ 17- not much space in the well Found this car is nearly untrackable with wider rears Carl is correct, slow down and any car will start to turn. You would not believe how slow the stock car has to go! I don't want to complain bu...

Only have a minute but can go into more detail later. Carl, now that's what I like - your help one on one. I listen well. At least that's what I've been told. Will, the understeering thing will be looked at, but I've accommodated the problem with trail braking and left foot Braking. I don't want to ...

Does anyone use the R3 Head and Neck restraint system here? In the stock class, driving a car with many air bags, do you think safety is covered or does the weight of a helmet put you at risk of severe injuries that would make the R3 good insurance. I understand it works wth a 3 point belt and no s...

Greg, I said it was just a dream.
All these ideas are being looked at and are already being tried.
I didn't want to mod the suspension.
What I might try is a wider front tire.
Traction control is always off.

Lots of info. Great help. But Carl " don't drive in the rain" - now that hurt. As with that Drifting thing , you guys pull no punches. That apparently rooky-ish question about whether R compound could fix an understeer tendency may have upset you, but I've read in here that no question is ...

Carl, that is the kind of info I was hoping to get. It sounds like I would be smart to forget about Hoosiers simply because their limits will be beyond my ability But on the other hand a RA-1 will be controllable. "No tire will cure the problem of going too fast for corner entry. I now agree wi...
