Right on Rich !! I heard that track is pretty fast. How did the car feel? Any issues with brakes or fade?? Hope you are doing well buddy. Glad you had another F. It cool hitting INDE together. Always nice to have a fellow F'er along.

Thanks bud. Im trying to really fine tune my skills and have some fun. That traction loss was from too much corner entry speed on the previous corner that led to over steer, that led to poor entry, and a bad exit. I think my lines are pretty good. I didnt go as deep into the braking zones because my rotors are not near new anymore and I didnt push as hard through that hair pin turn because I didnt want another seat squeak. Still had a great time and everyone played nicely. The heat scared away I would say easily 50-70% of the regulars. It was wide open

Do you have stock exhaust? I like infineon, but I think there is a sound limit like Laguna.

i was wondering about the noise restriction at AZ motor sports park. I was fine with the oem unit. I am pretty sure that the Joe Z exhaust is not louder than 92 db, but they do sound checks before they let us out to make sure. Fines are pretty big

No, it's not pretty fast. I raced bikes at Sears Point years ago. There are four braking zones and only two genuinely slow turns (7 & 11), and the only fast part of the track is from 8a to 11. The rest of the track you modulate the throttle and life is good, even with something 4lbs/hp. Just don't get on the gas out of the carousel too early. AMHIK.
