Default Two F's one track.

lol So yesterday I had the pleasure to run a private track day with fellow club member 5ltrv8. It was at my home track Pitt Race and the weather looked pretty good. My last time I was there it was 90 degrees and I set a new PB of 2:01 so with temps being much cooler I was ready to get my 1:5X! I have had an issue previously with wheel studs breaking so I got a hold of some ARP studs to address the issue. So the shop through them on over weekend but a wheel speed sensor got damaged in the process. I usually run with sport mode and traction control on since I have a 2010 torsen differential. I figured it was time I learned my true skill level no ABS, no VSC and to Traction Control. Needless to say I was about 3-4 seconds off my PB and then there was this . . .

It was epic... so fun to have the rarity of two ISF’s at the same event.
Pitt Race is a phenomenal track with so many technical aspects. Look forward to splitting time between this track and Mid Ohio next year.
