Xenonk Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 ROFL.. Between 50 and 54 seconds in, what car goes spinning off the track in front of you.. hilarious.. hahaha BWHAHAHAHAHAHA... it was a Spec Miata who was a skilled driver, but it was his first time ever running at VIR.. so even if you know how to drive, if you dont know the track, you can still mess up.

Currently I am working my E30 as I will be the 6th SpecE30 racer for Salazar Racing.. during the Enduro, we ran 2 cars. For the sprint, we had 1 driver for those races, and for practice, there was 3 of them on track. I didnt bring mine down because it was just too cold to be sitting in a car that has no heat I rather drive comfortably in the GT with heated seats call me a pansy driver for now.

Xenonk Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 do tires and brakes usually wear out after a weekend at the track? it all depends on how you drive. If you take it easy, they will last. Sometimes I have seen other regular drivers on the highway do more damage to their cars than track cars. Brake pads dont wear out THAT much if you have track pads.. and street tires can last a bit over the weekend.. unless you are over-driving the car that much, yea, expect to see some wear. My R-compounds tires have an average life span of about 1000 to 1500 miles. Some drivers may be lucky to get 1000 out of them.. I dont drive as hard as others. Most my tires wears out the shoulders than they do in the meat of the contact patch.. (I spend too much time turning and not enough on the brakes) Track brake pads last just about the same time, if not, less. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NutBucket Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Man, that Integra sounded GREAT when it went past. Something about 8500rpm harmony from a Honda engine that sounds GREAT! Makes me miss the H22 from my Accord for that reason alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
