LandShark Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Had an absolute blast yesterday at Buttonwillow Race Track. Lot's of Subarus with a scattering of BMWs, Audi S4s, a Lotus Elise, Porsche GT3, and a race-prepped Fiat. Here are some group pics. I've got lots of under-the-hood pics on my other camera but left the damn cable at home, so I can't download them here at work. I'll post those up later tonight. Also have some great, hot lap video footage taken from a pedistal mounted to the sunroof outside of my LGT. 3 laps on the tail of an M3. Stayed close the whole time. I need to figure out how to host the video still. Any volunteers? http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a373/BOXRPWR/PICT0013.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a373/BOXRPWR/PICT0015.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a373/BOXRPWR/PICT0016.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a373/BOXRPWR/PICT0017.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandShark Posted June 28, 2005 Author Share Posted June 28, 2005 A few more tidbits: 150 total track miles, 9.2 mpg avg on track, sucked a whole tank dry faster than a camel at a riverbank. Here are my poor Falken Azenis tires after a hard day's exercise. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a373/BOXRPWR/PICT0021.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a373/BOXRPWR/PICT0022.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostjunkie Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 The pics of the tires is why anyone considering running a full track day should get a set of R-compounds, or use an older set of tires with minimal tread depth. I once ruined a one week old set of street tires at a track day. The next time I went, I got a set of used tires that had about 30% tread depth left and they held up fine. Actually still have them on that car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
