Hahaha, yes. Thank you both to you and Kevin for the lesson in having fun, that was a blast

I don't have experience with the Falken, but I think the Maxxis pace is similar to regular 200tw. Less grip than super 200 tw (like RE71R). Faster than Hankook RS4. Wear is ok. Not great in rain.

What catback is this? I need to quiet my car down

You're not the only one saying that, unfortunately for my wallet. Lol.

P&L equal length catted header into JDL ultra quiet midpipe, the catback is a legsport "race" catback that I had imported from Japan during COVID, with an additional varex electric muffler inline. You can run it dead quiet for the street or in "loud" trim which is what you are hearing in the video. Even loud mode is not truly that loud, but I am old.

Slow down Marc I need to catch up 🤣

The BRZ is good for this course, but by this point I had begun to modify the car for HPDE circuit course use, and ultimately it hurt the performance on "autocross" type courses like this one. So, it was still good but if you dialed it in more for this it would be much better than what you see in the video. Either way, a day driving is always fun.

You were really moving out there. How worn were they when you started the day?

@@be0tchx you too man, and I was using the wear indicators for traction at start of the day

Is that you passing in the rocketship at 6:47?

@@be0tchx Different car. Ours is car 1554.

Thanks for the tip. I am looking forward to improving there (and nearly everywhere else!)

It's a fun one. One of my favorites.

@@be0tchx I'll see you down there next year then!

P&L header and TRD catback (the one with the D-shaped tips). Rest of the exhaust is stock.

BRZ drivin Thanks. Sounds good

@@scottr999100 Thanks - I was trying to pick something that wouldn't be too much for the street. They occasionally pop up used on ebay, that's where I got mine.

Thanks! It's a fun track. There's definitely a few more seconds that could be taken off this laptime, but we had a good time out there. Hope to see you at Pocono.

I don't plan to attend that event. If you go out there definitely shoot some video.

Thanks! Good to see you out there. It can't be easy driving with all the power that you have in the rain, but you were definitely on it pretty good!

be0tchx Thanks, if all goes well I'll be ending the season at NJMP in October I believe the dates 12th to the 14th I might get on the track at NJMP in September, I don't know if I wanna participate with hook on driving, SCCA track night in America both have upcoming events there.

Nice, I'll probably be at that NASA Thunderbolt date in October as well. Not sure if I'll be back out there before that, but we'll see.

Cool if all goes well I will see you there, great driving

Hey! That was a blast. Hope the rest of your day was fun. You are heavily featured in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-42hMI-HZLjM.html

It is taped to the top of the bumper, just below the bottom of the trunklid.

Run group 2. I spent most of the day fixing a troublesome and reoccurring boost leak, though. So unless you were under the hood of my car you might not have seen me :P

+be0tchx haha! That stinks. I was in group 2 also but can't say I remember you on track. I'll have to go back and look at some more video.

+be0tchx I do have you on video, but just as you were going into the pit. I think it was the 2nd session of the day.

Ah, yes. The pit lane, my natural habitat.

+wenger828 Either Racerender or Sony Vegas. Racerender has a really easy interface for overlays.

It got a lot icier there than I thought and I couldn't get out of the understeer that I had created. I tried to rotate with some gas, to lift, to trail brake, everything just lead to going off there. I should have turned in before the ice patch to get the car facing the left.

ah i see the car before you started the turn alot earlier

He was a lot better at driving. Somewhere in the longer video, I am following his line trying to learn something, and literally on the same line as him, I get stuck in the snow. Same cars same tires, same everything. A little humbling.

e5mikey Thanks for the kind words. I found the trip surprisingly affordable, I'd say get out there at some point when you have the chance. The area surrounding the track is quite scenic and the people were all quite friendly.
