Really fun day!!
A few pics...

I am beyond impressed with the Koni Yellow shocks, H&R Race Springs, MM Front Sway Bar!
Look how nearly flat the car cornered!!!
GT 500 Brembos never faded, Motul 600 and Hawk DTC70's, Agent 47 cooling

Again, first time out with new suspension and brakes...
Yes, I can go faster everywhere

Very cool man! I like how your video has all of the info in it.

Ah, thank you.
5 years ago Telemetry would cost about 1500 bucks...
Now, Iphone app and OBDII plug and your all set!

I have used all the apps, but I like Track Addict the best.

Thanks again.

Whats stoppin ya??
How far are you from Barber??

Well, I just started doing HPDEs this year, two at Talladega Gran Prix Race Way (not the NASCAR track! LOL), one at Atlanta Motorsports Park, and one at Atlantat Motor Speedway. Being a NASCAR guy, getting to drive around AMS was incredible. I am jealous that you got to drive Homestead! I'd love to go there, but it's a little far for me, seeing that I live in north Alabama!

I defintely plan on doing Barber next year, since it's only about two hours from the house, and hopefully Road Atlanta and maybe even Daytona. My plan is to stop spending money on car mods and spend it on track time instead! LOL

Not to thread jack, but here's a video of AMS. It's the first track day the facility has hosted in several years.

Tracks like Barber, Road Atlanta, the "Real" Road Courses are MUCH more fun than the "Rovals" like Homestead, HMS is a great track, but compared to the others, not as fun. Sebring is WAY better than HMS and Daytona.

Smart to stop modding and spend on seat time. Your car has WAY more potential then you at this moment.

Just keep the consumables fresh and up to date (tires, fluids, etc) and go have fun!!

Enjoy!
