  1. Interesting, not where I thought the off occurred when you mentioned it. Looks like compared to the prior lap he was into the rumbles on exit from T7, got on the gas while on the rumbles and hooked to the right onto the tire wall. 

    Text mentions he had the traction control off. Wonder if he had done this from the outset or just for this session. Typically keep the nannies on for folks starting out. 

  2. Rain will be fine as long as your tires have good tread. Brake a bit earlier in the braking zone depending on conditions. Shiny looking parts of the track in the wet have less grip.  Due to drainage patterns, track will puddle in a few places such as on the inside of T3 as you enter the carousel, the inside of T3d, and the inside of T6 after the silo  (6a on some track maps). Stay off the painted rumble strips in the wet, tend to be slippery. Stay on the track, grass is glass in the wet. 😁

  3. Selling my 2013 Lawrimore steel deck 7k car hauler (August 2012 build date). Owned since December 2012. I went further down the slippery slope and picked up a used enclosed trailer a few days ago so no longer need the open. Posted on CL for $2200 obo.

  4. Posting for a friend. Car is located in Port Washington. I'll have pics tomorrow.

    Details: 2006 330i sedan, sport package, 6spd. Black metallic, brown/ black interior. Well maintained, no lights or codes. Lots new during ownership, including shocks, wheel bearings, suspension items, brakes, timing chain, fuel pump, battery and more. 194,000 mi. Separate wheels with almost new snows available.

  5. Bring:

    -torque wrench and check lugs between sessions once things have cooled down

    -tire pressure gauge, may want to bump pressures up or down depending on your car. BFR has a compressor and air hose

    -extra quart or two of oil, check level between sessions once things have cooled down

    -small tool kit (sockets, screwdrivers etc), because racecar

    -cooler and water for you to drink. Sun will take it out of you, keep hydrated. The track sells ice.

    -Hat...same reason

    -windshield cleaner and paper towels to clean bug debries off windshield. RainX if it looks like rain.

    -fill up gas tank before getting to the track. Several gas stations just off of I90.  The track has gas on site but not cheap...cheaper though than RA

    -in car camera /GoPro, etc securely mounted. Impress your friends with your skills. Memory card so you can actually record.

    -remove loose stuff from car... you know the drill.

     

     

  6. Cleaning out more stuff I'm not using. I've got a set of four H&R e30 (57.1mm) 4x100 8mm wheel spacers and eight extended lug bolts (33 mm thread).  Part # on the spacers is:  16234571.

    Two spacers and the set of extended lug bolts are used, I bought these from Dan years ago who I think also bought them used. I used them for a couple of autox events.

    The other two spacers are same size/part# and new in box. Never used.

    $100 obo for everything
