Track Junkie
so here is the track day in a nut shell
got out there first session and with traffic and heat, couldn't do better than a 2:03 with the 3 laps I had before my brakes went to absolute trash. so I pitted. I let the car cool down and was talking to a lot of people about the issue and it seems like I was just over working the brakes at this point. HP+ pads are great for a street tire, but on r comps and no to mention im still on the base model caliper/rotor, I was able to boil the Motul 5.1 brake fluid which is a pretty damn good fluid. so I sat the 2nd session out and bled my brakes for any chances of air and sure enough everything was good. So the time attack session was coming up and I aired my tires way up. 1st session I had them in the 32-35 ballpark and I was running them like at 40 or so lol this ended up giving me a pretty crisp feel of everything and made the car turn in very very well. first hotlap in I ran a 2:00 even after almost dying on riverside lol and that lap was followed by 1:59 lap that I was extremely happy with as you can tell of the video lol
THE 1:59 VIDEO!!!!

went back into the pits where I continued to express my happiness lol still had the brake issues as you can tell by how early I was letting off to go straight to hammering on the brakes lol and it wasn't doing a very good job at stopping to where I had to use my trans to help rotate a little more before I died. I cant stop thanking everyone who took part in helping me with advise and what not since day 1. im blessed with an amazing family and friends!

because I cant afford it, itd rather invest in other parts that aid lack of power. with road racing power only does so much for you can asks a lot more out of youre car as far as brakes, tires. etc. I like it where it is and its plenty fun. one day maybe with some sponsor/support I would love to build something to leave the world in awe but I simply cant as of now sir
