If you are a quick driver, you will probably start experiencing brake fade and possibly losing your brakes. Oil temp will probably not be an issue in October.
You might have to fill up after every session as the decreasing radius right hander will cause problems.
Yes the pickup can't get to the gas once the gas is on the other side. If you look at the fuel pump design, you will see the car has a very tiny amount of reserve within the fuel assembly. Once you used that up, you are SOL. If you are lucky, it will refire immediately. If not, prepare to wait an hour or get a tow. At the track, my car always refired. At the autox, my car had to wait one minute before it refired. On the street, it never restarted until I got a tow truck

Strange I didn't run accross the problem when I was reading before though because I was specifically looking for track day issues 
Is the tank that baffled that even with gas it can't get to the pickup while sitting? And to answer a previous question, most of the turns are right handers! Should I ask them to run counterclock next time? 
So,,,, are there any other quirks I should know about before I hit Thunderbolt in November?!  |
