2018 Track Day Videos

yaoxiao4 · 04-11-2018, 07:10 PM

my third ever track day, super slow, best I could do was 1:53 with 1:50 as best split

second time at Laguna Seca

I cooked my rotors and also got fuel starve after turn 4...even with 60% dots on the fuel :/, I'm just glad this was a counterclockwise track

Ever wondered what it like being on track with a Le Mans Prototype? Wait for the end. You'll see an LS powered Ginetta LMP3 pass me like i'm standing still.

I know that feeling of being passed. Had my ear drums blown out from the left side of my head to though the right side by a GT40 follow by a NACRAPER.

Rusty you seem to fit in your car very well with your helmet, my helmet is touching the head liner with the seat all the way down and with me scrunched down in the seat. Makes me wish I was shorter.

I am 6'1" and 205 and I have a couple of inches but I have a race seat mounted in fixed position so it sits as low as possible.

I still have touring seats so I may need to get some racing seats for track use. Are you using side mount brackets?

My last track day of the year in my Z.

Latest mod was the OS Giken LSD. It was a half year wait getting one for the 7AT!
But damn was the wait worthwhile. I ran faster times with the LSD and PS4S's than with the VLSD and Nexen SUR4Gs.
The PS4S's were getting too hot and losing grip, even with the cold day.

My experience with the PSS's. Is that they work well for about 20 minutes or until you overheat them. Then they get greasy. Then the real fun begins.

Haven't had to much of a chase to see what the PS4S's will do.

Pretty similar haha. They seem a little stickier overall. Especially in cold and wet! The Z was up there with AWD cars on a cold and wet autoX thanks to the PS4S.

I had a couple instances where the drop in grip caught me off-guard.
Once while braking, and I almost ran out of track. Another time while powering out of a turn and the rear kicked out a lot, far before I was expecting halfway through the exit. That was a bit more of a panty-pooper.

If you have a choice between 200TW tires and PS4S, I'd only recommend the PS4S on cold wet days.

OS Giken diffs are no joke. I really enjoy mine since I got the correct fluid in it.

If we do something like this, does our insurance co cover damages from a crash and will they frown upon it and raise rates?? Just wondering.
