Congratulations Shahid! You're no longer a track "cherry boy". I am glad to see you are now hooked. Its a lot to digest the first time out but you'll do better and better as you gain knowledge and begin to understand they way your Z handles under some stress. A good set of tires and brakes certainly helps out.

Thanks! Yeah I think I'm getting a hold of it fairly well. Everytime I'm turning my car now I'm thinking "hit the apex"

Probably gonna stop modding now just to save up for tires and track time.

If the UPS delivery comes on time today I should be able to get the used RE050A's installed after work today. I have a feeling the rears might not last until my next track event because of me having so much fun with the extra grip. Probably gonna hit the drag strip before then too. If they do make it to my next track event, they probably will be done by the end

Yeah I wish it was longer too, but it's better than nothing. That and it was only $50 for the session.

Only reason the Hyperdrives were on the little track was because of Hyperfest. Usually they are on the Main Circuit.

b1adesofcha0s · 06-18-2012, 11:45 AM

Yeah there was just so many other things going on that day that every other circuit was occupied. The HPDE's were on the main circuit, LeMons race on Shenandoah, and the drifting was on some other circuit.

I plan on going in August ... just not sure yet if I am doing HPDE or the Hyperdrive thing again.

No problem! You should try it out sometime, I'm sure you'll love it. Just might be a bit of a problem with your Z being a convertible.....

I believe Summit allows 'verts at Jefferson. I know they do for sure, at Shenandoah. Not sure about the Main, though.
