DLo's Track Day Chronicles

DLo

Event: SoCal HPDE – Streets of Willow (SoW) – 09/01/2012
Temp: 95 Degrees F

This was the first time running with the SoCal HPDE group and I must say I enjoyed myself. They arranged a day at SoW running CCW in the morning and CW during the afternoon. We got 8 sessions in if you can believe that, which meant each session was only 20 mins long. This seemed to work out perfectly for me though since I am only working with the stock 2012 oil cooler in the dead of summer. Right as my oil started to heat up I was off. I spent the next 10-15 mins checking a few things on the car (i.e. tire pressure, etc), watched the next sessions and then before I knew it I was back on track. I was really skeptical about the condensed and seemingly rushed scheduled, but it turned out to be one of favorite track days to date! Sina (SE5spd) and I along with the San Diego Z32 club hung out for most of the morning. It was a good time. I wouldn’t hesitate running with the SoCal HPDE group again.

Linked/embedded below are my best laps (captured with Hero2 HD), one going CCW and the other going CW. I can push the boundaries a lot more after watching the videos along with using some alternate lines…in due time. Enjoy!
