Lapping Day - HPR, Colorado

supunna_picta · 11-11-2013, 12:23 PM

Attended a lapping day event at High Plains Raceway yesterday - great weather and good fun. I'm running a 25 row oil cooler, worked perfectly as expected. I installed stainless brake lines and the 'blue' dot 4 fluid beforehand, also worked brilliantly. Stock pads up front finally wore out after this event so I'll be upgrading my rotors and pads.

I think I was having fuel starvation issues (at half a tank) which had never happened before - every time I hit the last right hand corner before the straight I couldn't always rev up in 3rd or I would shift to 4th at red line when it would let me and the car just bogged. Every where else on the track it was fine. I didn't want to pay $9.50 a gallon to fuel up at the track and HPR is in the middle of nowhere so gas was a trek, but it was the end of the day mostly and I had had enough fun. No video this time, I didn't feel like messing with the gopro.

Rare sighting

Nice looking car, love the red

I used to get it at about 1/2 tank.

Not no more.
