The Track LOWERED my Tire Pressure??

Congrats on your first track day! I did my first in January If i'm not mistaken the cold tire pressure of our cars is supposed to be 35 psi, right?

Anyway, if you watch your dash you'd notice that your TPMS light probably came on after the track tech lowered your pressure. This is completely normal. Then after a few laps the TPMS light turns off because your tire temps have gone up, therefore increasing volume and pressure.

When I hit the track the first time I almost forgot to drop my pressure, I dropped it from 35psi to around 29psi. You definitely don't want to blow a tire on the track
