Might be going to Proautosporsts track day on the 19th.

fir east?

import111 · 02-05-2011, 05:01 PM

Yup, east track. Will be the second time I have done east. I should be able to get lower lap times than last time, traffic permitting.

FIR east is all about the brakes... you'll want to have a brake pad with great feel and one that keeps performing when it gets hot... you on stock suspension? I found that it helps to underdamp the front compression to get more front tire bite... For whatever reason, I just don't do my best at FIR East - only running low 1:06's there... I may go there just to see if I can get in the 3s or 4s with a softer brake compound up front and my ABS now enabled... Tried running it w/o ABS last time and that was not good

XP10's front and back and Motul RBF600 fluid and my brakes worked great there and Arroyo Seco. I have never had the icing issue that people talk about or over heating either. I am on BC Racing BR series coilovers. I will keep you idea for more front bite in mind. Might have to try it out.

In case you haven't heard, looks like PIR is going to be shutting down its road course... sad day for AZ based racers!

Bad news... PIR - NASA AZ

Ouch. I remember taking my vette on there with the AZ vette guys.

I like FIR east and Arroyo Seco because they don't have walls to hit (a couple walls but way off track and not generally where you would slide off if you push too hard).

import111 · 02-09-2011, 09:53 PM

Is AMP open back up yet? I heard it was but their website is still down and I have not seen any track day info for them. Looking at the map, looks like there are no walls...is this correct?

XwChriswX · 02-09-2011, 10:18 PM

I've never seen that place open, I thought he had to build a bunch of safety barriers before being able to open. But he ran out of cash...??
