Default Surfdog track plan Friday sep 6 2013

I have to run out the door here but this will be a place to build our track day plan for this friday

Here is my bring list.
1 helmet
2 car trailer
3 spare oil
4 painters tape for numbering
5. 5 gallon gas can for topoff to avoid fuel starving in right hand turns. I've been told topoff between runs is important!
6. gopro camera (if I can find a good mount to make it work)

I can meet up anytime (6am?) at Denver west or airport or wherever is convenient and don't mind hauling your spares and gas etc. on my car trailer!

Track day at high plains raceway! We need to be there about 7 am for the 7:30 drivers meeting.

They go every Friday this month (I can probably only do this first one)

Here is the schedule.

Woot! My track shoes are on! (OEMs with some tread left) now I just need to chase down a cheap helmet and a carboy fuel can!

here is a link to some good track readying tips for our 370s:
370 as a track car

I have:

1. brake oil cooler (25 row Stillen kit)
2. track brake pads (HP plus race pads) going on tomorrow
3. high temp brake fluid (Motul RBF600)
4. somewhat disposable (OEM Potenza) tires to burn up. (went on today... I'm glad I kept em around)

I do not have:

1. cooling ducts (I'm hoping race pads and fluid will suffice)
2. Fuel starvation fix (I plan to top off every stop from a 5 gallon jug I'm bringing)
3. Diff cooler (but I don't use VLSD so I believe its ok) (also I did add a NISMO vented diff cover when I put in the Quaife helical LSD)
