Track forum general chit chat.

There is no way 2.8 up front is enough. I'm running 3.9 and 295 tires and wearing the hell out of the outside edges.

1MOREMOD · 05-26-2016, 08:20 PM

Depends on driver and tire.

M3 Number 86 · 05-26-2016, 08:33 PM

Bring fuel because if you try to leave at lunch you'll take an hour to come back in. Or you can pump 100

roastbeef · 05-26-2016, 08:41 PM

Wrapped my exhaust today. Starts at about the rear control arm bushings and ends just before the cv's. Probably not necessary, but it was fun.

Thanks. I wish I went a little longer to get a little more ahead of the cv's but it's probably fine.

I got some good quality clamps and wrapped them backwards for more aerodynamic spirals. LOL

I have two 5 gallon jugs. They don't have 91 to pump into the car?

DiXiS 18 · 05-26-2016, 09:37 PM

You need to be either in a full racecar or have jugs to pump 100+. 91/93 (I forget which) they have on pump, cash only at the top of every hour.

You in b2 now? Heard you did some massive weight reduction. Don't cheat!!

roastbeef · 05-26-2016, 10:03 PM

I have two 5gal jugs if any of you cheaters need to borrow them.

M3 Number 86 · 05-26-2016, 10:23 PM

I'm having track support bring a couple for me.

Because racecar need to run on 1/2 tank max. lol

admranger · 05-26-2016, 11:10 PM

For all the guys cranking in extra front camber, remember that you'll lose some braking capability the more camber you add. Adjust your braking points accordingly if you have notes from previous sessions...

I've already decided if I need to leave for gas and come back I'm driving around everyone and just gonna say my session is in 5 min and I can't be late.

roastbeef · 05-27-2016, 09:45 AM
