Finished up registering for a track day on this Saturday @ Streets of Willow.

The event organization this time is Speed Ventures. This one is supposed to be much better than Extreme Speed in terms of track day management. And they let passengers for the session, so I'll be taking my wife out to the track for a lap or two for fun. And my 86 track friend who is much faster me will be in my car giving me advice for a session. That will be fun.

I was going to post a track map but Google found me this. I remember this comparison done by Motor Trend from a year back. Please nice chart done at the same track. Both are GREAT cars for the money!

Does anyone know if this is a magnetic number or vinyl?

I don't like putting a sticker and taking it off every time I go to track. Something small like that, I don't mind having it on my car.

Here you go..



Does that guy have 17" front and 19" rear wheels?

Ok ok

Only noobs and hellafail guys go staggered on 86 platform. You go squared on this car, always.

17x9 +42 Mach V Awesome wheels in Gunmetal finish with 245/40/17 Bridgestone RE-11A tires

This is his car build thread over at 86 forum. Check it out! He's actually VERY fast. haha

I've got a 50% off on the next track day through Speed Ventures... so I'll probably go to Buttonwillow on December 20th or 21st.

Two track days baby! Can't wait to go to Buttonwillow. It's supposed to be one of the best in the west side!

oonowindoo

Buttonwillow is nice but getting there is not. and you pretty much have to stay at the motel that is about 20 miles away.

many can get up to 100+ on the straight... so stay on the right side on the straight oh and that is where most of the bystanders are watching

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Yeah, it's 140 miles away from my place in LA. It's not too bad. haha

I will definitely stay on the right side on the straight. bahahaha

But then again, there are a lot of people with suspension/wheels/tires who are lapping at 2:03.... which is pretty insane. I'm sure I'll be A LOT slower, but people really underestimate this car. haha

oonowindoo

you can make up the times in the corners but in the straight where all the people are watching... there is not much you can do

oonowindoo

friends FRS 2:01 with minor bolt ons at BW

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Damn. That's like shitting bricks if you ride in the car... haha Nice driving for sure.

A chief engineer of GT86 talking about how the car was born. Very cool.

A cute promo video of Scion Magazine. I usually don't like Rocket Bunny FRS but this video makes them look pretty good. haha

Alright. The registration has been done.

12/6 - Streets of Willow
12/20 - Buttonwillow



I got a 50% discount on the BW. $75 for that day baby!

RPhilMan1

I heard you guys are getting a good amount of rain over there.

Will it affect anything?

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Yeah, traction!

Phil...so, my Mustang buddy had to turn in his car and traded for a Fiesta ST. He let me drive it the other day...damned thing was fun and pretty quick!

RPhilMan1

I wonder what he thinks about the size differences. And weight.

I have yet to drive a Fiesta ST. I wonder how much different it feels from the Focus ST.

Get some pics!

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Well...the funny thing is it's because of a family issue and having to turn the Mustang in and it wasn't cost effective to take the upside down on his 2013 to trade up to the 2015 directly. So, instead, he went economical and leased the Fiesta because the low payment with his upside down was reasonable. He also said that the residual on the Focus was worse than the fiesta since they are so cheap...so he opted for it. He says with head/exhaust/intake and tune he can get 60 more HP to the wheels. He's gonna do it for sure...
He works for Ford.

oonowindoo

Good amount by LA standard only.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Yeah, it's pouring in LA.

SOW track is about an hour and half North. It seems like they will clear out by tomorrow, so I don't think it'll be a factor on Saturday! I hope so!

oonowindoo

track + rain = fun

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

or

An open track like SOW is fun in the rain. A track with walls and barriers with little runoff = I'd opt out.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Yeah, it'll be fine! No walls on both SOW and Buttonwillow.

OMG OMG

Daniel, you should sign up for Buttonwillow on 20th. It's not THAT far from Bay Area.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Well.. I'm going to get a ride in this car tomorrow at the track. He's fast....

Costco

Ooh, Ted's BRZ. One of my favorite builds. I've seen that car in person, that turbo looks real nice

I want to go to BW, but it's not gonna happen this month. It will more likely happen when I switch back to 91.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Yeah, he was at all the track events that I've went before. It looks sick in person.

E85 eats up gas!

Woaaaw really
Take a video

oonowindoo

i like his taillight

Take video, we said.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Just got home.

So tired.

First-ever spin out. Nothing happened. Just some dirt on the wheel.

Shaved off +5 seconds from my last time.

Got to ride in that Turbocharged BRZ for 8 laps. I learned SO MUCH from it. My next session after riding that car was completely different. My time got improved by 2 seconds off the lap consistently. I realized I was doing so many things incorrectly.

And yeah, his BRZ..... is insane. The amount of grip it gets...is just mind boggling. And the car was surprisingly very smooth and fast. Thought it would be WTF crazy in the car, but it really wasn't.

He said he has been to +20 or 30 track days this year. His car was turbocharged for a long time.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

There was a black R8. It sounded beautiful and was hauling ass on the front straight.



There were couple GTRs / +10 S2Ks / +10 FRS/BRZs / +10 Miatas and a lot of M cars and Audi S cars.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

I got my GoPro vids. Will upload it tomorrow. My last session felt VERY nice. I was playing with everything off and TC off/VSC sports on. My times were similar, but it's so much comforting to drive with VSC sports on.

Nice! I wish the nearest track wasn't two hours away from me.
