I just finished my first HPDE weekend! no more autox for me, I'm officially hooked on the speed crack. It was with NASA SE at NCCAR which is not really a race track but more of a test track. There is no curbing or reference markers, but plenty of different elements to drive. After I lapped most of the field twice in each session of DE1, they booted me up to DE2 for safty reasons. My car was just so much faster than the others and I knew how to drive it. DE2 was more fun with faster cars and fewer of them, but I was still faster! Having Autox'd the car for so many years and perfecting the balance of the car really paid off on the track. I could put the car anywhere on the track and it would stick (there were limits of course) I'm going to do HPDE2 at VIR in July and maybe one more this year, we'll see how the funds go. I'm driving my DD Trans Am, so I may only do a few more before the more race oriented Camaro gets finished. Oh, and I leaned all the same things FASTFATBOY did! I need to flush the brakes and fill the system with Blue, had some brakeing issues and soft pedal a few times, other than that the car worked perfectly. Perfect race weekend, drive the car up and unload it, run the piss out of it, pack it up and drive home. Doesn't get any better than that.

Fun as hell ain't it?

Let the modding begin, hello....Summit racing......

You have any clutch isuues?

My car is already modded to the extent of SCCA ESP rules with the exception of an underdrive pully. No clutch issues at all, only had a 5-4-3 shift at then end of the front staight and progressive 3-4 and later on 4-5 shift halfway down the front. Some brake issues, but most of them were my fault for braking too late at about 130 going into a 180 degree u turn. I need to flush the brakes and fill with Blue for next time. Pads held up fine.
