Default Combining Business and Fun

Got to drive up to Battlecreek, MI from Chicago later today for business there tomorrow. Hmmm, guess what is just on my way? Gingerman raceway. They have open track after 5:30pm on T,W,Th for $60.

Going to go out and put harness bar, harness, and racepads back in the car. Probably change the Kahns out for the stickier S03's on ABT 25 wheels. Outta bleed the brakes, but I'll wait on that.

And, turn in the miles for company business. Nice

Default Only 2 cars there today. New Evo and Me........

Not sure how many laps I did but I put 60 miles on the TT while there and it did awesome. The EVO seemed to be just a tad better in the corners but I was faster on the straights.

It was so nice to get to make uncontested laps and work on doing the various corners well.

The S03's got real sticky. I ran 42 front and 38 rear psig hot. Set the front PSS9's on 4 and the rears on 3. I have the 19mm rear sway and Haldex controller. The car felt very balanced and never did the tail come out on me, or never did the car push any. Very happy with the handling, although I got a good bit of tire squeal.

I would suggest to anyone that getting this many laps for $60 is worth a 3 hour ride to the track anyday. I am still grinning.
