First Time Trackday

[mid life crisis]

if ya recon ya heads only worth 100 bucks but a 100 buck helmet. when i raced speedway i used to buy a new helmet evry 2yr and always brought a simpson reccomended for speedway . and put new seat belts in every yr regardless of what the old ones looked like , safety saftey safety you have absouletly no idea how hard a concrete wall is till ya drill one head on at full noise .or ya car is cartwheeling down the straight feels like .20 yrs racing my advice to you would be spend as much as you can on safty gear and the go fast bits later

I always run with the window down. Helps me stay cool, and allows easy hand signals to other drivers if they want to pass me.

Come on Greg, noone ever passes the GTS4

I always run with the heater on full bore. I get about an extra 2 laps out of the car before the coolant temps soar... the coolant from the engine radiator is also passed through a small heat exchanger in the fireall for the heater...so keeping it on full bore takes additional heat out of the coolant

..its the poor mans aftermarket radiator to make sure your car will last the 4 laps...but the car gets friggin hot inside...secret is to delude yourself you are double stiniting in an enduro...its all practice for the major league
