I tried RA this past July, got 2 sessions in (stuck behind an old dude in a Ferrari that wouldn't let anyone by) then cracked a ring land and destroyed a piston. New motor from RPG should be here in the next couple weeks. I'll be back for revenge next summer. Should definitely let me know when...

I'm always surprised at how physically and mentally exhausted I am at the end of a track day. Great advice

Been a part of this site for quite some time now, think this would be a good thread to post some insight/experience for both beginners and Vets. Always looking for tips to improve times or skills, so if you have anything from useful knowledge to techniques or preferences please share. I'm going...

My guess as well. Thinking ~530ish

Okay, I assume the majority of the coolant will be in the car before the first start up. So I can just drive it around and monitor the overflow tank and add when needed?

I've come to the conclusion that a proper break-in involves putting the motor under load withing the first 10 minutes of start-up. From everything I've read it seems this comes with the most success and least side effects (glazing from idling too long or revving without the car under load)...

Brainerd International Raceway https://www.birmn.com/karmageddon that’s for the event. Go here and go to like 1:45 seconds to see what goes on!

You have to make it out to Karmageddon (formerly know as Proving Grounds) September 8-10. Autocross, Roadcourse, Drag racing, drifting, car show, concert, and food. Blast of a weekend

Love the track, it’s definitely home for these cars. And the 3rs are great. I’m on my second set

Awesome thanks man I'll consider it! And where you from? I'm down in Rochester but usually track at Brainerd or over in Wisconsin at RA

Great idea, Lunds 93 tune wont be affected right? Having a higher octane doesnt matter (to an extent) but a lower octane rating than the tune calls for is an issue correct?
