if you're running in the beginner/easy group (which it sounds like you will if it's your first time), track day is nothing more than 20 to 25 minutes of driving fast and learning to pick the right lines at a time. then a nice long break. then another 20 to 25 minutes of driving, and rinse and repeat. you don't have to put pedal to the metal and redline every shift if you don't want; in fact, unless you are a super talented driver, i'd argue that it's better you don't focus on that for your first time.

that car looks like it's taken care of. a fully oem car can shine at track days. you're ready, stop with the excuses :tape:
No I run the intermediate to advanced group no point by required, I've tracked all my cars previous to this car including a 09 wrx with similar mods no upgraded turbo or e85 (I'm no stranger to track days). That car had 20,000 miles on it and wasn't pinning it out every gear. It was my DD at the time and the ringlands still let go, it was protuned by a very reputable protuner (Yimisport).


So it's definitely not how I drive at the track 2-3 warm up laps 2-3 hot laps 2-3 cool down laps. I even stop before the session finishes, it's just how EJ engines are, bearings/ ringlands are the weak points. Once I build the bottom end, install oil cooler, and get a better intercooler I'll bring it out. But until then I'll just baby it around the canyons :plane:

Yeah, might be dry now, but it's typically a giant mud pit. Went through some mud puddles this weekend but the deep water I'm good with avoiding, haha.

Lil puuuusssies!!!
Scared of water ...just take care of your shiiiit and not let crap sit for a week crusting and drying up!!

And what the hell is the point of having a goddamn snorkel for !!

Dust, which is what they were actually made for originally. I'll be going through Afton again December most likely at the end of a 3 day MR run, but I won't be going as fast and I'll be going straight to the car wash after I get home.

Now that's a legit whip ...factory made none of that other crap.
I didn't see that one coming, especially coming from you brotha!!! I had a red one with a a black top for a couple years, then I decided to have the complete interior done all black with red stitching and had it completely repainted all red got rid of the black but added black rims....and sold it to a buddy of mine.
The nsx is like driving on a monorail system ...truly a drivers sports car.
I miss that damn thing I will have to try and dig up a pic ...
After that I picked up a Lotus all black ...which was like driver a badass go cart which didn't last to long with the amount of tickets I was racking up on top of my payment and insurance I let her go and bought 4 door benz and left it stock....no more tickets after that ..hahaha
