[QUOTE="kevinatfms, post: 16441608, member: 39344"] Another great day at the track! Summit Point - Jefferson Circuit for the Get Fast Events Summer Trackcross Series. So glad they decided to hold the event and every was very professional and safe when it came to the COVID-19 prep and implementation. They put on an incredible event and everything went extremely smooth within the scheduled time. Now, onto how the car did....great! Placed 18/70 in the morning round and 23/67 in the afternoon round. If i didnt sign up for expo runs i would have placed 2nd in street FWD turbocharged(SF2) in the morning and 3rd in street FWD turbocharged(SF2) in the afternoon. I battled it out with a new body Civic Si most of the day. Fastest was a PTuning Scion XA that was turbocharged, HUGE wings and massive tires which is owned by a tech at PTuning. Thing was hooked all day long and made some serious power. He was 5+ seconds faster than everyone in class all day long. The few little upgrades i did really helped, especially the seat. Once the belt is cinched tight with the CG Lock i no longer have to brace myself at every corner using my knees. This was a massive improvement for me and really helped me focus on not overdriving the car(i am very good at overdriving this car). The Federal RS-Pro's worked out great. I did overheat them one run and by the end of the run i was .05 slower than i was the run before. I felt the front end just plow through turn 11 and it just understeered to the moon. I ran pressures at 39/36 to start, found they were a bit high, so lowered them on runs 2 through the end at 37/34 which felt nearly perfect with no rollover up front. I also had my first oopsie where i shifted from 4th, thinking i was going to 3rd, and instead went to 5th. Car fell on its nose and i lost a significant amount of time. Killed what would have been my fastest afternoon run. Still ran a 70.3 which was quick for the day. This was the 2nd run of the afternoon round and car was hooked. I was kicking myself for not paying attention a bit more. A few things i noticed, brakes are insanely good for stock pads, RBF600, stoptech lines, Boomba brake ducts and stock rotors.
