Lower budget......I couldn't afford Kevin Costner or the dog. Less crying though.
The Art of Racing a Camaro in the Rain
- Thread starter 351stang

$125 bucks with a coupon code and an SCCA membership gets you almost an hour of time on track.
But how much life did you chew off the tires? CMP is great, but the surface is like a belt sander on the tires.
I get eight track days off the fronts and four-ish on the rears. I have a sweet-heart deal with a local Goodyear dealership and a full set of tires is $1050 out the door. You really can't argue the economics of road racing, economics of running a sub-10 second drag car, or anything remotely competitive. It's about $250 in tires, brakes, gas, etc for 1-2 hours on track. Don't tell my wife.
It was well over a grand a day to run 7s. On a perfect, no break anything day. And I sure as heck couldn't drive it there. I'll take the road course from here on out. Most any road course.
This is why I raced drag bikes. Things rarely explode, and the most common maintenance is tires, clutch, and of course oil changes.

Damn how do you get the coupon code? Me and a buddy live in Fort Mill SC and we go to this track as well.

Re “don’t tell my wife” ... since that rarely ever works ... try, “Hey, cars are way cheaper than houses, and racing is way cheaper than remodeling.”
Of course, depending on circumstances, there could be consequences to defending yourself that way.

What is Tradds Photos? Shits getting more expensive down there and it looks like they increased the rate to 250 per day from what it was last year.

$250 per day? What with a different organization or are you talking about the Turn One Track Days?

Looks like a lot of fun. But if I had an expensive ZL1 like that I'd be afraid big time to race in the rain, ANY amount of rain. LOL.
I love the track in a downpour, its almost more fun. Even though I just leave the semi slicks on cuz im stoopid. 360's for days!
With enough track time it isn't that bad. You're always driving at the traction limit, so it's just lower in the wet. The track didn't have standing water on it.
Got any videos of you running down GT350R's? Im having a discussion on M6G about how the ZL1 is superior to the R. Even when the R has stickier michelin cup 2s. You already know this, but the stock tires on the ZL1 are equivalent to Pilot super sports.
Yes....yes I do.
Watch until the end with a GT350R on R888R tires and suspension mods on a tight 2.25 mile road course.
I'd greatly appreciate some subscribers if ya'll enjoy the content. Thanks.
