Barber weekend
3 Attachment(s)
OK, here's a video link. This was from my first day on the track. It's a pretty complicated track with a lot of subtleties that I haven't figured out yet. Lots of shifting - you have to be able to heel and toe at this place! What a fun track.
Saturday was really hot - 96 degrees and Alabama humid. Sunday was a little better, at least there was some occasional cloud cover. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rjo7VxjjeM |
Hey Jon, I'm just a lurker here... If you are planning to attend any future DEs at Barber, feel free to look me up. I'd love to help you drop some time at Barber. Hope you guys enjoyed yourselves.

I will be at Grattan September 10-11 with the West Michigan Porsche club. If anyone wants to go Grattan is a great track and I can be your host.

I'm sure you PBIR (moroso) guys have seen this one putting in some really fast laps.

I go out to PBIR quite a bit and haven't seen it yet? Looking forward to it though, this weekend PBOC and next weekend H.O.D. maybe then..

I just sold my 996tt track car. I am going to miss it. I am going to be posting in the classified section my safety and speed bolt ons that I removed. GT3 seats, bk harnesss bar, kwv3, etc.

Pics of the ride, please! |
guys I need some advice.. is a rwd 996tt a good car to start tracking? I really want to get into the sport but I am kind of affraid of starting with this car :(
|
Does it have an LSD? How much HP? Suspension?
|
I am not sure if it has an LSD as it was RWD when I got it, I have to check but I might turn it back to awd. I am putting down high 5xxrwhp.. as for suspension JIC Cross competition 15 way adjustable.
I signed for my first track day on the 22nd at NJMP thunderbolt, hopefully I don't end up against a wall haha |
Cool Carbon Brake Pads
I just wanted to post an update on Cool Carbon Brake Pads for track use. I used these pads at a track in Wilcox, AZ. Not a hard braking layout. Some may have better results but my results were not good. After a cool down lap I still had smoking front brake pads. I do drive the car very close to it's limits. Just my two cents. :(

Tim Tim, I was one the first user to use CoolCarbons and report back. Cool Carbons are great for street and semi track. I also drive harder than norm. Two things come to mind. 1. Are you using something other than stock brake pads 2. for 10/10s these pads are not the best-- but you need to give them a few cool down laps. |
this is pretty complicated track.. cornering are difficult.. nice job.
