Local PCA had a Time Trail at Spring Mountain Race Club in Pharump (near Las Vegas).

2 days of racing and almost no one on the course... so we had more track time and miles than we wanted.

Each lap was 3.3 miles and about 19 turns.

Enjoy... I know I did









Here is my friend in his EVO X.... you can drift AWD cars... he does it all the time!

 

stock brakes? how do they hold up

 

They hold up amazing! One of the best parts of the car.

I have done probably 10-12 track days and I have 50% still left on my stock pads!

 

Nice pics Mobinic. It is interesting that the Evo is permitted to drift, the Seattle PCA chapter has a rule that any 45 degree "spin" is a talking, two in a day and it is day over.

 

I'm surprised as well that they allowed you to drift. I've been to five track weekends at Sprint Mtn with Las Vegas PCA and they will kick you off the track if you drift.

Great to hear that you had fun. I always have a fun running this track.

 

He was not drifting on purpose. That was towards the end of the day and his tires were toast. Drifting to save the turn is another thing. That's called recovering!

 

Great pics - thanks for sharing!

 

Northvan..

It was not purposely drifting, but a result of the last turn.

Spring Mountain is very technical track and has high speed and low speed turns.

Its a drifting style course (not on purpose but because its very easy to overdrive the low speed turns.

Basically you are hearing tires squeal most of the time for the first half of the day
