Canaan Motor Club (CCW) - aniltip - 2020 M2C
Just trying to get better so any tips / criticisms are more than welcome! First track day at Canaan Motor Club last month. Ran a 1:07.62 going CCW on the stock MPSS with Vorshlag camber plates (-3 F / -2 R). Certainly a lot of time left out there, but had a great first time on track! 1st lap was the warm up - 2nd was the time attack lap. Did have some issues with the stock brakes when coming back on track after a session with the pedal going soft / dropping to the floor on the first couple of corners on the out lap, which definitely makes me second guess myself in some of the harder braking zones. Already flushed the brakes with a liter of Motul 660 and am running Carbotech XP10s. Going to bleed with 2 liters of SRF and hopefully see if I have more consistent feel. |

The M2 is currently unhappy with me, so I took the track car my brother and I have been building to Road America last week. It's a 1996 C4 Corvette with a bunch of fun aero, some home-built, some custom carbon. It's got a mild build LS3 and a tremec T-56 Magnum transmission. Add in some Penske coilovers, decent brakes, full heim joint suspension and you're left with a 500+ HP, 3000# "street" car. This was run on 275 wide Nankangs on 17"x11 wheels.
Not shown - boiling the brakes right before the kink on the next lap. The last lap is the fastest in this video, with the last lap at a 2:27.14. I got stuck behind a radical for the first few corners and it caused the lap to be 3.5 seconds off pace to start vs. my other fastest lap of the day. If I combine all laps, the theoretical best was a 2:22.5. Not bad for a car with a home made plywood splitter and an old truck motor with 175,000 miles on it.

Last weekend I visited Harris Hill Raceway thanks to a friend's invitation. Despite living in the area since before it's inception, I'd never turned a wheel [of any kind] on the track itself and was a bit surprised by it.
I went with 3 goals in mind
I ran 6 short sessions throughout the morning
This resulted in some learnings.
PR set 1:26.02 I set my PR on the second to last lap of the last session. This was early afternoon and temps were high. Traction control was disabled and I'd grown pretty comfortable but was still giving myself a bit of a safety net. Time to learn a lesson Immediately following that PR, I sent it off, losing the rear coming out of T6 at about 100mph. This is likely due to a combination of factors: an early lift/not enough throttle, high lateral load, and some lovely bumps. I was told that this was likely salvageable if I'd had a faster and more intentional counter steer coupled with getting on the throttle. Let's hope this is put into my brain so that it may save me later. Thankfully no injuries, no damage, so all good. |

This track sits in some of the worst ground imaginable to build a race track and be able to keep the asphalt smooth. They repaved it a couple of years ago thankfully - but is is already having some issues like you saw. Before the repave it had gotten to the point where it was undriveable in my opinion. You were time limited by bumps - not the speed of the car. The repave made a big difference but unfortunately some bad bumps are already coming back. T6 like you found out is awful - definitely one I will not push hard through. Not as bad as it was before but already at the point where I am limiting speed through sections to control the speed. Good run though! |

First, you're cautious, then you're confident, lastly you crash. After the 3rd, you start over. |

Just an off bud - albeit a bit of a high speed one - but no harm, no foul. Remember what you did/didn't do, change that for next time, and get at it again. Keep tearing it up out there you have good, smooth speed |

This thread needs some fresh content. First up is me carrying way too much speed into a carousel turn at The Ridge Motorsport Park last Thursday. Not proud of my back to back overcorrections, but happy to have kept it on the asphalt and pointing mostly in the right direction. Garmin dust off the data as this was a partial lap, but I went in at least 10mph too fast.
And my redemption. Got my fastest lap in the last session of the day, which also happened to be the session after the above occurred. Pretty happy with a 2:00.77 here on 6 day old 245/265 r18 Hankook RS4 in 80* temps. |

P.S. Did you move? I thought you lived in Livonia. I would like to share a new PB of my own from this past weekend. 1:26.6 at Grattan Raceway in MI.

Had the opportunity to get to Area 27 Motorsports Park in Oliver, BC this week for two days. What a fun track! Highly recommend if you get the opportunity. Here’s my quickest lap of the event. Pretty happy with the pace on a new, technical track.

Don't you hate this? A "faster" car with a slower driver will refuse to let you by, or give you a point-by, and then floor it.

To be fair, I wouldn't say in either video you were particularly in a position to pass until you did. At no point we're you really sitting on their bumper for any length of time.

P.S. you did notice that the C8 gave me a point by 40s into the video, and then drag races me till the end of the straight, right?

If open passing, as appeared on the Ring. Then I'd argue onus is on passing car to find and make the pass when safe. As the Senna did by passing you both. Maybe his rationale or thought process was "he only caught me because I hit traffic. Maybe he's happy to chase…" Who knows?

This was a bit scary! I was apparently at the limit of the tires when I began to accelerate. After I caught it, I got back on the gas too quickly and it stepped out again. Tires were takeoff Perellis and were to the cords at the end of this day.
