FoW Track Day Summit Point

No, what you saw in the picture is taped mesh to cover the lower front air intake to keep track rubber from bouncing in and hitting the radiator.

 

Ahmad,

Is this the GT3 you're talking about??

that looks like a guy that went to a PCA RTR summit event...Ya, 119 even after the repave is really, REALLY cooking it...Ide love to see a DAS verified time on that puppy...I should be down to 120-121 when I go in NOV if the track isnt too cold

 

I know it might have been going too fast to focus, but did anybody get a picture of the silver 360 with the blue taped front end?

 

Newmembersteve,

Is this the one you're talking about? If so, I'll check to see if I have more at home.

Great pics guys. Looks like a good turnout. I'm annoyed i couldn't make it


Next time!

 

Bill: yes it is. Thanks

 

How's the windshield/rock damage situation with the new track?

 

There was a fair amount of splatter from dirt that got on the track after people went wheels off, but I didn't hear of anyone complaining of serious damage.

 

I didn't have any front-end paint damage after one day of track fun.

The track was wet on Saturday morning. This resulted in quite a bit looser tire grip, especially coming out of turn 1.
Turn 9 had a pretty big patch of mud on the apex for most of the morning. This got my attention since it is one of the faster turns.

There were a few deer crossing the track on Saturday. I heard some of the Red Group cars had to dodge some of them.

The new pavement was smooth all the way around. However, it is a few inches higher than before so the curbs at the apexes are now half buried.

Thanks again to Redding and everyone at FOW for this great event. I thought the extra focus on safety worked well for all the drivers.

 

Thanks Redding for putting on a fun and safe event. Had a great time giving point by's to a lot of you guy's. I was driving a Brown 82 SC if anyone has a pic of that. Good food, good people and great track time. See ya next time.

Tim

 

Much appreciated.

 

I forgot to mention the food. On Saturday, they served Chicken Kabob with baked diced red potatoes which I thought was a great combination of tasty yet healthy food. And the caterers brought way more food than the relatively large group needed - plenty of left-overs after the lunch crowd thinned out (once again, another thing that shows that FOW wants everyone to have a good time and doesn't try to cut corners to save costs).

 

Thanks. I stopped going a few years ago because of all the rock damage my previous car was taking up there. I hope to go again soon. Was the BSR instructor's take of the course I posted last week on the mark or should it be amended?

 

Well, I don't know if it was rock damage, but I thought it was a little curious that this Lamborghini (that Bluedevil12 took a picture of on Saturday - 1st pic) ended up tapping the entire front hood on Sunday (2nd pic is mine).

Hmmm... That is a lot of tape, isn't it?!?

Plus I forgot to mention I have the clear bra stuff on my entire front end (and front-facing sides of my mirrors) of my black F430. So, the lack of damage could have been due to that.

 

I bet that is the car that Auggie gave our Marine friend a ride in!

 

Thanks for all the comments guys...

maranelloboy-- were you the guy with maybe your brother walking around afternoon on Saturday?

Here are a couple I snapped.
