Homestead Pics Feb 26 and 27

A few pics from Homestead way down south of Miami from last weekend. The infield track runs part of the oval and is about 2.2 miles. I found it to be quite technical and a lot of fun to train on…….

Sebring is next up (March 26, 27), The Glen for 4 days in May, then Road Atlanta and VIR. Chin Racing and FCA provide access to these tracks, as well as instructors and training - all excellent.

It was warm at Homestead and got a bit of brake fade again. Running with TC off reduces it greatly but doesn’t eliminate it. Hopefully the Surface Transforms rotors will do the trick. We shall see…….

Homestead is great. Agree tracking is rough on a car…..I got four track days out of a set of rear Pagid RSC1s, that’s it. Finally I’m improving to the point I can run with TC off, which is a big saver of the rear brakes. Car is unquestionably more lively at throttle up.

If I can manage to keep it to tires and pads, I’ll consider it a victory. Last weekend a guy hit the (soft) wall on the entrance to main track after Turn 12 with his yellow 355…..just paint, but still……

With all the constant fluid changes and minor adjustments, the good news is mine is now one of the best maintained 459s on this forum, lol….

Sebring 26th and 27th, and Watkins is coming up in May.
