Track: New Jersey Motorsports Park (Thunderbolt)
Car: Toyota GT86 (FRS)
Mods:K&N Drop, TRD exhaust, TRD Lowering springs, TRD short shifter, Stock Prius tires and wheels, W2 Winmax pads and G-4 335 brake and clutch fluid.

For some reason i just noticed this sticky topic. Anyway I actually have a video of my first time out in intermediate. I did terrible. Which is good, such a great learing experience. Second session I did much better but the last lap the Prius tires gave up. I was able to hold off an EVO that was behind me 2 full laps and a Shelby 3-4 seconds behind the EVO. . I thought I was holding them up but I just plain out turned them in the corners. The driver complained after but if he cant handle keeping up in the turns I'm not letting him pass. So I feel better now. Looking at the video above I was able to verify what happened. The guy got upset because a Scion beat his car in the corners and I out braked him too. The pads and fluid made late braking amazingly confident. I went off a few times by missing my braking points but after that It was all a learning experience in the second session. I need better tires. I am buying a house so I'm trying to work out the budget for tires. lol

Video of my first ever Intermediate session. Stock tires gotta go. I understeered and got 2 wheels off twice. In a year this will be a great comparison video of my improvement. I took this session slow since this was my third track run ever. Critique all you want it's a starting point..lol
