Got back from my first track event at Palmer Motorsports Park and I'm happy to report it was a great event! I had 2 hours of total track time and about 45 laps on the 2.3 mile course. The car was incredibly communicative, planted, consistent, and the brakes and tires never fell off! There were only ~6 cars in my run group and I was able to get the point-by from a newer Mustang 5.0 that was trailered, a new Camaro ZL1, and an E46 330ci. The cars that got by me were a Cayman GT4, F80 M3 and a GT-R.

I did wear the outer shoulder of the RE-71R's out a bit so I will mount them opposite on the wheels to get another day or two out of them, but I really need more front camber. Brakes were fantastic; I went with Winmax W5's and Castrol SRF React fluid and I could hammer on them consistently from 115 on the front straight to get the speed down into turn one. I'm interested to see how much more time I can pick up from driver mod before having to alter the car some more!
