Sometimes you just gotta lay the hammer down and keep the slower cars behind you, as pictured above.

Don't you remember how much faster your BRZ was with that diffuser?

Headed to Barber MSP on Friday. I'm so pumped to learn a brand new (to me) track.

Lucky you. I get to race LeMons and my SpecE30 there in February for the first time. I can't wait.

such a fun track!!! Scary when it's wet though... it's a very slick surface. Looks a lot bigger in pictures than it really is; I was surprised how quick the lap goes by.

In the rain I left TC on, and it helped in the 9/10 complex. Also if it's raining, make sure you aim for the timing tower coming out of 3 going up the hill at 4 and stay straight; there is a ton of room to the left, even though it doesn't look like it as you're climbing the hill. Turning right as you go over the hill will put you into the wall in the rain.

You can't see it in the video below, but throttle lift oversteer in the middle of turn 2 really helps rotate the car to set up for turn 3. For 7b/8, you pretty much run over the ENTIRE curb on the left; take that complex straight through. And for turn 11, it's a blind apex, but they usually have a little white stick/cone that you can see from far back; you'll turn in before you actually see the apex itself, so use that stick as reference.

Here's some video from back in Sept when I was there with Chin.

Lots of elevation changes. Looks fun.

Thanks for the tips. As of right now Saturday looks like it will be wet and Sunday will be cold and drying.

I'll definitely be keeping TC on (sport) if it's raining and I'll have an instructor riding along as well to help me stay safe.

My dad "owns" 3 pieces of expensive guard rail at Barber as a result of a brush against one in a club race.
I don't want to be forced to own any as well!

Yeah seriously; the guy that hit the right wall after 4 when I was there had his bill from them before he left the track.

I never really thought much of the TC, but I was being stupid and was trying to take the 9/10 complex way too fast, back end started coming around and I could feel the TC grabbing the brakes on opposite sides and the car literally straightened itself out without my help, it was incredible.

Got a pair of Weathertech floor liners as an early Christmas gift.





They do their job exceptionally well.

[ATL BRZ]

Got some new magnetic numbers to replace the vinyl ones I kept buying and having trouble removing.






Straight or slightly staggered like the emblem? Not sure which I prefer.

Staggered. Are you not worried about them sliding and scratching your paint at speed? I heard mag numbers were ok for autocross but could move around on high speed tracks. And everything you read on the internet is true so....

If they move around at speed I'll just put a little low adhesive tape on the leading edge. They're only 5 inch numbers and they aren't very thick so I don't think it'll be an issue. I also have a Wolf's Hard Body coating on the paint so it's already very scratch resistant.
