I agree it's a great track for novices. But as I saw today, if youre trying hard enough you'll find something to hit... A 997 managed to lose its front bumper and deploy airbags in the first session of the day.

They only come in +25 and +45 offset.

So the +45 offset would prob work but now you add in the adapters which will add another 15-20mm of offset (remember you'll have this problem in the front also).
Just find a wheel that comes in proper fitment, I think that's the ugliest Volk wheel anyway.

Yeah, might just go with gramlight 57 extremes or wedsports.

actually I wasn't there but I heard it was coming out of turns 12-13. Applied too much power coming out of there onto the back straight and looped it. It was really slippery and wet out there, even in my modestly powered BRZ I was getting some wheelspin mid-corner.

Thursday looks like no rain. If so, anyone care for a drive? I'd like to break 100 miles on the odo going thru Redwood Rd, Mines Rd, Calaveras, or the likes. Can meet at Hacienda Starbucks (580 Dublin) or Castro Valley before driving. Skyline Blvd to Oakland is a nice, docile drive. Bring ur photo equipment. If u've never been to the 'wall' on Skyline, u could see the entire bay.

Nice. Glad u know the roads.
The 'wall' is just a stopping/lookout point and on a clear day, SF and the entire bay is gorgeous. Haven't made a time yet since I either drops the kids in Castro Valley or take them with me. They would love the drive too. What time is ur lunch about? |

Do you mean the "WALL" @ Grizzly Peak? Thats the only wall I know of in that area and it is an awsome view popular biker spot. |

just a reminder we have the meet on Weds the 26th @ Union City. But I would be down for a small group drive on Thurs as well.
I've driven Redwood Rd/Skyline/Grizzly Peak many times but never been able to figure out what/where exactly is the Wall... my guess is there isn't much space there for many cars to park? Just a small turnout where bikers like to stop.

Yes, Grizzly Peak. Not a parking lot for a lot of cars but a couple fit. My idea is just to drive and learn the car.
