FRS @ willow springs (1.8 mile race track with 12 corners)

the 'streets of willow' is the perfect place to run the FRS

link to my youtube vid-
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jVrN67tqOg&feature=g-upl"]FRS track day @ willow springs - YouTube[/ame]

I ran the track last sunday
my best time was 1.39 (1st time on the track)
it was a blazing hot 103 degrees that day making it very difficult to
grab traction

frs performance that day-
flawless, no issues, no overheat, & I ran the ish out of the FRS!
stock tires held up great
brakes performed perfect

Yeah I did big willow like a week after I had my FRS great experience! I'm looking forward to Streets a lot! Lots of high hp cars are signed up for the event too, so that should be interesting.

Nice video by the way, I've been watching it every chance I get while at work. This is the first video ive seen of it counter clockwise. The group I'm going with is doing it clockwise so I've been checking out videos to get familiar with it all.

I'd go, but I doubt I could get a seat ordered and bolted to the floor fast enough. No way I'm fitting in my car with a helmet on, currently. :P
