Summer track days sign up for PIR & ORP for beginners and up

You might want to ask PRE if they can give you another map with slightly more advanced timing to capitalize on the higher octane. BRZ EDIT does map switching right? If not 94-95 octane is still ok to run and should prevent your ECU from pulling timing.

I may pick up more race gas then. Yea I'm gonna have a chat with PRE tomorrow. My car should sound "interesting" with the muffler on the dump tube, and a resonated front pipe. So excited to finally see her, been at the shop for too long..

Which pit will be in use Sunday? I like the South Paddock for this type of event. Closer to AROO staff office, our cars, tools and equipment, friends, viewing area, plus other interesting cars and owners.

And both Kevin and I got ours at NW Solvents in Portland. Be prepared, it's almost $20 a gallon.
Is this in N. Portland? Googled it, but it was in Eugene.

635 N Columbia Blvd, Portland, OR 97217? They don't have a website or nothin.

Yeah, sounds right. Give them a call at 503-286-9019 before heading over just to make sure they have it.

@BRZPDX - It's a one lady show at this location and she does the deliveries as well. You NEED to set up a time with her to pick it up. I had her put my name on one and she had one more left as of yesterday.

So raised the car up a bit tonight and pulled out the front pads to inspect. Down to about 1/8" of pad left. Undecided if I'll run them for the 2 15 minute sessions and then switch to the stock pads or if I'll go the other way. I also played with the rebound and compression and took it around the block. Feels a bit better on the street, can't wait to see what the difference is on the track.

@digital_assassin can I still buy that 2.5 gal of race fuel from you? I don't think I'll need the full 5gals. So when we run low on fuel, just get arco gas and not mix the race fuel any more? I'm thinking for the morning runs just use 93O, and for the later runs mix the race fuel? How did you guys do it last time?

Doug and I ran it all day. I think your method will be good since it's your first time out and you'll be getting used to the track the first few sessions. Do you have a gas can?
