Had a blast yesterday.

Here are a couple pics my friend took of my in the first couple sessions. Beautiful day, 75 deg F and clear skies all day.

Lucky bastard! Looks like it was a blast, I'd love to get out on that track someday.

Looks like a fun track day, not too much traffic out there? It was like 15 here this morning, I want it to be track season, damnit!

Love the white/green look! I've always wanted to drive that track!

I love laguna, turn 9 after the corkscrew is a doosy! Any other mods besides wheels?

Dang that red lotus breezed through the track like nothing...

Jealous. Makes me wish I lived in the Bay Area again. Never been on that track, but looks so fast and challenging.

My Mom lives in Carmel. That track is nice... they have bicycle races on that course too. lol

Jealous... super jealous. I drive Laguna all the time on simulators but I've never been there IRL yet. Nice wheels, btw. What wheel/tire size combo are you using?

 

[joshesh]

Wheels are Sparco Assetto 16x7
Tires are 225/45/16 Dunlop ZII's

I took some data logs and watched the Cobb AP throughout the sessions, found intake charge temps hover around 110-115 deg F with a max of 120, oil temps hover around 225-235 and maxed out at 240 deg F. I did get some negative ignition correction values, so I added in some 100 oct and it went away for the most part. I will post some logs later if people are interested.

Looks like you were using the line really well there, been there before I take it

I have only done sims and watched races on that track, can't wait to drive it!

How did the 225 tires feel on the 7" rims? I am looking for 16x8's or even 8.5 as think I could get them under the car with rolled fenders, right offset, etc....

Thanks for posting, my favorite track of all time!

I have been to this track many times now in the past 7 years of racing... probably 12 times now. The 225's felt great on the car, if I were you though going to a 8" or 8.5" wide rim will greatly increase the effectiveness of the 225 width tires. I am stuck at 7" wide for SCCA street classing, but if I were going for straight performance a 8" wide would be the wheel I would buy.

Definitely jealous. And one thing I've come to love about my FiST is it reminds me of riding a 250cc motorcycle. Not the fastest thing out there, but you can flog it to the limits and have a blast. Maybe one day I'll get to take mine on VIR, since that's just a couple hours from me.
