Big Willow Track Day

RWolf10 · 12-19-2011, 06:20 PM

A couple of us attended the recent track day at Willow Springs International. Here's my ride at the Start/Finish.

Shout outs to my sponsors, aFe Power for all their great intake and exhaust products, Yokohama for their amazing Advan Neova AD08s, StarShield Armor for their crystal clear paint protection film, and SleK for the extra downforce their quality carbon fiber front splitter provided.

Mod List Attached.

What times did you get? Also, more shots of your car!!!

My friend James, matte gray M3, said he saw your car there on Saturday!

So how'd you do? Laptimes?

I met James. really cool guy with a mean car! we chatted about an APR splitter I'll need to get because my custom ones didn't cut it....i'll post up a great picture i took of his car later.

for my first time on a track, my instructor said i did damn well! i have silky smooth turns and throttle control. apparently its really hard to teach a student to not go balls to the wall on their first go.

average lap times were 1.49 with a best lap time of 1.47 and a top speed of about 135-140mph...couldn't tell exact needle point cuz i was focusing more on the fast approaching turn...

That's good. I'm sure you'll get addicted soon. Over here in Boston we have to wait until winter is gone.

how'd the ccw's hold up on the track?

Think they are more form over function or did they give you a good amount of control?

I'm contemplating either Apex ARC-8s for function...or some VMR's for a more form setup

Elsabor67 · 12-20-2011, 04:13 AM

Do you have more pics of your car? That is very clean and looks ver good.

Any on track vids?

CCW's did amazing on the track. i would have expected nothing less since they were designed for track purposed driving. nowadays, it seems like we need to be more worried about how wheels hold up on shity freeways than on silky smooth track roads.
