Thanks for the track day all, it was awesome driving with zero traffic and minimal downtime. Please let us know when the next one is as I'm not sure we can go back to regular trackdays anymore...

Sounds like the track day was a blast.

spm puts on the best track days + track support + towing to/from.

Thanks Mooty for setting up the event! Came all the way from SoCal and it was well worth it. I tried to break the sub 2:00 but couldn't do it... had plenty of open track to try but need better driver! I'll have to go back up at some point to try again. I think I can carry more speed going through the bypass but couldn't build enough confidence there, corner is totally blind going over the crest... and let's not talk about the harsh bump right on the other side! Tried taking T9 in 2nd and 3rd, still not sure which one is best, I felt torque was not enough in 3rd but things get busy there to go 4-2 in the braking zone before T9. Also felt like I was always overbraking going in T10, the slight banking there let's you carry quite some speed.

Everybody I talked to was super nice, really good group of people to run with. Looking forward to make it to another day like this!

Here's a fun lap on my scrubs chasing my friend in his blue M3

T9 is a 3rd gear turn- just slight tap brake early apex(need some *****- u flair to outer edge of berm on rt side exit. Only area if u not up to speed into 2nd gear is t10 and t14. T5 bypass is fun- stay far left slight lift at crest then wot thereafter making sure u nail direction of car on rt side berm- its wot from crest to entry into t6 if u nail that right side berm at exit of t5 down the hill. mike

Now if u trying to pass at exit of t5 bypass stay 3/4 left that flair u out left for pass towards entry toward t6. Mike

Thanks for inputs T5 Bypass with no brakes sounds crazy to me. It felt like I could carry more speed but it's tough to point the car right as we don't see anything there. I can see myself flying off the track easily if not pointed right, plus the car takes some time to settle on the other side with the road imperfections.

Any video out there of GT3 with data overlay that I can see how it's done?

Thanks!

Follow mooty...Scary **** i tell you..

I followed him into T5. I usually tap brakes to settle speed at 65 or 75mph - don't recall- anyways ... Mooty does NOT tap brakes- he just went and I was like OKAY i'll follow.. #$#$@#$@#$ fk me sideways. I ****ted my pants. Never follow mooty there again.

Exactly what scared me there. You have to go over the crest knowing you're pointing correctly... if you're not, by the time you realize on the other side it's too late to make corrections and, well, you go sideways trying to make it!!! I need to find a fixed reference point of some sort next time I'm out there. Kind of similar to T9 where you can use the water tower as a guide for the line.

^its a safe spot though if u don't point it correctly. Just go straight into grass. No harm other than an oopsy. The part is when u lift at crest is when your car feels floaty but as soon as u apply gas very planted and car is easy to rotate once you're on the gas and keep it on gas and turn. If u lift- u spin for sure. Not much of any of a reference point on t5 bypass but as long as u are 3/4 to left or full left you make turn. If u go in say middle u have to feather throttle thru the turn instead of going wot. Mike

Makes sense and you're right, it looks pretty safe there. I probably got too intimidated by the tire marks on the grass. Can't wait to go back up there and try it. I think if I can master going there wot, that alone will get me sub 2:00
