I did that a couple of yrs ago in the turbo on a advanced day, total blast.

I'm still a whimp. Left foot braking on tunnel turn & turn 3 before entry to set car slightly (yes- my ECU programed so I can do that). So I dont drive "Flat Out" lol . I haven't had a chance to check everything over on car. No significant tire wear at first glance. I run a couple of pounds higher in rear due to loads so I get slight overinflation wear in center. Safety first.

Brakes? We don't need no stinkin' brakes!

Was the whole event like that or one session? It looks like it could be fun, but I wouldn't want to do a whole day like that.

We only did 20 minutes on the Tri-oval.

Amen Dave!

I don't need brakes in someone else's car. lol

Must be two sets of rules. I was in the first run group that morning, and there was obviously no one on the track. I followed the four cars ahead of me and we took the exact same line that you did out into the bowl. Two laps later we all got blackflagged for not following the blend line, which you didn't either. You really missed an opportunity to hang in the pit and get yelled at.

I got in trouble. When I merge with traffic on the full course I will not go below the yellow line. I did not feel the apron was the safest entry. Always drive your own line. You followed me ?. The track was clear of any oncoming traffic and we entered the track smoothly. Thanks for pointing that out on my video. I really enjoy the full course. Great that this club ran it NASCAR direction for the first time in 15+ years.

I recognize one of my old cars in that video! Looks like fun. Wish I could have made it.

I wasn't trying to be critical. I was just pointing out where I got in trouble. I have to admit that as much fun as the full course was I could never imagine doing that for 250, 400, or 500 miles. I hope the Nascar cars have radios or something.

and 50mph faster, 3 wide. OMG. My front cup lip got ripped off the first time I went down on the apron to blend onto track. All the klug & debris gets down there and get's picked up & can damage tires. That is why I had a mental problem going down there. Very difficult to see any traffic when you are 90 feet from track out point. I complied all day except for full tri 0val. They initially probably didn't see me do it but saw the cars that followed me. They came to find me later. It had repercussions all day.
