Before this weekends track day did some upgrades to hopefully have things go better than last time.

I realized that I didn’t mention the fact that the new rotors are 2.5lbs lighter than the others.  So thats 5lbs less rotating and unsprung weight.  Who doesn’t like extra benefits like that!

Video coming soon but want to report had a successful event. Was able to complete all four 20 minute sessions with no issues. Dropped time every session.

 

After 1st session I adjusted tire pressures.
After 2nd session added some rear bar to get more rotation. Helped but still not as much as I wanted.
After 3rd session I added a bit more bar and dropped another 1/2 second but still not as much rotation as I want.

 

will continue to refine this. Larger tires in the rear helping a lot with turn speeds but that extra grip is taking it away some rotation. Lots of room left on the bar so ill find the sweat spot soon.

Very nice pieces to put on the Rex...jealousy on my side right now!

Thanks!  Gained a lot of confidence back in the car!

Some behind the wheel highlights and a recap of what I learned on the front brake temps.

Any track updates w the new brakes?

[CSPCRX]

Yes video posted above with some track video then a brake recap at the end.

Curious if anything new!  Sounds like nothing past the video….  That set up is well thought out.  I like it!!

Just some good data at the end of the video from the temp stickers and paint.  I need to pull the wheel again as I found another temp comparison chart for the paint.

Cool.  I'm about to pull the transmission and figure out what's up with the drivetrain.  I suspect bad clutch or flywheel or something inside the transmission.

 

Just ordered a header from Kirk Racing.
