AAA Speedway Trackday
Well decided to do some break-in work on my new motor. Took a trackday at AAA Speedway, and drove pretty easy, since I don't feel like pulling the motor again.
The car feels fantastic at speed, but was having a hard time keeping up with everything that has 400+ hp. There were quite a few hairy situations where I almost had an accident with a 70+k car, but other than that it was a pretty fun day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXQLRs1k3mA

I thought you were supposed to use the left arm to signal drivers?
What was your top speed on the "straight?" Total time of your best lap? Car sounds nice, man. |

Window net prevents me from sticking my arm out the window, so I was signaling the only way I could.
Top speed was limited by the top speed limiter so I was lifting somewhere around 110-112 mph- 6800 RPM in 4th, I'm thinking I could get close to 120 if I disconnected the speedo, but I don't know for sure. Hitting the speed limiter is like hitting the brakes so I was doing my best to not hit that thing. This is a new motor so I'm still a little worried about reliability. As for lap times, I think I did a 2:07, but I wasn't really pushing the car all that hard due to some incidents that happened in the first session. I'm guessing if I drove it to my limit with the speedo unplugged there would be a 2:3-4 out there but I can't say for sure. Thanks, its a little quiet right now, but I'm happy with the sound.

I know that speed limiter feeling all to well. Happened to me at about 120 in my CRX on that same stretch. It feels so weird.
Wise choice, being a bit more cautious with the new engine. |
