[QUOTE="MGC, post: 10755561, member: 90908"] All good advice in here. It's great to see more Terminator guys go out to open track events, it's to hard capture in words how fun it is, but everyone should try it at least once. :beer: I don't have a whole lot of advice other than what's already been said, but as your experience increases so will the ability to handle your car when it's sideways, and use that to your advantage, stay on street tires until you get more experienced, even though it is frustrating. You need to learn how to get the most traction out of the tires you have on there now, otherwise if you go to a say R compound tire too soon you all of a sudden have an abundance of grip and don't know where your traction limit begins and ends. By the time you figure it out, it's not forgiving. As long as you have fun, and don't break anything I'd say that's a good day. Make it a habit to TQ your lugnuts, and check brake lines and all fluids before and after each session. Pay attention to the car, if it overheats or something doesn't feel right (you know how your car should act), go into the pits and check it out, you're not racing and don't need to push the car past it's limits.
