WTH did everyone go on Saturday? I was there Sunday and only one FD was there and the 2 Mazda Trix cars. I was disappointed... Still a fun event, but I do think they would get more attendance with lower prices and a better ran event. I still had a blast and cannot wait for the event at Willow Springs July 3-4. Hope to see more 7's this time around.

 

Being stuck at tech for what felt like all day isnt very fun. I think I got maybe 30-40 mins worth of track time the whole day. I didnt take my camera on Sunday either and if I did, the footage would have been of the inside of the tech garage. You're welcome to ride with me at Mazfest if were in different run groups. Those sticker transponders suck. There were many people with timing issues.

Too bad I was on empty a few laps into the last session with Fisa. Sorry! Next time I'll fill up again To give you guys an idea of how little track time I put in on Sunday: I usually have to fill up once or twice per track day and on Sunday I had half a tank of gas left at the end of the day I filled my tank by my house and only used half a tank the whole day.

Sunday was hotter than Saturday but the day got cooler towards the end of the day when we got a bit of wind. By the last session of the day, the weather was great! I should have put in a good time but running into those two cars slowed me down too much.

I was the only FD on Sunday. Everyone else ran on Saturday's event. You should see most of us at Mazfest if you make it out

 

I got a few pics of your FD. Shoot me an e-mail address and I'll send them to you if you'd like. Think I said "nice FD" to you at the end of the day. I was the fat *** Puerto Rican guy.

 

Dang FDSeoul, no love for my C6 huh...guess I gotta put it up meself.

 

Haha, Juan rocking the nissan sticker

 

^^^ hahaha i just noticed that too

definately see you all again at mazfest! hopefully it isnt as hot

yea im thinking its an airflor issue too, do you still have your a/c condenser?

 

Yea hehehe but the best part was that no one chose number 7 for their car so I got lucky with that number I should have trimmed that banner down like 2 inches from the bottom. Im too tall and it would block most of my view in the nascar turn. One time I just followed the car in front of me at 120ish mph and used that car as a guide throughout the turn! It was pretty crazy not being able to see anything but the car in front of me and the ground blurring by.

Fun times

Im very happy with the way my car ran all weekend. My temps were always around 215-220F for water and about 220-230F for oil. My oil temps rose to 240 once when I was pushing harder but a bit of short shifting quickly brought them back down. I've got a nicely ducted aluminum "racing radiator" from Radiator World and two ducted oem oil coolers. Next time I'll have a bigger Setrab passenger oil cooler which will keep my oil temps in check. I've been thinking of trying out a Koyo N-flow radiator. Any of you have experience with these? I wonder if I'll see a big improvement over my cheap racing radiator. I havent bit the bullet and bought one because my radiator has been working great.

 

^ nice, still got your a/c? and did you needed to turn your heater on? im running a pretty beefy godspeed radiator. i should really get an oil temp gauge now

 

No a/c for now. I'm running without the condenser so the radiator sees clean air. I never turned on my heater the whole weekend. Do you still have your under tray? Try to seal the radiator so all the air is forced through it. This alone worked wonders for me.

Here's some pictures courtesy of Hyper4mance2k. They were taken at the end of the day right before I headed home.



Here you can see how dirty my car got after two track days.

 

I'll see you guy's at Mazfest!!

 

Here's my vid of me trying to drive:

I have no AC condenser. I am running a Fluidyne race radiator and the stock undertray, stock radiator shroud and clutch fan.

Also I have sealed the radiator and the oil cooler to the undertray with foam tubing, I also sealed the core support to the radiator. I noticed an immidiate drop in oil temps on the street when I did this, and oil temp dropped about 10 degrees on the track. I did all of this when I changed the radiator, so I dont know how much it helped the water temps.

The air flow issue is after air exits the radiator, it has to go around the engine. To fix that you would want to run electric fans, a vented hood, and shrouding that directed air out of the radiator and up to the hood.

 

very nice Dino. interesting choice of music for a car vid. Would have rather heard the roar of the LS3 tho

 

I totally didn't realize that was you Fris. I keeping thinking you have the red Turbo FC. Wish you would have brought it out so I can get a ride

 

Wan, your car looks all "raced out" with those stickers. Are you leaving them on?

 

Thanks yo! The song, My Favorite Game by the Cardigans was used in the 2nd Gran Turismo game intro. There was no roar recorded from the cam. Instead, there was nothing but high wind whistling lol!!!

 

Nope! Im taking them off in the morning to give the car a real good wash.

That video sounds like a commercial for pantyhose or conditioner

 

My FC is down for a makeover right now. It will be back out on the track for Mazfest

 

Put a nice helping of wax on you hood and front bumper for the next event.

 

I'm sorry that it's not Tres Animales or Los Bukis

 

Tres Animales? Never heard of them but the name sounds pretty cool

 

LOL!! Tres Animales is by Los Tucanes de Tijuana!!! You should know ey...go back to your roots. That's right, i'm stereo typing ahhahaa.

 

Has anyone heard from Redline about your $25 refund or received any money back? I havent heard anything about it or received anything yet. Webrides on the other hand, sent out the checks right away for those who got a sponsorship from them (I got mine a few days ago).

 

LOL nope nope nope nope and nope please let me know
