don't get too distressed
guys, i love reading your forum, and don't take this the wrong way, but i can't bite my tongue with some of the things being said.
firstly to the bit about going sideways at 150 being scary...
QR is an international standard track with excellent run-offs. to come to any grief in a road-regitsered car at turn 1 is laughable. secondly, and this adds to the humour, when you are going sideways you slow down very very quickly. anyone who has raced will know this. therefore, if you are sideways still on the track, you will have scrubbed off so much speed by the time you hit the run-off you could be mistaken for a dude on his way to lawn bowls.
and about the tyre discussion, you cannot possibly go past Yokohama A032R's. if they are too soft for everyday, buy a set of rims for track with them on. they alone will be worth 2 seconds a lap easily.
and don't tell me they are too expensive if you are even contemplating coil-overs. a serious racer would only need 195/14's which are relatively cheap. see not everyone needs bling bling. some people would prefer to be quick than race with 17inch chrome bits of cr*p with try hard semi-slicks.
sorry for my rant, just had to get it off my chest.
also, won't it be as busy as hell monday with this stupid powercruise thing? there will be more lowies than inala.
