@DCV the trunk floor mat is good if they begin to ooze

always been a car and motorcycle guy but my son was the one that got me into auto-x and track days. I found Spring Mountain to be be a reasonable value for the time and money I put into it but wouldn't call it a must do. I've had some really good expperiences at HPDE events with the coach in...

Spotted new a White CT4-V Blackwing in traffic on 101 in San Jose today. Exchanged waves (hopefully he saw mine).

Forget PTM, drop down to Drive Mode for Snow/Ice. We had torrential rain during my Spring Mountain experience and it worked great to keep the car going straight

Meatball is a reference to one of the parts of the optical landing system that they use on ships, kinda like the red and green threshold lights on a real runway

i thought it was about 1500 of each 4 and 5 per year. Not sure why this would be important to me

guy was out there when I was doing day 2 in the rain, he was all hunkered down in his foul weather gear and shooting shot after shot and laughing at the faces we made at him when going by

I like my car, but agree on the engine. It's not necessarily underwhelming, but I expected more. I came from a slower car, but i'm never blown away. I'm waiting for my next track day to do some experimentation with different modes. Oh, and i've got an automatic, so that's part of the issue...

I was there in April of this year, rained like a son of a gun on day 2

Nice run!

There are a lot of YouTube videos of people at Spring Mountain, you can check some of those too. When you're in the car and following an instructor, they're talking to you and giving you guidance. Listen and follow and watch tail lights, etc. You'll be great.

thanks. I'll double check next drive. really annoying coming up to someone in the braking zone and the car freaks out

Something I hadn't thought about last time I was at the track. What settings do you disable for HPDE days on track with ptr set to either sport or track 1, Is there a config that will disable the lane keeping and collision avoidance, or do you disable those yourselves before the track day?

Might be just an issue of having a lot of work and insufficient staff. I don't know about Southern California, but up in Central California there is a definite shortage of auto techs. Combine that with difficulty in moving from brand to brand due to having to learn all of the ins and outs of...

Apparently that depends on Cadillac. From what I heard there, Cadillac owns the cars, which is why there aren't a ton like the Corvette school

Not a problem, the implication of my statement is that these will sell well. My presumption is that anything sold as "track focused" will be bought by the back road hooligan crowd whether they need it or not

I can see these being bought just because "If it's better for the track, i can scream on the twisties" and 90% of them never being tracked

Ah hah! I've experienced that, thought I was nuts.

I did all the crazy high speed stuff back in my early 20s. I've got the damaged back and neck to prove it. That's why I have to ride such an upright bike like my Tiger 800

Scouts are fun bikes. I've got a Tiger 800 from 2012. Great bike til I bounced off a toyota corolla because I "came out of nowhere". Helps to avoid motorcycles if you watch what is coming up before you pull into the road
