Went to my first track day with the scatty yesterday and it was a blast. It was a SCCA track night in america event and I got 3 20 minute run sessions not counting the first 20 min paced laps and another 20 min worth of parade laps where my buddy was able to ride with me.
I was pretty happy with how the car did the whole time, it was a beast out there and definitely one of the faster cars in the group hp wise. The only thing that left me wanting more were the brakes. They held up good when it came to fade and not boiling the fluid, but I got a lot of shudder out of them which was not very confidence inspiring. I even still have the shudder now during normal street driving, mainly around 35mph. And man were they squealing like crazy on the drive home. For only 6k miles on them I was not very impressed. That's where the dynamics package would have come in handy I imagine. I hope the shudder and noise go away, would be crazy if I needed to replace them after only one track day.
My best lap time was 1:42.5 which I was really happy with considering I was going easy on the brakes a bit and not driving into the corners as much as I probably could have. Being my first time out I mainly wanted to concentrate on being consistent and making sure my lines were good. Hitting 130mph on the main straight sure was fun.
I'm definitely hooked and plan to go back again. Meeting new people and just the overall experience of being there and driving was so much fun. I recorded my runs using the track addict app so once I get those offloaded I'll post up my fastest run for you guys to check out. In the meantime here's a few pics from the event.
