Hey guys, I was at Mid-Ohio April 8-9 with the N. Ohio BMWCCA. The surface was finished being repaved just the week before we got there! The track is a lot of fun and I just wanted to share some of the videos with you all. I've got a couple laps behind TC Kline (owns BMW racing teams), driving the Civic Si with a new suspension in it that they're tuning and will be marketing. Another vid is of one of my fastest laps (1:47.94) and another of some sliding and drifting around
The vids can be found here:

I love the first slide you do in the second video. The passenger says: "nice recovery but im not getting paid for this, back it off" haha. looks like a great day

 

Yeah, that was my instructor. We were having a difficult time connecting until after that session. We talked about some stuff and I told him what I was trying to learn, that if I'm not pushing it I don't feel like I'm learning, and that I'm trying to prepare for racing next year. We were cool after that and he catered his instructing to me better. It was a fun weekend

 

How do you like those tires? Did you have them shaved? How are they lasting? Any and all comments would be appreciated. I am trying to decide between them and another set of RA1S.

 

They're good, but I got them because they were crazy cheap on Tire Rack. I run them on the street, too. I think an RA1 probably has a bit more grip, but the SP SS Race is a good all around tire that has good rain grooving.

I did not have them shaved. I did 2 days at BeaveRun and 2 days at Watkins Glen on them before flipping them. Now these 2 days at Mid-Ohio. I'm killing the outsides while the centers still have 75% tread! I'm on stock suspension, though, so I'm limited to the camber I've been able to get out of it as it is. I'm about to make some upgrade to the suspension, though. At least sway bars.

 

wow you did a good job at the track! the second video of you sliding was hella nice. it wouldve been hella sick if you have videos of your car doing all that from the outside. well those were hella good videos!! keep up the good work

 

Nice vids. The definitely sound at their limit.
