Race Tracking Your Supra - Information exchange

[FLtrackdays]

I naturally stay to myself, mostly because I don't want to bother people while they are doing their thing. Probably because I get nervous while competing and kinda get into "the zone" where I'm focused on how I can improve for the next outing. I guess I figure "what if everyone is doing the same?". After my sessions are over, I'm a completely different person. During the actual competition is the only time I'm ever serious. LOL. I can't help it.. I'm a competitive person.

Helps I’m just driving for fun, beat my own time, testing parts, etc. Like this forum, I talk to everybody ? I love cars and I assume everyone else there does too. You can tell if someone is hyper focused. So I’ll just say nice car, hi, or keep it simple. My wife usually has to remind me (or I set my watch) when my next session is because I’m out talking to everyone. Like a kid in a candy store. Granted, I’ve been doing this a long time so I’m over the initial butterflies. Bottom line, we’re all there to have fun. Glad you are doing your thang, enjoying her & staying on top of the leaderboards ?

I am naturally pretty shy, and I've been trying to come out of my shell more and more. It helps being surrounded by like minded people who all love cars and driving fast, but man it was intimidating at first. I now try to talk to several people at each track event, and I get great advice. Pretty much everyone likes talking about their cars, but of course there are some bad apples like anywhere. I can say that 9/10 of my interactions have been positive.

I think 99% of the peeps at the track events are like us & just having fun. Maybe it’s the sun and heat wearing the @ssholes down… Even the most introverted peeps become more friendly when you fly by them on track ?. Wish I could get you down here Wes. I think you’d love the friendly atmosphere!

That is awesome but looks like you still have to apply to be a dealer through turn14. So looks like I will be on the phone with my T14 rep to see what it takes! Cant wait to start getting a discount on tires.

Did you ever measure the AR-1? They seem to run a bit narrow compared to the ECF.

Also RE: CRS v2 specs -- ostensibly a typo but they show the section width is narrower than the tread width for all of the 325s.

Yes AR-1 run narrow.

275/35/19 AR1 = 273mm (unmounted)

Ahh... Then they don't have the man-sized 19s listed yet which is what threw me off. Looks like they may be available October'ish based on Phil's latest update.

Where? I need 305 and 325 19s.

Never mind those were AR1s. CR-S only has the 305s in stock right now. You wont be able to order through this company though. Authorized dealers only.
