We had a weird jump in temp for four days this week so I quickly looked for a track event to go to. Found one at Palmer, put on by Palmer on Friday and jumped on it. Was 78*F in the afternoon.
I didn't do too many Palmer clockwise events this year so I don't know it as well as the standard counter-clockwise. I also went with my 275/35/19 Nankang AR1's because I was just going to do some fun lapping. Surprisingly, I ended up besting my PB earlier this year by two seconds, and as you can see in the video I made a lot of mistakes and wasn't driving at my normal pace because the tires were an unknown to me.
The Garmin was giving me a 1:42 optimal as well so next year I have some cleaning up to do and get me a really fast lap! 1:42 would basically decimate all current lap records in the class my Supra would be in.
Anyway, had a really fun day, the weather was amazing, I got a new PB and there where cool cars there as well. Late October in the North East, great success.
