Please, please, please read the rules at the link that Construct sent...will save you pain, suffering, and money. As for camber, camber plates are NOT allowed in street class unless the car comes with them from the factory. There is an allowance for "Crash fix" parts (eccentric crash bolts...

Alrighty...I'll post up some laps from my slow self here for ridicule. All laps listed are the same mod config at the bottom. Enjoy. 1) Carolina Motorsports Park 2) 1:48.006 3) 10/6/2024 1) Gateway Motorsports Park Road course (old config) 2) 1:15.62 3) 5/6/2025 1) Hedge Hollow 2) 2:38.09...

Screw it. I'm keeping the Supra. That is all.

DM'd :-D

I have a pretty weird use case, and I've been through 3 sets in the last 2 years, so YMMV. Set 1: 2 HPDE days, 14 3-lap time trials, 3 autox runs, 4K miles of street driving. These were absolutely done and treacherous in the rain Set #2: 5 HPDE days, 3K miles of street driving. These had...

Heaven help you if one of the Vitour marketing people gets your name on FB, and you make the mistake of accepting the friend request. Massive marketing blast EVERY DAY. It's not Dallas (I know who he is), but an Asian name. It took me 2 days of annoyance before I hid him. Flooding my feed...

Mike - I was hoping you'd show up in this thread. I watched Dave/Mike K put the seasucker rack on in previous years...and their emphasis was on speed ?. I'm not surprised there's some damage on the roof. Watching Adam and Jake put the rack on their car this year...they seemed to be very...

Track Days...140+ before I did my first One Lap in '22, but their requirement is 2 track days. I'd certainly recommend a lot more than that, as you're driving brand new tracks just about every day. It's tough to read a brand new track and drive it in anger. Clearly, by my midpack finish...

Ha...no sympathy here. :-D This was a light year for mileage, as I towed from MD to IN and back, but I still put 3K miles on the car in a week.

Fixed it. Scroll up.

Edited for clarity For time trial/time attack, yes, they suck. For HPDE, they're fine

My frazzled brain has been playing out a whole bunch of scenarios over the last few days. I agree, the smart play is keeping the car and finding the goldilocks "just right" level of modification. To me, that's keeping the car streetable for 3000+ miles in a week, still reliable, and actually...

Extended report card for the RSL29s, post One Lap of America 2025.: If you want to go out, stone cold (car and driver) in a Time Attack/Time Trial mode, this is not the droid you're looking for. After feeling like I was going to blow every braking zone at Gateway and Hedge Hollow, I had to...

As alluded to in this thread...something will change over the next year. If I keep the Supra, I'll go full wings and things, some suspension work, a Seasucker rack, and a small rooftop box. I got pretty tired with the Jenga exercise to pack and unpack the car more than other years, and...

My updates kinda fell off the radar as the week went on - pretty friggin' tired. Let me see if I can answer questions and wrap this up. I met another Supra forums guy - Mike F - can't remember your screen name for my life. Mike's car was HAWT - wrap looked great and the Zebulon aero stuff is...

Ask and ye shall receive (the map) https://www.onelapofamerica.com/images/history/2025/OLOA_25_Map.png Finished up day 5 at VIR - familiar territory for both co-driver and I. We continue to be mid-pack, in the 50s. Neither of us were willing to just send it today. I think we both left some...

Day 4 writeup...National Corvette Museum raceway today. I did a recon day a few weeks ago in a friend's C8, so the track was fresh in my mind. I ran a PB and managed to beat my best lap time in the C8 by about 2 sec. I'm a lot more comfortable in my car, clearly, but that Corvette was quick...

My car is SO stockish. AFE Control sways, F & R AFE Control adjustable end links F & R Verus Camber plates 18x10.5 wheels/275 RE71RS Race brake pads, Pagid RSL29 in front, CSG 11 in the rear. Castrol SRF fluid. That's it. Stock springs, stock everything else. Just got on the road after...

Day 2 complete at World Wide Technology raceway (AKA Gateway) just across the river from St. Louis. My morning run had a bit of a spin (I'm fine, car is fine), so that added some undesired excitement to the day. That kinda screwed up my planning, as the morning session determined our seeding...

A less aggressive tire, like the Conti ECS02 or the Michelin PS4S will make the week easily. The RE71RS will make it, but at the end of the week, wet highway driving is harrowing. Last year, my RE71s were pretty low on tread on Friday as we drove back into Indiana, and a torrential rain for...
