Race Tracking Your Supra - Information exchange

[AndyK5]

I was (successfully) completing turn 9 at 90-95 mph at the apex. I'm not perfect by any means, just something I was able to reproduce throughout the day.

I ain't calling you a liar btw, it’s just 100mph thru there is like dunking in basketball. A small percent of everyone who plays can do that and if you are you should def not be in HPDE1.


Now 90mph sounds a lot more reasonable as thats still really fast and easy to get off with.

I mean, he wasn't able to do it, he flew off the track. Wasn't that the whole point of his post? lol.

Ya'll acting like you have never gone on a off-tarmac excursion before.

Yeah...my confusion was that usually HPDE1 guys don't have the balls to hit there at 100Mph whether they make it or not. If you are not used to track speeds your brain pulls the plug before you and people lift/brake. Again, not saying it did not happen, just means it is very much out of the ordinary.

Yea, well now he knows, haha.

I miss tracks where if you go off you just get met with a dirty interior, not a cement/metal/tire wall.

I've been told to try HPDE2 next. This was just my third ever track day, second time at Willow Springs.

Anyone know where I can source a replacement shock for Ohlins? 3DM seems to be the best spot but looks like he is going to be hard to get ahold of for who knows how long. Ohlins USA wont get back to me either... This is holding up my car going back together now as the body shop says they do suspension stuff before body work.

Why not throw the oem struts on for now?

Body shop said they dont want to. Would rather hold up progress until the correct part comes in. Also would have to swap over to my 10" wheels which are waiting for tires to show up. I am seriously contemplating just buying a whole set of Ohlins to rob the parts out of and then sell them once the replacement parts come in.

This is why I really like one of North Texas' local tracks, Motorsport Ranch, Cresson. It's not the most exciting track, but it's got a little bit of everything and is very, very low risk in terms of damage occuring if you go off track. Really allows you to get comfortable with a car. If you skip to 8:25 you'll see a nice fun off I had last time attack event when my GY SC3's had a little too much heat in them ?
