Re: First time at track

I heard that the bithlo track sucks. My teacher is also from up north and he told me when I move back up to NY next year to go to english town in NJ. He said it's a MUCH better track. I think the heat here also sucks. Like I said in my first post, I even got a better time than a new gto and charger. I heard a lot of tires spinning that night. Plus a guy in a ls1 camaro spun out and slammed into the guard rail. As far as weather goes it can't help when you when your running in 90 degree weather with close to 100% humidity. Hopefully my times drop when it starts to cool off and the humidity goes away. I'm probably gonna upgrade my tires too. These cooper cobras suck. I have a hell of a time keeping traction out on the street. Forget about flooring 1st gear. I even have trouble sometimes keeping them from spinning in 2nd.

Yeah I think the guy in the SS was fine. He got out of the car and looked fine. He steered the car while it was being towed off the track.

Re: First time at track

NYC and others that are planning on going back to OSW. what do u guys think about going in say 2 weeks?
if i fix the issues with my car this saturday ( fuel pump) i sohuld be ready to go anytime after and would prefer to go on a wednesday night, much less people.
just let me know.

p.s. my 13.0@104 was at bithlo. but it was during february, so weather was perfect.
like any other track, they are not made for street tires. if u dont bring some kind of slick tire, be prepared not to hook.

Re: First time at track

I'l probably go again in a couple weeks. It depends on if my girlfriend has off or not. She uses the camaro as a commute car to work. She can't drive my maxima cause it's stick. She's scared to death of flooring the camaro so it gets babied when I don't have it. But if she's off that night, i'm down to go.
