well besides my car NOT being set up for road racing it is by far the most fun and biggest adrenaline rush from racing ive ever had. when i first got there i was a little scared to get on the track seeing all the cars there lambos, ferreris, skylines, porsches out the a$$, saw a few vetts and stangs. but after my buddy talked me in to doing it (well really there was not much talking) all i can say is WOW that was fun!

pics and vids will be posted soon.

Glad you liked it. The NordSchleife has certain fascination .
I went to the Hockenheimring and had a blast. Did a really slow sesson but I drove home .
Also seen Ben there .

i still got to get the vids up. though the guy riding with me did a lot of taping my dash! but it still some good vid!

now after seeing how my car handles that track it just gives me more reason to do my suspension! cant wait to go back!

Consider yourself a winner if you came back without racing stripes

Thats especially true if you are still running with the LT1 Caliper and rotors. :burnout:

Awesome! Can't wait to go myself. I hope to be up and running in the Spring with the new motor and Strano setup.

i got stock calipers but I'm running power slot rotors with ceramic pads in the rear and Kevlar in the fount.

but now i got a revised wish list for my car...i don't think i could build a straight 1/4mile car after running that track! it was TOO much fun!

View Video on FQuick

the person with the camera was trying to tape with 2 cameras so theirs a lot of dash footage....

more to come as they upload

Did you have any problems with the authority to video? I heard they are strict about not allowing it.

93_Z28_Guy · **Posted:** Sun Oct 19, 2008 7:57 pm

no, no one said any thing to me about it.

Chevroletfreak · **Posted:** Sun Oct 19, 2008 8:15 pm

Cool!

It is posted on that gigantic board where you buy your ticket that video taping is not allowed. It is all good until you get caught.

Don't take this wrong or anything , but judging from the video you should be okay with your pad selection. Once you start stepping up the pace you will start to see the pad performance falling off as the pads cannot cope with the heat.

Keep the vids coming , and and enjoy.

Don't get me wrong Tony. I am not trying to get you in trouble. I was just asking because I sure as he!! plan on doing a video and pics!

I bet you were having fun -- I'm doing this (Nuerburgring) for 7 years now...

Was in Hockenheim yesterday to bed-in my new Stoptech brakes and test the different springs...
Roy, my camber is set at 2Â°20' now which is a bit too much. The increased front traction makes the rear too loose. I'll go back to maybe 1Â°40'.

Ben if you haven't tried it yet , try lowering your air pressure to no lower than 28 psi in the rear.

OK I'll try... haven't gone that low...

That is what I have mine at and it works pretty well for the most part.
