Journey to the Track!!
Edited 03/30
I initially thought to post this in the tracking subforum, but it turned out to be more of a photo thread than a techniques/advice thread. Enjoy! The climax:  ….but back to where it all began.  Left home at 5am for the 160-mile trek to Harris Hill Raceway  Got stopped by a train along the way  Sunrise silhouette shot  Almost there!  Stopped to take a shot before the onslaught   Set up shop near the starting grid    Classroom session   Ready to go!!  Green to grid!!  Started at 32 PSI, up to 35 PSI after 1st session  Tire wear after 2 sessions   Tire wear after 3 sessions (Front) Tire wear after 3 sessions (Rear)  Hip shot before gridding  Succesfully completed all my objectives for the day, and came out in one piece! (unlike the track mascot car)  The real damage  Thanks to Kurt Bradley for being a great flag station volunteer and for the action photos below. He did the work for Jalopnik for the McLaren 650S test drive in Austin.   3/28 OP So much win!! Edited photos to save necks.

Track day, lovin' it! I look forward to getting my car on the track for a couple of laps, though looking at those tires........I guess I need to set aside funds for a new set sooner rather than later

 Didn't get below 11.8 avg for the full 4 sessions. I guess that means I probably hit close to 9 in the 4th round?? Either way, it's just amazing how capable these cars are on the street during the week and on the track on the odd weekend!
