Ground Control 650/600, QA1 shocks, Hotchkis sway bars. I had a passenger all day and the iron block adds some weight also.

I was running Hankook Z214's. 245/40-18. I lowered the car to 26.25" for the track with the smaller diameter tires.

I leave all the vids from start to finish. Sorry.

You gotta do yourself justice and upload them on the computer to get them better than 240p. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, I turned it completely off after the tires started getting too greasy. I don't like the Hankook Z214's but that's all I could get my hands on in time for the track day.

I come out of the key hole at about 50. My car pulls pretty hard. I'm right at 140 at the kink.

The only think I dislike are those Hankooks. I used to run Hoosier Grand Am Series slicks but I couldn't find any before this event.


I suppose I could have carried more speed if this didn't happen. Lol. The passenger side sway bar end link nut came loose and fell off. I drove half the day without the sway bar connected on that side.

I bet that was clanking around pretty loud as you were flogging it round the track
