Car is an '06 STI with StageII Cobb tune and headers/turboback.
RacecompEngineering helped with just about everything else...seat/suspension/pads/lines/etc.

Stock tires with 5K miles and a few other track days on them keeps me from reallyripping, as they're already blue and cooked to beyond well-done. Most of the other guys were on race-comp tires... a true testament of how well tis car does on stock tires and some suspension work.

Enjoy....

While I've never been to pocono or diven with you I'd have to say that the vidoe looks great but i did notice that you dont seem to shuffle steer as much as you might want to. Also, i notice you dont track out a lot in some areas where it looks like you could. Either way nice video!

You are right about the track-outs and shuffle-steering. I've never been a shuffle-guy, perhaps I should try. And tracking out, well that's just me keeping some semblance of "margin for error"...another thing I need to work on.
Thanks, though, I do appreciate the critique.

Be good,

Just watched 3 of the 5, man you were really laying the spank on most of the field, Esp for the Blue group!

I was there the day after on the long double infield, great weather, all around great day out. Looks like you have an equally great day out.

I just got bumped to the Blue group, my next day out is gonna be on Sat Sept 29th., I think it's on the North course if I remember correctly. You gonna be there?

you can keep your margin of Error, but you better learn to shuffle steer.. or else!

Shuffle steering is HUGE, and makes your hands work the wheel much better. That and heel toe are toe things i think everyone should know.

Thanks, man, it was a good day. Blue seems to be a little quicker than White, but when I mount up other than stock tires...I think I'm gonna need to move up again.

My next trip is Watkins in October 12/13...the Sat/Sun weekend. Saving for rotors and pads now.

I have "heel-toe" down, I'll work on shuffle steering next...
any examples of proper kung-fu?

Thanks,

cool, heel toe is harder to learn. As for examples of proper kung-fu.. i cant find any but really keep each had on its side of the wheel, the left hand should never be on the right side and visa versa....

here is an ok article, I'll try to find something better though.
