Bad Day at the Track
Well, I suppose a bad day at the track is better than no day, but my day at the track was a bit too eventful.
My latest addition to my SRT6 was new MIchelin Pro Sport Cups at a tune of $1500.00. Yes, I know I must be nuts, but I was looking for really good sticking to the track power.
Anyway, I drove at Putnam Park today in a Speed 100 Lapping Day. I was black flagged twice for spinning off the track. Never in my days on the track have I even run off, so this was entirely new to me. My first really bad spin in turn 4 almost ended in a terrible accident, but the other drivers did a great job avoiding me. I sorta had a "Jesus take the wheel" moment as I couldn't control the spin. Then later on, I spun out at turn 9. So, I ended my day with that. Come to find out, I had too much air in the Sport Cups, unbeknownst to me. These tires need less air than what usual tires need. So I learned a big lesson. I'm hoping I'll be allowed back on the track in the future.
So, how was your day?
