I only live an hour from Daytona but it is very rare that a group will actually rent it because it is so expensive. The PBOC rented it out and I'm Solo qualified with them so I was good to go. They didn't allow any novice drivers. I have always wanted to drive Daytone and it didn't disappoint. The high banking is a hoot and I have a whole new respect for the NASCAR boys that can go 3 wide at the speeds they are running.
It rained most of the day on Sunday and during my first session I went out in the dry but ran into a torential down pour coming down the back straight. I'm running V710's so no tread and heavy rain isn't good. I took NASCAR 3&4 at a greatly reduced speed on my way to pit in and discovered that all of the rain running off the roof goes directly into the drivers door panel in that situation.

Nice video....thanks for sharing (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Looks like your car handles the tight turns really well....you mentioned the V710s but what's your suspension setup? Looks really flat and tight... Also looks like you have the track figured out pretty well for your first event there....nice driving (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) |

Also looks like you have the track figured out pretty well for your first event there....nice driving (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) My setup is pretty much outlined in my signature below. I have Strano springs, Koni single adjustables up front, Bilstein heavy duties for a third gen in the rear, Suspension Techniques 35mm solid front bar, Strano 22mm hollow rear bar, Unbalanced Engineering panhard bar, Torsen T2R diff, 315/35-17 V710's all around and Corvette C6 brakes up front with Blaine Fab ducts. Nothing very trick but I really enjoy the setup and obviously have utilized this site and its vendors. Thanks for the compliment on my driving but I must confess that Daytona really isn't that technical so I picked it up pretty quickly. I would have liked to have an experienced person ride with me to give me some pointers since that was the line that felt good to me but I'm not sure if it was the fastest way around. |
