I've been combing through the site and have gleaned quite a bit of information. I'm a converted drag racer and was a top fuel wrench for almost ten years. I picked up this 2002 ws6 m6 car with the hopes of rekindling my interest in motorsports. I sold my 555 powered dragster but kept my 32' enclosed trailer its quite useful for just about anything.
This is going to be a weekend canyon carver, see a few autoX events, and 6-10 track days at high plains raceway east of Denver.
The car is pretty much dead stock right now. My first changes were going to be either koni sports or bilstein hd shocks on strano springs along with hawk pads up front. Next would be stranos 35/22 sway bar kit and panhard. The next pieces will either be a torque arm or ways link and scrap the panhard. I'm gonna but a set of dedicated track wheels and appropriate tires as well.
How does this parts progression look?
What all does everyone bring with them to the track? I assume a set of spare rotors and pads, anything else?
I imagine I'll trailer the car to and from the track it's an hr or so away, I'd hate to break and have to travel all the way back to get a trailer that I could have just brought the first time.
