The day / days after a track event is something I don't particularly look forward to, though I do admit that I enjoy it sometimes. Besides unpacking the car, I'm looking at a full day to put the car up on jack stands, change out the track pads for the street pads, perform possible oil and other fluid changes, check torque on suspension components, and do a general overall inspection. Then it's off the jack stands and on to the garage floor to reset front camber and do my trusty 4-wheel string alignment.
After that it's time to clean the brake dust off the track wheels and clean up the car. I like to keep my car looking nice and this alone can take a few hours. The inside of the car gets dusty as well (desert southwest) from having to drive with the windows down. Who hasn't driven through a dust devil at Buttonwillow or caught the dust cloud from someone going off track and then received a fine layer of dust evenly laced all over your interior? Plus, I'm busy removing all the black rubber marks from almost everywhere.
But what takes the cake is a day spent at Willow Springs that included migrating butterflies and lots of oil dry through turns 1 and 2 from a couple of cars that decided to deposit their insides on the outside.
Yuck......
