I finally got my car out to a HPDE Weekend. SVT Cobra Mustang Club, Apex and VIR really made my first track weekend memorable. I met some very nice people and learned a lot. I pulled the Cup2s to save for later and ran 305 30 19 Apex 19x11 SM10 Wheels on RS4 tires square.

RS4's did great and handled the torrential rain on the 4 hour ride home well.

Here's a lap from my first session on day 2. My instructor was right...I didn't feel like I slept much, I spent the night driving the track :)

Can't wait to go back and build on what I've learned.

Thanks for sharing and welcome to the addiction! I was at the event, but didn't get a chance to meet you. (I was in the blue / red run groups in my Violet Viper).

I would recommend getting a ride along with an instructor that drives a GT350 to see what they can do. You'll shave 5 seconds a lap every time you do that. See you in Nov?!?!

Thanks! I remember your car. Very nice! I met a couple guys in your run group hopefully I’ll get a ride in November. I have a lot to learn...I’m sure just cleaning up a few things and drive the line better will lower lap times by itself. Look forward to meeting you in the fall.
