TheTed replied to the thread Hooked on Driving - Midwest - Back on Track - Heartland Motorsports Park - Topeka, KS.I agree with Rusty's statements. The track was in very good shape overall pavement wise. I thought it got better throughout the day and others felt that way too. Of course I was also knocking the rust off of it and relearning the track, since... (see full post)
- rwwilli09 replied to the thread Hooked on Driving - Midwest - Back on Track - Heartland Motorsports Park - Topeka, KS.Bill,Track was in very good shape. I am very happy to report that. The rest of the facilities have seen better days, but that was to be expected. I ran 4 sessions as it was hot and humid in Kansas today. Car ran well, now that I am able to push... (see full post)

67GTA replied to the thread S197 @4o6racing.In an effort to track down the random misfires, I decided to change to a new set of injectors and also replace spark plugs. The #8 plug was the first major clue to the issue. The threads were rusted all the way to the conical seat. Ugh... (see full post)

dave2278 replied to the thread S197 Redrum "GT350".Awesome advice, thank you. I like the addition of steering angle, I do that the autocross, but everything you read or hear says to have a constant angle, I’m excited to try some different methods. (see full post)
Randomtask replied to the thread S550 : rear brake upgrade, ran the numbers and got a surprise.I was having the same issues with the rear single piston caliper - Just generating stupid heat and destroying pads. Front brembos have been great, the oem rear not so much.Finally bit the bullet and went full AP. The kit, the delivery paperwork... (see full post)
