Managed to get some time at the track this weekend and it was pretty good stuff. Did pretty well and got bumped up into intermediate class for the next time with SCDA.

Also I got to try out the new wheel/tire combo at New Hampshire International Speedway. They are 235/40/17 Nitto NT-01s with 17x8.5 Enkei RF-P1s.

Great weather this weekend perfect for these tires. Grip is insane coming from only racing HPDEs on street tires. Very little noise on cornering, only some minor squeal when you reach the limit of traction and they are forgiving at the limit as well. Probally about 4~6 more track days with these tires and they will be corded. For me that's more than a season so cost shouldn't be an issue.

Like most of the SCDA events they have a pro taking pics and here are a few.

My Max got blue eyes on the 2nd day. Alot of track debris getting kicked up.

Good times
