I visited the Glen with a PCA chapter from up north and found an awesome track and perfect weather. The facilities were great and the track personnel professional and interested. The track itself was in great condition and faster than anything I've been on before. The armco & tire walls were scarey in a few places, though if you dial back your pace - you get used to it fast (its a wide track) and can transit safely. There were no incidents either day.

I thought I would eat brakes, though it was easier than expected. I went through the final 1/4th of a front pair of Hawk HPS's on day one and a 1/2 of stock pads on day two. Surprisingly, I found the OEM's to have better feel and better overall bite when hot. Too bad they would be so expensive to use in the long run as they wore twice as fast as the Hawks.

I stayed in the Radisson in Corning as suggested by some others, which was just fine - clean is my only requirement. The trip up was some of the best scenery that the US has to offer. Highly recommended trip.

I did a couple 2.13 laps in the morning of my 2nd day, then hooked up the vid just before lunch. So I didn't get my fast laps on tape, but here are a couple of 2.14 laps.

Hi,

Great laps. What tire were you using? Did you use the stock pads for the 2:14? Stock rotors, lines, etc?

Thanks for the help!

Good run. This is my favorite track. That is where I first got started in HPDE back in 2002. I moved from Utica to NC, I still go back every year with PDA that merged with NASA NE. This track makes the tires scream, you never get bored. Man thanks for sharing I can't wait until my car get out of the shop!

Did you find a big diff with PS2s over stock GYs?

Thx,

Significantly better tire in terms of grip. Its also a bit lighter. Too bad I had to sell a few of my children to be able to afford them.

Excellent driving!! That C6Z, modded, is unbelievable. You were blowing by everything on the track. Nicely done.

Now I can't wait to get up to the Glen. I missed out on the annual FCA event at the beginning of May, won't be up there until Labor Day weekend. Love that track!
