track days are the best days. putting taller tires on this year hoping to hit 150 on the front stretch. would like to see more chrome cars on the track. at the events I attend even to see a c4 is rare much less a c3 or pony cars, the old trans am cars, those owners must be saving them for dusting and car shows.:

Second video my slicks are up to heat and I'm using up the rumble strips which is that buzzing sound in the corners

Third video I'm having fun flat tracking the car because I has the fastest lap already. that is why the slicks were squealing
