In order for me to become in “awe” of a car, i pretty much need to drive it. Too many cars look great but drive like absolute shit. ---

He’s a great guy and he’s been instructing at the glen for a few years now. The last time I tuned his Supra I told him one of these days I’ll get down there so he can instruct me and I’m sticking to it. 🙂 ---

I think one of the instructors was supposed to drive it. Whoever was driving created a train of cars behind, and was driving extremely slow. Maybe the car was not running right or something. > [@TORQDSS](#): > > looks like a blast, how did you get in with Trackmasters? is there a sign up somewhere? [Trackmasters.com](http://Trackmasters.com), they have novice and intermediate schools. If you have never driven the Glen before its probably best to get into the novice school if your interested, the problem is I think they only schedule it once a year in May. Its alot of fun and the instructors are great. ---

Sounds like you had fun Spencer. I need to make it to another track day at the glen… let me know if you plan another anytime soon. Out of curiosity, what brake pads were you running? Did you lose any pedal throughout the session? Oh and, what speeds were you hitting on the back straight and with what boost and octane? Mike ---

Also I had a habit of braking really early after the toe of the boot into turn 8. I loved the whole boot. My instructor was actually suprised that I got the hang of it so easily. And baking my stock brakes in the bus stop was AWESOME. I baked them so bad I had to go straight instead of going through the bus stop. I had SO much fun going out in my instructors Audi Coupe, he was an AMAZING driver and a really really good teacher. ---

Mike sugguested I fab up some ducting to cool down the brakes. I was on pump, 15 psi, hit about 120 before braking before the chicane or “bus stop”. That was one of my worst parts on the track, I was not taking in enough speed into turn one and through 3 and 4. Mike H took the whole streach from turn 2 in 5th and I think topped out at 140. I just shifted into 5th at the top of the back straight.
