Easy solution: get a slower car :)

Toyota Yaris

@@IanKorf thank you. BTW, was contemplating a lucky dog race at Sonoma and I remember reading you think that track is dangerous? Did I dream that or can you elaborate? Thanks!!

@@pkonyoutube Sonoma is more dangerous than other tracks because there are a lot of walls and the endurance races typically happen in the wet months. But it's not so dangerous that you should avoid it. It's an epic track 100% worth doing. Just be extra careful.

@@IanKorf oh ok, thanks. so a run in June is pretty kosher then? I really appreciate your blog - I know a couple individual content creation can feel like you are shouting into a well. Thanks for your efforts!

@@pkonyoutube June will be great. Thanks for the appreciation.

At least they gave me credit at the end. Here's a video where the text is verbatim from my blog and they didn't give any attribution: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnPCoIaEbsadnqs

@@IanKorf rude

Have fun. If you're being timed, I wish you good fortunes and fast laps.

@@IanKorf much appreciated. It's an SCCA Time Trial, so we'll definitely be on the clock

Tire probably only derimmed itself... Wheel was probably broken aswell but doubt it got ''smashed into tiny pieces''

Look at how far each is from the edge of the track then they are at the start of the drag race and then the moment of contact. Both move, one of them moves much further.

@@cyberfukdracing1207 as an impartial observer, i do see some blame on both cars. one for being jerky/unaware, but its also up to the passing car to pass safely (make absolutely sure you are clear before inching over for another pass when already going 2-3 wide)

I think it's the stock wheel. It's a parts bin car, so it probably is the 5 series wheel!

Does the description not show up on mobile or something. The second sentence is literally "Most of the video is at 2x speed because..."

I'm sorry, I rarely read descriptions. That's my bad. :( Great series on the website! :)

@@ChadGeidel Thanks

Not really coaching from inside the car anymore.

It's not that high actually. I cut away a lot of the body with the intention of adding HUGE wheels. These are 215/40/17, so 23.9" diameter. That's only a little larger than the 23" we have on the front (225/45/15). However, I also sometimes use 205/55/16 (25" diameter) because I got some Maxxis VR1 for $60 shipped. I don't think we're faster on huge rear wheels. We do it mostly for comedy.

You'll get there.

Convertible rules depend on the organization running the track day

Thanks

Wow I screamed when he finally passed him 🤣🤣🤣

If they don't have cones up, that's how everyone goes through there. And if they do have cones up, they don't last very long.

I haven't been doing that much recently. If we're at the same event I'd be happy to take a ride-a-long with you and vice-versa. Let me know when you're going to the track next time. BTW, the trick to cresting hills like T8 is to have your steering wheel straight as you go over. Do your turning beforehand and you can go straight over.

@@IanKorf that sounds great! I damaged my car a little bit from dropping a wheel on the outside of turn 6, but once I get the car fixed I’ll let you know when I plan to head out there again. Thanks for the tip!

@@IanKorf by chance are you available on 7/22 or 8/26? My office is thinking of having a small client networking event at the 3-mile track, but none of us are pros so I mentioned your name and told them about your teaching style and we'd love to have your guidance if you can make it! My boss is lending her 765LT and 720S for the event, and I'm bringing my 4C. You'd be welcome to bring your car too and do some lead/follow or ride alongs. The only thing is we're capped at 5 cars.

@@jeffreyp5088 I'll be around. Send me an email

It handles like a Miata for the most part. The long hood makes it feel a little different though. On the skid pad, it's a little bit less controllable. The suspension has some adjustability, but I've been lazy and not experimented with it. The Variant 2 isn't specifically designed for this car but all Z3s, and this one is a couple hundred pounds lighter than most because it's a 1.9.

I've been using them for years on my endurance race cars. All of my cars are low power, so there isn't much braking involved.

@@IanKorf I started off on them. They offer the same fade resistance as a lot of the expensive "JDM" pads that people like to put on their s2000s. On the street they dont feel the best but they surprised me on the track,

It's such a great track. Enjou!

Everyone is on pretty much the same tires as the rules don't allow much variation. I have it in my notes that I used a "mix" of tires for that event. I was using Federal 595 RS-RR, Falken RT615K, and Bridgestone RE-71R at the time in 205/50/15 on 7" rims. The Miata pictured was probably on something similar. The suspension on the Yaris is the non-adjustable TRD kit. It might be a re-branded Tokico blue. The Miata should have out-cornered me but the driver brakes too much on corner entries.
