Jan is from Bessemer and has not been on this track before. Unforunately it was a shortened stint and the weather made 2 warmup laps prudent.
Interesting cars on track .... GT4, GT2, GT3, AMG GTR, C8, race prepped GT4 it was a busy lap.

Chin Track Days have an excellent format and are personable folk

How are those tires Sam? I been thinking about trying them. Price is good.

I am still evaluating them really, so don't want to say alot yet

ha we know each other! you are getting around well in your car, and you know the other guys with e36. anyway. I kind of stiff armed you but it is true I am evaluating them still. I am getting mixed performance out of the car/driver so far. ugg and this car keeps throwing me problems so i am not getting alot of seat time. last time at RATL, pilot bearing gave me a broken trans case, this time threw a serpentine belt, also ran without a lip/splitter. now on a steel fly vs. aluminum too. so it is truly idk. So far I have seen pretty good stuff from the tire. They say mid corner it is great and it does feel good there. But my times are all over since running them first with JTI in Jan, then COTA, then RATL, then BMP. RATL 2 stints, BMP 3 :(

I’ve been having a run of bad luck myself with some part failures that ended my track days. I guess that’s just how it works. I think I have everything worked out and will do the chin event on the 8th. Trying to get my e36 pals Mike and Dan to come also. I’m on kumhos right now. I really like them however they are not as fast as the federal slicks I was running so I may try something else when these are done.
