So this was my 4th track day. We were out at Chuckwalla speedway about an hour past Palm Springs. It's a brand new track & they are still building it up. That track is very fun. Not a fast track but more of a drivers track. The fastest i went was about 105, but all turns were between 55-85.
I put on some Hoosier R6's & well i was able to go about 10-15mph faster. The feel on those tires are insane. I did not have the camera in but my last session i was chasing down a STI with 430WHP. He would def pull on me out of the turns & down the straight but i had better tires & would catch him in the turns.
Was my first time on track tires & it was way more fun. I know most here either sit in a parking lot or run straight lines, But this is a new track event & on Sat there were 5 cars & on Sunday there were 15-20 cars. So open track for 2 days. If you ever want to push your car this type of event would be a good way. I would go through a little more than a 1/4 tanks of gas each session, Session time was about 20-25 minutes, did 6 sessions total & went through almost 2 tanks of gas. I also wore out my brake pads. I am using EBC Reds..yeah they got me 25,000 miles & 3 track days.
Here are 2 vids.

Dude that's sick! You got the Hoosiers! Haha wish we could have joined you bro. But hopefully soon we can all do Laguna

I'm sure everyone was surprised to see a Lexus out there, like that coming out of the woodwork like a true track capable machine. Glad you had a blast bro we should all do dinner soon! Catch up!

Edit: And you got the V12's how are those holding up to the expectations?

yeah, i will heading out to the track in June again. They do have a track day at the end of May but i will be in Seattle...The V12 are good...but after the r6's on the track i will never do a track day without them...The V12 push way to easy..I did a test on a road out in Havasu, & they just loose it after a certain speed. The r'6 you can go hard & they just keep stickn'
