Great job keepin up with the stangs and g35s!!
When it's a rookie event- it's easy to beat cars that potentially are faster. Skill and understanding of particular tracks make a huge difference.

I use to race karts as a kid. But have never tracked my 5 before. I was thinking about tracking it this summer.
How did you find your tire wear after a day at the track? Did you use your everyday tires? How about every other components Aka brakes, fluid, suspension? I've heard mixed reviews about tracking your "every day car" which is why I've been hesitant.. Anything to be concerned about or to-do before you track your car?

Cool pix btw

Thanks

and this events aren't rookie events the two mustangs and the subaru were running slicks and fully adjustable coilovers ontop of engine mods the silver mustang is on a full fr500 track suspension setup headers back exhaust intake tune and nitto nt05s the g35 had coilovers and summer tires idk which ones but he had power adders all those guys very experienced drivers i race with them at every event and those are just 5 out of 100 somethings cars there
