First Track day - advice needed

try not to crash.

or let anyone hit you..

Oh yeah...

Wheels falling off is generally seen as impolite, suggest a quick run around with a Torque wrench 1st (100nm)

Good one B_P...been there on the start line for a rally when I was 18 checking the wheel nuts...not not inspire confidence with the co-driver

i went off a cpl times at the end of the start finish straight at just under 100mph but there was loads off room.... I also cooked my brakes outbraking a csl on the backstraight and almost went straight off haha that was not fun at 130mph, thank god there is good runoff just in case

Sounds like the kind of driver who really understands what track days are all about, knows his limits and is really safe to share a track with . Dan there is much better advice from B_P above for your first track day. Hope it goes well

if u read between the lines u will see the point i am trying to get across is that there is NOTHING to worry about as there is lots of runoff so no need to worry about spanking it, secondly also between the lines is that u 100% need pads like ferodo ds2500s also! Ive tried most aftermarket track pads on my old e30 and found all of them bar the ferodos to actually be sufficient even on the road

as for your stupid personal attack, id rather not even dignify that with a response

Apologies if I took your comments out of context. Ok Dan, sorry if I confused the issue, after reading carefully between the lines of the original post as advised I *think* the advice for your first track day is that there is no excuse for not pushing really hard, and that sometimes your brakes won't be able to slow you down enough to get around the corner at the end of the start finish straight but that doesn't matter because you won't hit anything when you go off. Have fun
