Hey, I have no story, just want to something to a real racer about the motorcycle riding earplugs. My name is Jack Frank from SC, USA. When searching something in the google and then see your interwebs and raise a keen interest in my mind.
I could probably make a PittRaceD Griff wrote: ↑Sun Jun 09, 2019 8:04 am I’ve never really partaken in this thread, but figured I’d hop in as I’ve been doing a bit more track day bro stuff.
I did my first TNIA last week and loved it. We have a few each year at Charlotte Motor Speedway on the Roval, which was quite different from any other tracks I’ve driven and a lot of fun. Nothing like accelerating up to 125+ all the way in the throttle through those huge banked turns.
TNIA was super laid back and great bang for buck from a time and money perspective. I also noticed quite a few Boxsters and S2000s running with no sign of a broomstick test or similar which I thought was interesting.
I’m going to do another track night on 6/26 at Carolina Motorsports Park where I usually run.
Other possibilities during the remainder of this year or next are VIR, Road Atlanta, possibly Dominion Raceway (went in my GTI and it was a neat track). If a DFDup at Barber or PittRace ever went down, I’d be interested.
They did check my helmet but that was it, took me at my word with my tech form.Detroit wrote: ↑Mon Jun 10, 2019 8:56 amI could probably make a PittRaceD Griff wrote: ↑Sun Jun 09, 2019 8:04 am I’ve never really partaken in this thread, but figured I’d hop in as I’ve been doing a bit more track day bro stuff.

Would be 5/7.
TNIA is way more laid back than most events I've been to...I thought I recall them saying the point was to get out and have fun, not getting caught up in broomstick tests and whatnot. When I went, they didn't even check the SNELL sticker in my helmet, just wanted to see that I had a helmet. I really enjoyed it overall.

I actually just signed up for another TNIA event on the 26th, only $135 with a promo code. Pretty killer deal for me, living in “America’s Home For Racing” is proving to have its perks.

its a car. I doubt the cycling of the engine on the TSI in the R is any more detrimental then it is on any other engine.Gberg2119 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 08, 2019 8:37 pm Racer bros of DFD. I'm about to go to my first autocross with the R this weekend and I was wondering what I should do in between runs. At the philly events there's a decent amount of time between runs and since there are so many cars it makes sense to turn it off. I did this when I ran my GTI but I have no idea if that contributed to that cars amazing ability to eat waterpumps and have a multitude of other issues.
The fans on the R kick on way more frequently than they did on the Mk6 but I still don't know when I should shut it off. Should I wait till I see a specific oil temp? I guess howshould I be with gas before turning the car off?
Also, the R is B Street so as of right now it's 2 GT350's and a Z4 M coupe in the same class.![]()
