Good news is you’ll only get better.

Looking forward to getting back out there and improving my lines and speed.

Hopefully one of these days we can get some locals with G8x out there
For sure! Need to get used to the speed and should be able to get it to sub2 quite easily. Goal is sub 1:55 before any power mods haha

Smart. Mismatching revs is hard on the driveline over the long run. When I'm cocky I'll disable rev matching but inevitability I'll unbalance the car and scare myself back to reality.

Yeah, my goal is sub 1.55 time too.

Sucks getting home watching your videos and seeing so many area for improvements and mistakes. I plan on getting a Garmin catalyst for my next track day to help out.

Power wise. I think I’ll wait that out for warranty. Tracks here in SoCal aren’t so power focused and the M is pretty quick. (Coming from a 700hp track GTR).
This time around I want to learn to drive faster while slower.

Well said! My next event will be 10/20 with SDC and I’ll have James from TDE coaching me hahaha. He’s in RWE’s cup car team, that says a lot about his driving abilities. Maybe big willow is more power oriented, but chuckwalla and Buttonwillow do favor corner speed.
Quite a difference from a GTR! My last “track car” or the car I bring to the track is a W213 E63 wagon lol. I have a lot to learn to say the least!!

She spicy! Cleaned up real good. Carpro Dlux worked really well on these power coats.

Nice man. Wish we could've matched up on the same days. My car wasn't prepped at all as I thought I was going to have to cancel because of work. Had a last minute change and was able to make it out. Not optimal but better than nothing. I'll see if I can make the 10/20 event.

Did Speed District post the photos from that weekend yet?
