Honestly i feel you on the traffic thing but for me once i see that’s the case i switch up my mindset really quickly and just focus on doing some racing instead of setting lap times. That way i prevent myself from getting frustrated at being behind someone because really it’s not bad that there’s some traffic it’s just your mindset going in was on setting lap times. You gotta let that go real quick lol

16:06 BYE PAT!! Such a beautiful McLaren. Can’t wait to see you driving it

Awesome stuff!! You’re really carrying awesome speed through 2-4!

thanks! it was def a little sendy on my best lap but we made it work 😅

Love these videos bro. Thanks.

You should make a video explaining how you got into racing, buying your car, upgrading, etc.

I could be down! the short answer is I wanted to go faster than was safe on back roads so did a little googling and went to my first track day 🤙

Smart. Good to quit when you are tired and done.

The Toyota motors in the Elise kinda suck... It would be decent with a k20 motor but then your another $10k into the car... Also the short wheel base makes them a handful with no notice. The FRS/BRZ is a great machine.

Stock FRS/86 wheels are not wide enough.

Hey brother, love your stuff. Quick question, what oil and weight do you use?

Do you like lightning better or Thunderbolt?

@dadhats

14 күн бұрын

I think lightning it's more forgiving and has better flow than thunderbolt imo. also it's much easier for me to compete with high hp cars at lightning for track battles

are you using a gps module, or are you just using the one on your phone?

I have a gps. using a lap timer with just the phone if basically pointless

Hey man, we talked once before but right now I’m really trying to figure out where I want to take the car, I’d love to be able to track the car like you do and everything just mainly wondering what you’re reason is for not adding boost, thanks! Love the content

@dadhats

13 күн бұрын

the main reason is cost but also reliability and if I ever wanted to compete it would cause a lot of issues for classing. you can expect to pay at least 6-8k for a reputable turbo kit + labor + the increased cost of consumables. I def prefer spending my money on seat time but maybe one day I'll change it up

@@JoshuaKelsey-di5cv not currently part of any club no. my go to has been running with track night and they usually cost around $200 for 3 sessions, most times they hand out $25 coupons tho. I've also ran with masstuning and netc where you get nearly double the track time but prices range from $300-$330

@@timothyryan1972 typically it's recommended right away, I've heard horror stories about ppl blowing their motor on their first track day without the oil cooler. I got away with it for a few track days but don't remember specifically when I got it, you could sort by my oldest videos n check the description. I've been recording ever since my 2nd track day. I also started at Englishtown which doesn't have as many flat out sections, maybe that's why I got away with it for as long as I did
