Been a long time between posts. Going to make an effort to post more often.
This last weekend brave Sheri Ray and I went to experience TWS once more with Chin Motorsports. http://www.chinmotorsports.com/
Chin is quite simply lots of track time for a budget price. They are friendly, and moving into the Texas area. Your only better deal would be the TWS PDS days, I think.
We went down on Saturday only, wanting to avoid staying in College Station with the crazy fluctuating hotel rates. Made for an early but easy drive.
We did all the car prep on Friday. New brake rotors for me, new tires for both of us. Tried out some Michelin scrubs (slicks) from JB Racing Tires. If you do track days and you don’t know about this guy, you should. John Berget gets truckloads of lightly used racing tires and sells them to folks like us for cheap. We got eight Michelin slicks delivered for less than $1500. I would estimate they had maybe 1-2 heat cycles on them. Hard to beat.
Day started well, with a new personal best for me, 1:50.8 counter clockwise. Getting better! The Tim Ray Splitter, Mk. 3 held together fine, even with an offroad expedition in the third session.
The last hour of the day is a Chin motorsports tradition: Happy Hour. They send everyone who wants to do it out on track. Sheri and I did lead follow for 45 minutes with her doing two laps, then dropping back and me leading for two laps. Very informative.
Then we loaded up and drive home. We were able to get the cars unloaded before dark to end a great day.
