    I don't think my integra will spin a tire outside of 1st gear.

    One other thing: check your brakes! I ended up fading my stock ones on my integra at BFR after only 2 1/2 laps.

    No need to worry about brakes this time around. Gigantic StopTech brake package ready to go with Panther XP8 track pads. Seriously, freakin' huge.

    No need to worry about traction coming out of corners either. AWD. Floor it and hold on. It's fun

    I plan on taking it easy though considering this will be the first track time with the all-new setup. Plus, my 275 Proxies RA1s are brand new as well, and not shaved so... bah. Couldn't get anyone to shave them. Bastards.

    mainly, Braking.

    start braking early,
    and SLOWLY, decrease braking zone.

    is the key to a Safe and fun weekend.

    accelerate out of corners slowly too,
    until you know your car and how much it can spin the tires
    accelerating out of a turn.

    I did a little search because I was curious as to how it is done. I'm going to go get lunch now and practice this.

    Mike,
    My car just finished in time... time about cutting it close. It's on it's way back from Ohio right now.

    Look for me saturday in the maroon colored Stealth. Would be great if you could come along for a ride early sunday or late saturday.

    Only catch is, the car won't be pushed at all. It's a fresh new setup that I'm not willing to risk at all yet. I'm planning on 10-15 minute sessions instead of 20 so I can be cautious, check logs, verify everything is working as expected etc. Last thing I need to do is be overzealouos and break something less than 48 hours after getting it back.

    One thing I recently found out is to steer into the turn at the same rate you let off the brakes. Getting on the gas is easier because you don't have to let off the wheel fully when you roll onto the gas.
