Post here if you track your Rotary

I think the locals know my FD gets plenty of track abuse at TGPR and Barbers. But I bought it so I'd have something fun to drive on the street, AutoX, and track.

BTW going to Road Atl. for the first time in 2 weeks with NASA.

I hate you!! j/k. I was wanting to go to that event, but as always... I'm a day late and a dollar short. I've done auto x since around 2001 and been to a few track days here and there, but haven't been able to do any auto x or track events in around 2 years due to work. I'm hoping to catch a break and make it to the speed for sale track day in october if I can get my mid tour leave around the same. The track bug has hit me hard the last year or so... and it just continues to manifest... haha.

You should try to come to Barbers some too. I'll definately be there with NASA and probably some other groups throughout the year. It's pretty much my home track so I try to go there as much as possible.

I should be at the SforS event too.

Tracking is slightly addictive!!

Once I get back from this deployment, I plan on hitting up the track ALOT!!!

Done one HPDE since I have had my latest FD...had a slight oil leak...tried to find it in the paddocks at the end of day 1, but when I went to remove the spark plug wires from the leading coil pack this is what happened....ending my weekend.

I'm fairly certain that wire had never been removed in 92k miles/15 years since it was uber-corroded. The car is now down for a rebuild and should finally see the track again by late spring/summer.

My brother and I run our gen 1 in PA Hill Climb events. It's not actually a track event, but there ain't no cones either:

We run every other weekend from Memorial Day to the middle of September. We are sanctioned by SCCA as a Time Trial event. All the courses are on public roads except for 2 we run at Summit Point, WV.

I purposely bought my FD to track it!!

...although I haven't done it yet. I've been tracking my M3 for about the past 3 years, and did bikes for a couple years before that.

I bought my FD in January and will hit the first track day/shakedown April 18th weather permitting. This year I will likely still use the M3 for most track schools and work into getting track time and more familiar with the FD.

It's a 93 Touring. The previous owner of my car tracked it regularly, so it's pretty well sorted which is the reason I was attracted to it. Main mods are Advance Design coilovers 600/450 springs (I know...stiff, he used to run it mostly at BeaveRun though which is marble smooth), BBK with Coleman 2 piece rotors and Willwood calipers, Crooked Willow dual oil coolers with carbon fiber ducts, fluidyne, intake, full exhaust, no emissions, stock twins at 13psi, PFC, no a/c, no p/s. Weighed 2820 with an absolutely full tank of gas and one of the spare Kumho 275/40/17 tires sitting in the passenger seat.

I'll likely be taking it to Nelson Ledges, Mid Ohio, and BeaveRun. At this point if I'm going any further then I'll probably take the M3 since I know that car better and have a better idea of its reliability.
