I've heard to run without center caps to help the wheel bearings from getting too hot. This being for track driving, not autocross.

Ah, @NoHaveMSG, there you go. That's why you've been chewing up wheel bearings.

Hahaha, it's my ask dumb questions thread. But learned a lot.

Yes, BMW does have skid pad on their car control clinic as well. I did 1 with BMW and 2 with with PCA, signed up for 3 more for this year. It's like autocross for me, I get a lot of seat time with instructor and can safely push my car while learning one thing at a time. And I can finally meet you in person as well.

Find me and say hi as well. I am signed up for all 3 upcoming ones.

One more update, did a track day with PCA on Thursday. No idea why but felt a lot confident this time, really liked SX2 they make noise when I am skidding even a little and I can focus on correcting speed next time. Maybe those boosted my confidence? Instructor was very happy with my driving and signed me off for solo. I am still planning to get instructions but now I can mix match learning on my own for few sessions.

Will be fun! Maybe @bcj will come hoon with us too.

bcj · 06-02-2024, 03:35 PM

I can come say hi sort of thing.
What sort of cash outlay is needed for this?
I don't have pov-spec lemmons resources.

If it's raining, they don't even need to lay water out.
