First track day at Roebling
Went to my first track day at Roebling Road (Savannah, GA) through Chin Motor Sports. Impressions:
- If you really want to see what your car can do, do a track day / weekend, period.
- The GT runs great and will do you proud running with a lot of other "higher performance" vehicles. Understeer is bad, but you can still push it through the corners pretty well. Brake pads and brake fluid are the most important mods before you go. I had no problems whatsoever with brake fade (but Roebling isn't the worst track for brakes (unlike say Sebring)).
- Super fun! Learned a ton. The Chin team is great.
- Roebling is a great track to consider for your first event as there's only one wall to worry about and pretty good run-offs everywhere else. Only a couple gear of gear shifts required.
Thanks to all on the board who helped me prepare + the modular pwrhouse team.
