Default Another track day at HMS

With ERME-

Changes to the car include:

Hawk DTC 70 Front, 60 Rear

New rotors front/rear NTO's from Roush.

Hoosier 225 R6 tires Slightly used but way better grip than P Zeros

2010 GT all stock other than above.

Car felt solid, other than too fast on some cornr entry speed in some places, the tires seem fairly predictable with my limited driving experience.
However I was able to reach SOLO status, and they let me loose w/No instructor!
Was a blast, got about 3 hrs of track time total.

One thing I noticed was a fine mist of gear oil on the back bumper, trans is dry but have to check the rear vent tube when I get home, maybe heating up the diff a little.

Anyone ever try a cooler on the diff? Maybe not necessary for a stocker?

My diff pukes varying amounts after driving round the track. I've seen the TSB for a different vent but haven't gotten in to have it changed yet.
