would a Cadillac XLR make a decent track car? I was thinking its a vette underneath.
Probably. In the last NASA time trial event there was a 2008 ish CTSV that won TT3 group by something like 3 sec. I think pretty much any car can be a good track car with the right setup. In the case of the crazy fast CTSV, I think he took the car class rules and squeezed every ounce out of it and had a really fast combo.would a Cadillac XLR make a decent track car?

Last autocross for me till Feb. the car felt really good. I only lost to my buddy by .06 sec in our “EM” class. In our “double runs”, I beat all the guys with our type of car by 1 sec. I found places to cut time and just go.
Nice.cool
I’m signed up for a NASA event at a track I’m very familiar with (msrh) at the end of January. I‘ll need new front tIres beforehand though. Not to mention, I want to test a few different springs on the front too.
Well, 50* and 80% chance of rain that entire weekend, so I canceled. An open wheel car in those conditions just doesn’t really sound all that fun.cool

What is that thing again? Looks like a big boy go cart
Pretty much. Street legal though.What is that thing again? Looks like a big boy go cart
I have only been there once, but that was before the repave. CMRA (motorcycles) raced there last year for the first time in a long time. I wanted to go, but 100* august weather in full leathers didn’t sound like fun. The race is in august again this year. We will see how I feel if I go. I heard the track is awesome now.My buddy and I run Eagles Canyon a few times a year.
I usually run first lap at the track @ 30, but as soon as I pit, drop em back down to 32 as they are much higher when hot.General Tuesday question:
I have a coworker joining us at autocross next weekend. He’s running a bone stock 01 Porsche 911 AWD non turbo. I’m going to assume normal tires that would normally be at 32 psi on the street. What would be a decent tire pressure for autocross? I know just run what ya got, but thought I would bring it down a tad to help out a little bit, but I’m not sure how much.

i wish someone would buy MSR Houston and repave that track. I was there yesterday for a track day (CMRA race weekend) and it just gets worse and worse.
Don’t knock my little ninja. I can beat on that thing like a red headed step child and it keeps asking for more. Almost no maintenance, plus tires, chain and brakes last forever. Not to mention it only uses less than 5 gallons of gas for the day.Less coasting, more gas, baby bike
Ideally you could confirm with temps across the tread but at the least use chalk on the sidewalls and keep dropping pressure until you are using the whole tire
This is ironic.
didn't he have a heart attack or some shit?This is ironic.
