Some tracking days are wow days, today was one of those.
Really good selection of high-performance high horsepower cars and drivers showed up today.
Camaro RS1 600 hp, Shelby Cobra 660hp, modded Corvette 700 HP, GTR 600 hp, BMW M4, an open wheel racer, and several $200,000 Porsches and a bunch more. And I clearly bested at all of them! The Giulia was clearly one of the fastest if not the fastest car there today and on street tires!
Plus the national Porsche Parade convention is in Spokane this week so a bunch of nice Porsches showed up today too.
Got up to 150mph in the straightaway, that's all I'm going to get on street tires. And I was pulling over 1G in the turns. Display said I got up to 1.2G not bad for street tires.
Another great thing was my new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S (300 hardness) tires worked out really well. I finally had a full tracking day driving really hard without wearing my tires out a lot. I think I could get five or six full tracking days out of a new set of tires which is good for tracking really hard.
And Tory from this forum showed up and I was able to give him a hot lap run, he said he was amazed. But now I think it's going to be harder for him to wait for his beautiful new red Guilia now!
I got to admit passing those 911Turbo S and 911 GTS cars was really fun!! I don't think they wanted to see me pass them but eventually they let me. And I actually toyed with them at first as I could've passed them a lot sooner. After the session a couple of the Porsche drivers came up to me and they were hella impressed with our Giulia. Nice people as I have found most Porsche drivers are.

Here's some more videos. Full session videos so kind of long but you can fast forward to whatever car you want to see. Sorry about the rattling noise I'm not sure what that was there's no rattling in the car so must've been the video mount.

And here's something interesting. When I took Tory for a ride my gas tank was at 1/4 and when we went over some elevations which caused the cars rear tires to go into the air a bit it must have made the low gas supply to trigger an engine light and put the car into limp mode. I tried it a second time after I clear the code and it did the same thing in the exact same spot at the track. Never did that earlier in the day so it must've been because of the low gas so don't track hard unless you have at least 1/3 of a tank of gas.
At the end of this short video you can hear the car going to limp mode.
