so i just finished a speed ventures event on streets of willow. my car has a stock single cam and modified suspension. i ran an unofficial time of 1:36.2. just curious what kind of times other people are running, similar setups or faster cars.

Speedventures Friday events are the best!
Towards the end of the day there's usually hardly any traffic at all.
At one of the better sessions, I shared a track with 1 other Mini-Cooper than had very similar times.

1:36 is actually great, esp if it's your first time out on that track.
First timers get pretty intimitaded by the chicanes & other corners.
It's my 2nd fav track afer Buttonwillow, b/c it's so technical.
I like it b/c I do well without having the need to have lots of power.

My best time so far is 1:30:9x CCW config.
This was on my 08 evo w/ dunlop z1's & ferodo 2500 pads.
otherwise stock.

I ran 1:36:xx CW config on a 95 civic hb, some 4 yrs ago.
came w/ an untuned lsvtec, helical lsd, & some suspension goodies w/out alignment, & hawk hp+ pads.
I blew the engine, but I felt I could have refined the times considerably w/ practice & tuning of the suspension.

92 Miata hardtop CW config, I ran around 1:37:xx some 10 yrs ago
Car had 205/50 Kumho MX tires and hawk hp+ pads

I'd love to take my S14 there.
so far I'm just comfy doing autoX with it.
The 240 is so far the least forgiving & most twitchy car I've ever driven.

mrchomponthis · 11-12-2009, 02:08 AM

i was driving the white coupe, running low 1:34's first time at the track. We ran street backwards using the skid pad, everything felt great besides all the mad understeer!!!

Man. 321k mi. And it made it through three track days? That is a well taken care-of motor.

thats how motors are supposed to last. I have put my motor through 14 2-day track events (2000 hard track miles)since mid last year when i did my rebuild. It is still going strong.

that was a great time! how was the temperature that day? I ran a 1:36.502 last time when it was 105 degrees outside while overheating all day on my stock dohc KA24.

*racepar1* · 11-12-2009, 03:15 PM

I ran a 1:32.2 last june or july with speedtrials and it was crazy hot.

s-13 fastback
stock dohc ka
255/40/17 falken azenis

I missed the time attack last year and am going to miss it again this year. I am confident that I can run well into the 1:20's once I get the car back together though, on street tires... My first time ever at any real track event was at SOW clockwise and I ran a 1:34.2 that day in my s-13.

mrchomponthis · 11-12-2009, 09:45 PM

I would really like to dice around with you at streets one day, if i can keep up lol. i was running derriza star spec in the rear 245/40/17, amazing tires and some 225/45/17 avon slicks that were just junk with all the oversteer. After 3 or 4 laps. looking to get the car out a few more times before i get into the miata spec racing.

wasn't to bad actually, i didn't actually see what the temp was outside, but it wasn't stupid hot. I like going to events this time of year because it's so much cooler out there.

alright I'm going to shoot for 1:34s next time I go, seems like an attainable goal for me.

I'm running the same sizes with star specs on all 4, and I must agree, these tires are awesome, I like them more than 615s

speedventures is doing another (3-day?) 'Streets' event on the weekend of Dec 5th.
pretty cheap for $140/day.

Speedventures > Speedtrials USA imo.

i would have to agree with you there. but i was going to share my car with my brother, and he doesnt get back from school until dec 10.

*brokeAs240sx* · 11-17-2009, 01:03 PM

i ran my first time @ SoW during summer CCW. Only managed about a 1:41, so you are doing great! I have modifications up the yin-yang, hahaha. My car should easily be in the very low 1:30's - the driver just needs to get used to fast courses.

I didn't have the balls to go all out on the 2 big sweepers & was taking it easy that day. Of course, I'd like to blame it on my off course excursion the week or two before at a time trial event that scared the be-jebus out of me.

I'm coming back to SoW next month for a CW day.
