Rain tried to keep me away (again) but we were able to get some runs in this afternoon.

Based on what I ran in my previous car (very well setup 2014 Focus ST), which were consistent 1:45's I was thinking getting into the high 1:30's a successful outing for my first time in the car. Continued to improve my times as I clicked off laps eventually ending up with a 1:39.1. The best part is there is SO much room for improvement that will come with more seat time. If you watch the video you’ll notice several areas where I could have pushed the car more. If I get my braking zones down I think massive improvements are in order. Especially with the addition of my 18 inch CCW TS12's & Hoosier H7's on order.

Ran in track mode with traction control on. First time out so I wanted to take it easy. Will try it with it off next time as I did notice getting out of corners were sluggish at times.

How in the world did you find a track day with so little traffic?

perks of rural Nebraska I guess. Originally got cancelled but after it cleared up they decided to open the track up at 1pm, so that affected the turnout.

But traffic hasn’t really been a big issue during member days unless theres a car club there as well.
