This saturday I have my first A/X. Garold has given me a few tips already for setup, but I'd like to solicit the rest of you for advice. The event is being held at a local airport, and promises a "huge" course, using one of the mile-long runways. Supposedly, the tarmac material is much more abrasive than typical streets or track surfaces. I'm used to driving on a road course (Putnam Park), and I know this will be different and need the car set up differently for optimal performance.
Tires - 205/60-15, I'll set them all to 35 PSI cold Suspension - I have adjustable Konis (red), and rear springs are 140#, fronts stock. Stock front sway bar, no rear bar. At the track, I have the shocks set at 1/4 turn up from full soft. I'm planning on setting to full hard for saturday. Brakes - fresh Motul, freshly bled. Hawk pads in good condition. 19mm m/c fwiw I have all my tools ready to go. I'll be there for the course walk. Is there anything that I've overlooked? |

You won't have much time for anything other then driving or working the course so don't worry about the car too much unless you need to. Try to have the car ready before you get there. More time to memorize the course! Take an instructor the first few times out. Look ahead. Here's some good reading from the club i belong to:
