Another 170i Track Day This Sunday

Post by GregsBuddy »

Hola,
I will be doing my second track day with the 170i this Sunday.
The new NCY front brake will be tested on track. So far, on the road, it's about the same as the OE brake. Maybe requiring less force to stop well. The track will heat the rotor much more than road riding. Hopefully, much of the fade will be gone.

Hola,
I decided to not attend the lapping day due to the likelihood of riding on at least a partially wet track. No thanks when I like to push pretty hard on the brakes and corners. It's far less fun when you must daintily ride through corners!

I was wondering why we hadn't heard from you!

I'm pretty disappointed to have to take a pass on the lapping day.
However, I really needed the time to work on my shifter kart for a race at Laguna Seca in a few weeks. I was able to get quite a bit done with it on Sunday.
