First track day coming up, what should I expect from a stock car?

[Jerickson88]

I just showed up and ran. No issues.

I'm not prepping for a singular event, the cars role is going to be changing, and I'm crossing a mileage threshold where certain things need to be done anyways

BT TIME?!?!

Maybe next income tax season! I really want to get some time on the track, and an open car hauler. But big turbo, definitely if I plan to log time at bigger tracks, like Barbers.

RL-600, at least 50% on brakes, and for the $370, are the Federals a decent option?

I use the 215/40r17 Federal RS-RR tires as my daily. It's a great tire for the price. Is it an RE-71r?....no, but if your on here asking what to do for a track day, then you will never push the car hard enough to know the difference between the two. Great advice has been given so far....Brake fluid, pads, and tires. Your best "upgrade" will be a driver mod. More track time will help you more than a FMIC, or RE-71r's (at this point).

Well, it was a bust. My arrangement to pick up the kids after school fell thru, but they let will let me reschedule.

I am going to my first AutoX April 28th.

I was hoping to have a new fmic and ap3 by then, but the funding hasn't come thru yet.

I did do the ATE typ 200, and Motul 300.
