- Quite a warm day at the track (95 degrees F) so no pbs to be found! I did my best to stay with a wicked fast golf R and found plenty of other track battles.

Your videos are AMAZING. The time put in to making them is obvious and you’re one hell of a driver!
thank you dude!!
Ah yes
Nothing better than a good beer and 20 mins of pure driving
Awesome content man, love the videos and the driving, keep it up!
man you really putting the 86 to work bro, awesome driving! this video makes me miss mine.
I remember back when a few other cars would catch me once in a while. Good times!
Golf R can get around 250kw atw with a flash tune, good suspension and tires and it's pretty good to go. My friends has 415kw atw, bilstein clubsport suspension, upgraded adjustable control arms, swaybars, strut braces, flared guards and 255 semi slicks all round. Oh and a 7 speed TTRS gearbox. Very hard to catch on the track.
I'm always waiting for a new video. Love to see you keep up with more powerful cars. Definitely gives me some hope when I go to the track with my Civic.
Civics do pretty well, but I've seen a lot of overheating issues depending on generation. I would spend money on cooling, reliability, and brakes.
@@BlueVoodoo92 ight thanks for the heads up. I have an 08 Civic LX Sedan.
@@eliezergutierrez2472 maybe don’t then ahaha, bad car to track and kinda pointless
@@erikryan8663 your comment was pointless
You got her dialed in now brother. You are kicking ass out there 👍
thank u sir!
Nice videos man, you inspired me to try the "POV" cam, came out pretty good!
awesome man! just glanced thru it, looks much better!
Your videos are so damn fun to watch. Don’t know what it is… I don’t even own a BRZ/FRS etc. though I like them. Keep it up!
I think the appeal of them is that they're not powerful but they can beat a good number of cars because of their lightweight body and handling on corners. You should test drive them and see for yourself
Beautiful driving dude
Great driving !! An idea that would be cool to see is if you put a rear view camera to see how fast you leave them in the dust on the next corner after you past a car ;)
thanks! I actually got one! did some testing with it last week
Good driving 👍🏼
good stuff man!!!
Great driving sir 😎🤙
Was good fun last Wednesday. I was in the novice group (Blue gt350) but all the Audi drivers were driving with similar behavior to the one in your video. Every time there was a traffic jam it was one of the three audis in our group xD Being my first time out on a track I completely wrecked my back trying to be a hero out there...my car didn't break, but it definitely broke me. Hope to see you out there in September or at Englishtown and hope you chase down those TC gremlins with your tuner
yeaaa novice group is like kinda a cluster fuck lol. I tried to get out as quick as I could. I'm hoping to be on a new tune by then so fingers crossed it works out by Sept. I'm def going to njmp and Pocono next month maybe even etown if I can fit it in
@@dadhats that it is! Speaking of getting out...how long/what did you do to move out?
@@chrisstehm5328 can't remember how long it took but I just waited until I felt comfortable to move up. think I took like maybe 5 track days. is you're ready you're ready tho, don't gotta be fast just more aware of other drivers
the reverb of the brz sounds so good. I wish it had more power, but hey its a fun car nonetheless, golf r's are no slouches, they can be very fast, most of their power is distributed to the front even tough its awd.
Fun AF !
Been watching alot of your track videos lately. Registered for my first track day in VA. I would like to see your foot/pedal work if its possible to run a camera by the pedals! Awesome work! Keep at it.
thanks for watching! I have auto rev match so not too much to see tbh. I do have brake and throttle inputs on screen in my newer videos so you can see what's going on that way 👍
The only time a man with anime stickers has been valid, bro was flying and we like that
💀💀💀
Yes really enjoying your Vids, I would gander they have diffrent run groups and you and a few others could be moved up ? or next group up are serious hp track only cars ?
thanks! yea I could probably be moved up I've been planning on it 👍
i have a stage 2+ Golf R mk6 like that one with the DSG not the manual and its putting down 300+HP at all the wheels. that is factory engine and turbo just intake, intercooler, turboback.. they are very heavy though like 1500kg (3300lbs)...
let's go bestie !!!!!v
nice video!, did u think about to upgrade the power? maybe a waifu in the doors or hood give u +30hp!
Hey man been watching your videos, my home track is at Englishtown, I drifted there for many years but hung up my gloves about 2 years. Wanting to do this instead because I miss some sprinted legal driving. Anything really to prepare for or be worried about trying this out? Just looking to have some fun again.. thanks
nah man nothing to worry about really. if anything I'd throw in some dot4 brake fluid and make sure the car is good to go. maybe review the rules/flags/track layout if you wanna make sure you're ready 👍
At minimum, follow the tech inspection form provided by the sanctioning body for each event. This includes safety equipment requirements (helmet inlcuded) and vehicle safety requirements.
Beyond that, focusing on reliability (i.e. dependability, consistency) is probably the next most important priority. If you step in the brakes, will it slow the car down sufficiently and consistently in each brake zone? If the weight transfers from side-side or front-back, will the car be upset and unpredictable? Will the engine overheat after a couple laps?
How often do you do oil changes on your BRZ? I've started going to the track and my instincts are telling me to drop it after every weekend lol
I shoot for every 3k miles or 25hrs. I try to stick to this guide from csg
www.counterspacegarage.com/blog/toyota-86-subaru-brz/recommended-maintenance-guide-for-toyota-86-subaru-brz/
Have you ever thought about a supercharger? Or is it not really worth it on this engine? I've been reading a bit about modding the FA20 and it seems like apart from what you did with yours, the only other things you could really do to gain some decent power would be E85 and forced induction.
I wanted to turbo the car but it's hard to justify the price and hit to reliability when for a few grand more I could kswap it.
I may try e85 tho a 20hp bump without effecting reliability would be welcome
@@dadhats Right that makes sense. Not to mention all the supporting mods that would be needed in order for the engine to handle a turbo. e85 seems like a pretty solid way to make some decent gains.
Hey man think you could do a video run down of the car?
definitely! just gotta make some time for it
Great stuff! What are you using to get the speed, time, RPM etc to show up in the video? Many thanks!
thanks! that's race render. I have a whole video detailing how I setup track data if you're curious
@@dadhats Thanks! Just moved to NEPA so I hope to try out the local tracks soon!
I don’t have an OBD ECM. 1965 Mustang, so any suggestions for video overlay with my limitations? Thanks!
May I ask what app on the phone you are using to display your performance lap time delta?
racechrono! got a whole video on track data if you need more details
What track is this? I want to start tracking my cars, but most of them have pretty strict DB levels now.
this is nj motorsports park. I'm not sure if they even have that here but I nvr had any issues
Do you run an oil cooler? Any AOS or catch can? What oil grade do you use?
just the Jackson racing oil cooler. and 0w20
Nice driving! The Audi was dumb. The Golf R has to be at least stage 2 so high 300s in Hp I’m guessing
do you drive or trailer the car to and from the track?
no trailer yet I drive the car
Nice driving. What group do you usually hit up Njmp with?
thanks! typically I run with track night in america 👍
@@dadhats thanks. I have to give those a try. Is that advanced group or intermediate?
@@davidkaufman8951 this is intermediate. once I get the car sorted I'm planning to step up to advanced at some point
Do you have ig? I want to see what the car looks like
yep it's dadhatstm
What modifications are you running ?
all mods in the description 👍
yeah that golf R is pretty fast, I would expect it if it was a MK7 or 8 since those can easily get 400hp with a tune but pretty sure thats a mk6 and most definitely not stock
either way it was so ridiculous dude lol. I remember watching mighty car mods do a build series on one and the thing did pretty much everything you could want from a street car
@@dadhats yeah they are great street cars, also with the hatch you can throw a ton of shit back there. Its always fun to see cars that are much faster than ours, last track day I did someone had a c7 z06 and it was just comically fast how it just pulled buses on my car in the straights, looked like I was at a stand still
@@oficina_moomoo isn't it hahah. I had a similar experience with a zr1 last month and the thing snuck up in my mirrors so fast I didn't even realize he was there for a bit 🥴 oops lol
suggestion, stick your camera on the windshield at the top where your sun visor would be. watching helmet cam is getting to be a little dizzy. unless you're intentionally getting view of your steering wheel and shifter
it's intentional. trying to make it look as close to my pov as possible
@@dadhats ohh ok. It’s getting me a little dizzy watching it. I enjoy your content regardless.
how did you run with this time? was it "stacked on track" event?
no still track night in america. this footage is like a month old
@@dadhats Hey Im thinking about doing my first hpde event next month and was looking at track night in america. Would you recommend driving with them over other groups? Great driving out there by the way! 👍
@@Xaiborg that depends on your budget I suppose! tnia is cheap but doesn't offer in car instruction which is really useful for beginners. I think it's a good place to start tho
@@dadhats Thanks for the quick reply! Yeah that sounds like a good start for me, Im part of a racing team for the manufacturer I work for and Im a test driver so I've gotten a lot of track experience but very little limit driving. We have an instructor on our team so maybe Ill get a day or two in by myself and then see if he cam ride along. Thanks again, cheers!
@@Xaiborg sounds like it could be a good fit for you! enjoy it man!
pretty sure a few golf r models 0-60 in the upper 4s surely if he tuned it or modded it a bit he could get it pretty low 4.
modified I know they can be dumb fast. just never been around one in person before
@@dadhats from factory theyre 290bhp but they definitely feel much faster.
@@PR1NCETD0T this one had to be more like 350 - 400 whp. it seemed significantly faster in a straight line than most of the camaros I've driven with
@@dadhats Oh yeah an R with simple mods and a tune will beat an SS in the straights, needs a little more for a ZL1 tho.
A simple APR or Unitronic stage 1 tune on a MK7 Golf R DSG trans - I think that was a MK6 - can do mid 11’s in the 1/4. I would see one when I used to take my GTI to Zmax for summer tuning sessions. They’d beat Mustangs and Camaros all night long. I would always see them talk after a run. I heard one guy ask, “what the hell is in that thing!?”
Black Car driver literally waves you by at 13:42-13:43. his wave by technique wasn't good but he waved you by. White car probably missed it as well prior to your arrival.
didn't miss it, since we were in intermediate class we can only pass on the straights
Are you going to turbo your car in the future?
thought about it but don't trust subaru motors enough to turbo it lol. either engine swap or just sell it and try a more powerful car. we'll see how it goes the next couple years
So is the rule that a car that is faster in the straight (Audi) has to let a cat that is faster in the twisties pass?
it's not about who's faster in which section it's about who has the faster lap overall. if I'm catching him repeatedly even tho I'm slower on the straights I'm turning quicker laps overall and he should let me by
@@dadhats but isn't the onus on the car who is faster in the corners to find a way past...in the corners or brake points? Mercedes we're faster on the straight for quite some time while Redbull we're faster in the corners. Lewis had to find a way past. Just trying to understand the rules.
@@fidelquintela7128 oh no this isn't like f1 it's not a race. you're supposed to work together to give each other room since it's just for fun
you should come out to COTA sometime :)
that would be awesome but I'm sure my slow brz would be out of it's element at a big track like that 😂
Raced a golf in my 86 and lost 😂 but won against a is300 idk how
Well is300’s are dogshit slow, so
Lol
😂😂
@@benguini. it had catless headers and a tune revved up to 7300 rpm idk how many hp but lost to 170 whp 😂
God it sure is hot today let me floor it in my car
Hey onething that would make your channel better, post the track name
? it's in the title
You doing Pocono on 15?
yessir I'll be there
@@dadhats I'll see you there. Stop playing games with this intermediate business though haha
@@HeathenSwede lol I've been meaning to. I just register months in advance not sure how to change it
@@dadhats just send "jack track" an email. Nothing against anyone in intermediate but you're leaps and bounds ahead of these guys. People get intimidated because they thjng the class has something to do with the car rather than the driver. Ive run advanced scca and nasa de 4 with a stock 40 yr old volvo haha as long as your situational awareness is there and you point by when necessary you're good. Also adv points by and passes anywhere so you will get more practice making compromises and adjustments to your line. You'll have more fun
@@HeathenSwede oh ok cool good to know! I'll probably try to switch my next day at njmp....I have a few bugs to work out with the car and plan on being on a new tune soon so chilling in intermediate might be best for pocono
Both of you guys would be faster if you use all the track. Sometimes none of you guys are using all the track on track out and sometimes feet from the apex and then you can hear it in the next corner.
