Kudos Bro. Very few folks ever drive at speed on a track. Even few CTR owners make it. You are part of a small group :) Keep at it. Keep learning and having fun. Look forward to seeing how you do at your next track weekend.
I suggest Streets of Willows 1/6 mile track for a few sessions and take Big Willow next. People say Big Willow is beginner friendly, but it is not. What helped me is - Proper track tires and brake pads. The CTR is already a great car but you need grip and confidence at high speed corning. Best of luck.
how do i sign up for this, can you explain. i went on their website , but dont seem to understand wich event applys to me. im a first timer wanting to track my gr corolla
First sign up to be a member online, join nasa tab, create an account, pay membership, once done you can check your local region for events, like in California there’s SoCal and NorCal regions, select a date at a racetrack your interested in joining, I would select HPDE 1 2-day event to get the full experience of the weekend. Once all is done, all that’s left is to read the rule book and prep your car the best you can, let me know how that goes for you and which date/location you pick, might see you there.
@@MTOTW_Tour these events are through NASA racing, depending on your local region or what track your willing to travel to, depends on how often these events are held. But usually 1-2 times a month.
@@MTOTW_Tour yeah it depends on who shows up that day, but if needing room just hang back and create some distance in between your other co drivers to have a little more room to play with.
I’m at 51 track gays now. I remember my first day I was nervous and scared as shit. Now going to the track and wining 7 podiums on time attack, I’m at the point of just fine tuning my CTR. Congrats for having the balls to do this. We are a small group.
@@IchiiMedia Just keep going and learn from your mistakes on the track. I’m from NorCal and my on my YT page I posted all my PB on the track. I do plan on going to SoCal soon. I hope to run into you.
@@IchiiMedia I recommend Hankook RS-4 for tires. For brake pads, I use Project MU Club Brake Pads and Paragon two piece slotted rotors. Also do cooling upgrades first by getting a big radiator. CTR overheats so much.
It was a dope weekend! Definitely all the people we met made the event truly exceptional. I’m liking forward to the next one.
You already know! 💯😎👍

Is this race every year? Is so whats it called?

@@IchiiMedia are there usually that many cars? Or do you just lucky

im still yet to take my 9th gen civic to willow springs, just too nervoussss idk it would be very fun tho
It’s not all that bad, classic nostalgia track with so much history, definitely worth a stop eventually 👍

That’s awesome! 👏 I’m only at 3 track days under my belt so far, definitely wanna double that number this year 💯

@@IchiiMedia My best advice is to focus on tires, suspension and brakes. Power doesn’t mean anything until you learn how to handle your CTR first.
@@XGen_23 absolutely right, brake upgrade episode coming soon. But yeah, definitely wanna get a dedicated track wheel & tire setup soon

Appreciate you! 🙏
