OMG and I used to think Sonoma Raceway was bad before the repave. LOL!
$125 for that track is crazy lol
Now do Sebring for the bumps :')
LMAO my guy I had you on speakers @1:03
LOL 😭😭
You run harnesses a seat and roll cage?
nope it's def on the list tho
Really?!? How do you stay planted? I am sliding all over the place going way slower than you.
@@CheapTravelAnimated-tf2qq well on this track I def don't stay put lol but usually I just plant my left foot and that's good enough
LNF, basic 93 tune and downpipe can put them at 300 crank really easily. I bought a 2010 Cobalt SS/TC basically new back in 2011 from an old lady with 6,000 miles on it. Tossed on GMS1 for shits and giggles and made 300 crank. Ended up going with an S259et and supporting a couple years later and made 650whp with room to spare. Those engines are totally overlooked. Much like the LSJ when you go big turbo.
Incorrect. Ebay gt30 on a stock le5 and e85.
@@jamesjeronimo5963 I’m not saying this is their setup, I’m just saying the ROI for an LNF, which came in the GXP Soltice, is ridiculously good.
@@chrismonroe8417 I know. But that "solstice" is way faster than any lnf. I should know, it mine.
@@jamesjeronimo5963 Idk about that lol. I had a 2010 SS/TC S259et supporting mods on E85 and made well over 650whp… wish I still had it but it would outrun H/C/I C6Zs without an issue.
Nice of you to visit a third world country and patronize their tracks!
💀💀💀
id give them that entry fee money so they can fix some of those bumps jeez
Smh Etown use to be great. N then they got rid of their biggest money maker drag racing n Honda day. N instead do drifting which I can’t see bringing money in at all
I have a feeling it's the opposite! I'm pretty sure drifting brings in a ton of people, they use the old drag strip for formula drift now
have you done Palmer? it's one of my favorites
not yet but it's def on the list. I tried it briefly on the sim, the elevation looks insane!
Technically, that's a Sky, not a Solstice, but whatevs. They can be very fast with surprisingly few modifications. My Solstice GXP was faster than my LS3 C6 - up until the first shift. Unfortunately, the first shift in the Solstice is at about 25mph, after which all bets are off. Great fun on a track, though.
ngl I completely forgot Saturn existed. didn't even know they made a rebadged solstice 😅
Trying a Rally track I see lmao
Bro why haven’t they done any sort of roadwork on this track? It’s ridiculous
pretty sure it's bc they don't have or want to spend the money unfortunately. it's brutal
@@dadhats I mean on one hand the poor road quality is probably what makes it so cheap, but on the other hand you run the risk of just destroying your ride if you make the mistake of going to wide and hitting them potholes lol
A few sections were repaved and if I recall correctly, it was mostly paid for by Xtreme Xperience on the sections of the track that they use.
NGL this track looks miserable.
extremely 😂
Used to love going to this track, but have recently stopped. Last time I went the bumps bent a wheel and destroyed my fenders / fender liners. Kinda sad how it's deteriorating over the years.
damn that's rough 😭 tbh I'll only go back if they repave it
Hey! If you don’t mind me asking what have you done for preventative maintenance on your car? Oil cooler, a oil baffle? Want to take my 14 Brz to the track but have heard too many horror stories. Thanks!
just an oil cooler! oc is def mandatory and from my experience no baffle is needed. only other issue I've run into were my coilpacks failing prematurely due to heat and that's a known issue on 13 and 14s
@@dadhats Thank you!
Funny enough I was at an SCCA autocross at Metlife last week and a guy there in a Mini told me to check this place out. I'm kinda terrified of destroying my wheels though...
I've been here a bunch on 2 different sets of wheels and never had a problem! just look out for the potholes 😂
@@dadhats Might try out the Oct 27th event then!
That’s why they call it “Mustang the str8s”
Hi :D love ur videos
1:40 WHAT A SAVEEE BROO😮 i shit my self for u😂
So I too am looking for a tow rig to tow my Camaro. REALLY want a sequoia but only 2012ish ones are in my price range. I know they are dead reliable but eventually rust gets the best of everything. If you don’t mind me asking how does the frame look rust wise?
Never mind you addressed it at the end! I think you made a great decision. The rust on the frame doesn’t seem too bad imo. You should get a decent amount of years of service out of this.
dont forget to make a video of your first reverse tow :)
Hey man, love your helmet pov, how do you have your camera set up? What camera are you using? Are you not using Dragy anymore?
thanks! I took a GoPro sticky mount to my forehead and used a j hook buckle mount to get the camera as close to my eyes as possible. you could check out bossboss racings visor clip for a more elegant solution too. dragy hasn't released their obd2 port reader yet so it won't work for my videos unfortunately! I still use it as a backup when needed tho
@@dadhats thanks for the reply! I will check that out thanks. Was thinking about picking up the Dragy after watching one of your other videos. Dont want to really be spending 1k on a Catalyst. Thanks again 👍
@@danbe2284 I have no complaints about the dragy I'd say go for it 👌
I'm looking at GX460/470 right now, and I'm probably going to stick with Toyota since I'm not a big fan of the barn door. Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure the the Sequoia is more like the larger LX, while the GX is a luxury 4Runner, which puts the Land Cruiser in a odd location in the lineup. Sequoia seems more comparable to the LX in my eyes, but that demands way more of a premium. Solid pickup for a tow pig; the only thing you really need to "modernize" the interior is a headunit that supports Apple Carplay.
yep think you're spot on! the Sequoia and LX share the same engine but pretty sure it's a different chassis. I took a look at those but they're like 25k lol
I’ve had a 2011 for the past 6 years. Aside from being a gas hog, it’s the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. Runs beautifully, tows like a dream, awesome family and pet hauler. So comfy on long road trips. A champ in the snow. Just the best. Enjoy!
that's awesome! glad to hear it treated you right 🙌
When I started towing to the track, my times went down because I didn’t have that fear of needing to drive the car back home in the back of my mind. Happy for you!
nice! that's def something that plagues my mind at tracks that are 4+ hrs away from home
Moby can stretch out now

probably quicker 0-60 than my brz 💀
How’d you mount your camera? Chin portion of helmet…?
I took a GoPro sticky mount to my forehead and used a j hook buckle mount to get the camera as close to my eyes as possible. you could check out bossboss racings visor clip for a more elegant solution too 👍
What’s the setup for the camera? I currently have my go pro chin mounted since I also ride a motorcycle, but in the car it’s just a screen full of steering wheel!
yup I tried that route too lol. I took a GoPro sticky mount to my forehead and used a j hook buckle mount to get the camera as close to my eyes as possible. you could check out bossboss racings visor clip for a more elegant solution too 👍
@@dadhats awesome I’ll give that a try! Thanks!
I heard they’re releasing a Toyota Sasquatch. It’ll be double the Sequoia in every aspect. But you’ll never find one.
😂😂
Good option, I ended up going with a TDI Touareg but this seems like a better option in some aspects.
oooh that's a good pick too. diesel right? I'd be curious to know what u think pros/cons of both are
@@dadhats From watching your video, I think the advantages of the Touareg is the diesel engine for towing. I average 17-19MPG while towing my camaro in an open trailer at 70-75mph. Without the trailer I get 31 highway and 27 in the city average. The downside to the touareg compared to your car is that it does tend to sag a little in the rear with the trailer and the seats don't fold down flat(almost but not really). You have much more room in the inside and more comfort creatures. Touareg is more sporty and economical. Your car is more comfortable and bigger. My touareg doesnt have air suspension. But I got mine with 118k miles for $12k. It's been a great tow vehicle for almost 3 years now. I'm about to cross 160k miles.
@@SpyderRacing wow extremely jealous of that fuel efficiency, I'm expecting 8-10mpg from what I've read 💀 that's pretty solid dude! I never looked at the German stuff just bc they're supposedly a lot less reliable, but sounds like you've been putting it thru it's paces 👌
My dad bought a 2012 Mercedes ML350 3.0 diesel with the intent to tow a small car with it but compared to the “full size” segment even with a 6500 lb rating it’s not great to tow with. I went with a Infiniti qx80 rated at 8500 lbs and with the touring package it has load leveling rear air bags.
I was looking over the summer for one of these to trailer my brz. Couldn’t find one that wasn’t rusted out in Wisconsin. Ended up with an F150.
I don't blame you at all, it's actually crazy how bad the rust gets on these!
I had a Sequoia and an open trailer as my first tow rig. You are on the right path.
hell yea glad to hear it 👌
That's a really nice truck.
thanks man! rly happy with it 🙌
Towing to the track is sweet. One step closer to making the BRZ full race car 😂
yup! just one less excuse not to do it right? 😅
Miata be like HI FRIEND :D
The Mustang was actually going to let him pass you can see that Mustang driver is actually trying to learn while the Corvette driver is just kind of being a dick that has nothing to do with the cars either that's the people
Hey just wondering I just got the same atx20 battery for my 86 I also track it but boosted it so I have some gauges and on bags (yes I’m on bags and track and yes they feel fine to anyone who wants to say otherwise) but did you upgrade your alternator ? Seems like I have a power cut when I give it some gas at low rpm’s (also going coils a friend wants the bags of that really is the issue)
that's weird I've never experienced that, I haven't had to touch the alternator yet. I also used to track my car on bags btw lol
Love these vids. What mode do you use when tracking. Can’t find a good answer. Just VSC Sport? Press and Hold VSC?
thanks man! I do what's considered the legal dance aka tc all the way off
youre the reason im getting an frs lol
hell yea 👌
What do you have done to your engine? Any oiling upgrades? I just spent 3k on an engine and it arrived with rod knock...
nope nothing but bolt ons and e85! sorry to hear that :/
I was heart broken, waited 2 years and was told the engine was good and obviously it wasn't... Been thinking of just swapping it, but that's a few more years of saving money while I pay for a vehicle I can't drive. @@dadhats
hopefully I have my car together soon and I'll be out there getting passed by you 🤣
With all that, I must say, good driving.
Apex later on turn 5, hitting it too early makes you track out earlier than you should, aim to track out fully by the second rumble strips after turn 5
those miatas are a MENACE of track days. Menace I say!
Nice driving. What phone mount is that?
thanks! ram mount x grip I think it's called. highly recommend 👍
