One more thing, don't get bent out of shape about suspension! Most people think they need coilovers to get on track and it's a huge misconception. Stiffer suspension is going to make the car react quicker meaning you as the driver will have to react quicker. Think about saving a car when it starts to oversteer at the limit 🤔. A softer suspension will be more forgiving and docile at the limit. Stickier rubber means more body roll, hence why you want to increase spingrate and roll stiffness. This will aid keeping the contact patch of the tire on the ground as the suspension articulates over uneven surfaces and bumps. It will also help put power down on corner exit. It's a balancing act and we can go on all day about suspension setup and tire compounds. For your first track day it's not necessary and will probably benefit you more as a driver to work with something more docile when exploring grip limits. Be safe out there and have fun! Cheers, Quinn 🍻
The more you know. Great message!
What about a racing seat?
Fantastic as always 👏👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Headed to NYST this weekend. Glad I found this video. Great info
Glad it was helpful!
I here you man. I want to track my Fd but afraid of it getting crashed. I can drive it at 75 percent of my abilities but I cant control other obstacles. Great video
Good to do a bolt check from time to time too. Obviously the wheels as well.
Yup!
I have my pen and paper trying to write all this down...
you have all this in a pdf .. ?
Good advice thankyou chaps...:)

Don't forget that legit track day events offer track insurance. An agreed upon value will allow you to receive a check in case you total your car. It may be $500 for a weekend or whatever but this goes for cars from $5k to $500k...price is usually the same. Your car insurance will not only not cover it, they'll probably drop you.
I'd prefer to not crash :)
@@TheSlipAngle Somebody might crash into you because it's their first time out and you told them to change their brakes and practice how to use them but they didn't listen and BOOM, t-boned upon corner entry 😂
Thanks for a quick track day tips vid. About to go next weekend, not my first but more tips is always good. Coming from you guys would be pretty valid too haha
Keep up the good work, love this channel!
Thank you! Have fun and be safe!
Thank you so much for making this video! I got a 93' NA6 Miata as my first car about a year and a half ago. Its mostly stock (Basic brake upgrades, rollbar, wheels/tires). I took it on track once and loved it. Now I'm going to buy my buddie's civic as a daily so i don't have to worry as much about making a mistake on track while trying to learn better car control and performance driving. My goal for 2021 is to get as much seat time as possible. (Also I really need some sort of bucket seat b/c I get absolutely thrown around in my stock seats.)
Its all good advice, i still havent been to a track lol. Your s2k undercarriage is so clean 😍
130k and counting baby :)
@@TheSlipAngle oh boy, im creeping up quick. Im gonna hit 90k in a few weeks
Very well said! I think you covered all the bases except for maybe one thing that we always fall short on... try and get more than a couple hours of sleep before a track day! 🤪
you say that like you know how to
@@dennisgaughan5717 wish I did
Damn those frame rails are perfect. You know the car hasn't been owned by a Chris Rudnik haha
lol oh my
Looking forward to our annual Nutmeg day. Hope you and the crew will be there. I hear there are some changes going on up there!
Can't wait!
which video is the clip at 7:13 from?
From Matchew's private collection
Hey Quin, any particular reason that you like the cloth steering wheel over leather?
I like the look and feel of it better over leather
Super guilty about not doing fluid changes often enough. /Looks at brake fluid on shelf...
It almost bit me once! Change it :)
Bringing your car back home in one piece with slightly less tire and brake pad material is the the trophy everyone should be aiming for.
Agreed!
@@TheSlipAngle Had an idea, since you seemed to take over the search engine optimization for "slip angle", could you do a video on what the concept of slip angle of tires is, and how racers/drivers utilize it to drive a tire to it's absolute grip limit for speed/lap times?
There are some decent theory videos and iracing videos out there, but I feel like you'd do a better job (and kinda owe it to us with the channel name hah).
1. Brake Pads
2. Brake Fluid
3. Tires
Everything else gravy...
