Suggestion
Be sure tire pressures are ok that is if you adjusted the pressures for track you adjust the pressures to street pressures and no tire is down from a slow leak from possibly picking up something at the track or the pit area.
Leading evidence: 'Adjust pressures' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Adjust pressures' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Be sure to check the INSIDE of your rears - that's wear they wear the most, and you can't really see it unless you get down on the ground to take a look.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

First track day of the year yesterday. 996 performed great and as always I had some nice humbling opportunities to point-by kids in Acuras, S2000s, Subis, etc. (this was a non-PCA event) Even had a Honda SEDAN go by. Still wonder who was driving that!
Aside from a good cleaning, now wondering what I can do post track-day to ensure everything is A-OK? Is there anything in particular you all would recommend? Maybe just revisit the same items from tech-sheet?
Thanks --
tires,brakes,fluids etc...and check if anything is preventing the go pedal from going all the way down...............................................A HONDA SEDAN ?........did you leave the emergency brake on ?
Check all vital fluids.
Check brake pad/rotor wear and condition.
Check tire condition.
Be sure tire pressures are ok that is if you adjusted the pressures for track you adjust the pressures to street pressures and no tire is down from a slow leak from possibly picking up something at the track or the pit area.
If you took anything out of the car like the spare and the tool kit that all are back in the car. Be sure if you still use security lug bolts the socket that fits them is back in the car where it belongs.
Some of the newer Hondas make close to 300HP on a V6. I imagine with a little suspension work, you could surprise a few folks at the track. Still not sure I'd admit to it, though.
Be sure to check the INSIDE of your rears - that's wear they wear the most, and you can't really see it unless you get down on the ground to take a look.
If you haven't flushed your brake fluid, you ought to do so...too much water in the brake fluid can give you the nastiest surprise of all on track day once it boils into steam in the brake lines.
Haha glad you went to a track day but you're perpetuating the stereotype of slow drivers in fast cars! People get so caught up in "winning" a track day it's ridiculous. I can't tell you how many people I have seen go off track "red misting" trying to keep up with someone in front of them. I did it once in the 944!
It's normally the guys in the junk-looking old miatas and whatnot that are the fastest guys because they spend all of their budget on seat time.
I've seen a Diesel Datsun Maxima pass some Porsches during a DE. Didn't happen to me of course (
) but I have witnessed it.
I figure as long as you're having fun and learning who cares who is passing you.
Having a Honda myself and having owned a few hot rodded Honduh's in the past, I can tell you they are formidable track machines when modified. I wouldn't doubt if that sedan was running some hybrid KA24 setup or turbo configuration. With the light weight of these cars(think tin can), the power to ratio is pretty favorable even if they are 30-80hp down vs. the 996. The thing is, you can literally track prepare a Honduh with all the goodies and still be less than half of what a 996 costs stock, including the car itself.
So basically what I'm saying is don't feel bad about it. The track both road/drag are great places to be humbled imo. Now if you were driving a bonafide GT3 on the other hand... I'd have to personally fly over there and slap you silly. j/k
To echo what Knfeparty said the joke amongst a lot of club racers is "slow guys drive fast cars and fast guys drive slow cars". I started off tracking a Miata with nothing but upgraded tires and suspension. I loved getting point bys from a GTR, Lambo, and quite a few vettes. A lot to be said taking a slow car 10/10ths opposed to taking a fast car maybe 6 or 7.
You're lucky as those exotic car owners are the ones with the biggest egos and they think as long as they can stay ahead of you on the straights, you don't deserve a point by if your in a lower class car. I find this a lot with beginners with no prior instructions.
Driver skill generally trumps horsepower. I used to get passed on track by Subaru STIs driven by better drivers. A few years later, I'm passing posers driving McLarens, Ferraris, Ariel Atoms and yes, GT3s.
Amen. On track for the first time less than a year ago so can only hope to improve.
Definitely not worried at this point about who's passing me or vice versa. The Honda sedan was just a perfect commentary on my own lack of skill ...
Appreciate the suggestions on things to check. Should be out to track again in Feb. or March latest.
Yep. On DEs, ive had to point by BMW SUVs and Miatas driven by better drivers. But I've also been pointed by by Vettes and Mustangs with twice my HP.
I first saw this phenomena in motorcycle racing. There was always some guy on a 125 two stroke that killed guys on high HP Ducatis, MV Agustas because they were so slow in the corners.
