  • This is my first time at New Jersey Motorsports Park Lightning. Practiced this track on the sim which helped sooo much when driving this track for the first time in real life. Easily the best track I've been to.

    hey man nice content you got on your channel very inspiring stuff, I've been doing autox on and off since 2018 and about to possible no my 1st track day next Etown road course, how was it there for you the the 1st time as well as the poconos and njmp, and do you do drive you car to and from the track? thanks a bunch and advance.

      @dadhats  Před 2 lety

      appreciate it! etown is a fantastic layout but the surface is honestly complete garbage lol. that being said it's like $125 for up to 5 sessions, it's the cheapest way to get track time hands down.
      Pocono is decent I'm just not in love with the layout they run at tnia, the brz is out of its element there.
      njmp lightning is god tier lol love that track so much

      @@dadhats awesome, I'm not sure if you can send contact info via CZcams but if you figure out how to contact me I'll try to set something up where you can come as my guest sometime. Amazing you had a while session to yourself, that's very rare.
      By the way, try clipping more of the turn 1 apex, ride the bump... It's definitely the fastest way around. Otherwise your line looks pretty good, bet you could get to the 1:18 area with a bit of practice. Great driving.

      I have thought about it! it may be tricky to place it on the video without blocking the view of the track or have to put the "mirror" somewhere weird like the bottom right

    Great video! I just posted a video of my first track day at Lightning as well in my 04 civic si. Your pace is fast. Mind watching my video and letting me know where I can approve? My best time was 1:30. I know the car has more time in it but I was kind of holding back because I had to drive back 2 hours in the car. Thoughts on my line?

    • @dadhats
      @dadhats  Před 2 lety +1

      appreciate it! only glanced at it but the obvious ones to me are turn one you can carry more speed and use the exit curbing, after the hill you need to track out, into the lightbulb you can probably brake later and maintain a higher speed thru there. there's a great youtube tutorial on this track called "njmp lightning walkthrough" I highly recommend it, it's what I learned from and built upon
