That is just you, because thats not how math works. 70 runs on a 1/2 pad = 35 runs on a full pad.
Although a well setup half pad can actually get you as long of lap times as full pad with the figure 8s.

Yeah I don't know how the math works in his world but 70 runs on a half pad usually equals 35 runs on a full pad as you said.
I look at it this way, $165 for the day, divide by 70 = $2.3 per run.
I found half pad is pretty decent sized course anyhow, easy to learn and perfect by the end of the day.

Heres som early day footage of me at the ridge. I was running around 2:10-2:13 for the footage that I got, but felt a little faster later in the day after the gopro died. I need to get more confident in using more of the track on exits and get my shift points a little better. Had a great day, and look forward to getting better. I cut the day short after the temp gauge climbed past half. The 350KM trip home can get you really shaky

Your E36 M3 doesn't support OBD2 yet, does it? If it does, it would be quite easy to tap into the OBD2 port to get an ECT (engine coolant temp) reading. That way, you wouldn't have to second guess how hot the car is running from just looking at the idiot gauge.

Yeah obd2 is 96+. Mine is a 98. My OBD2 reader only pulls codes and whatnot, but perhaps one that connects to my phone would be a nice addition for days like this.

I think I'd like to go to pacific with VCMC. Doing all 3 tracks near here is a great season IMO. Like everything else on earth though, its all dependent on time and money.

ugh feels like I'm spamming now but here's a vid with a lot of revscene guys including you westopher. wish you guys wouldn't point by so soon, it's fun to just drive behind people you know
i was shaking my head because we agreed on 3 laps before the yellow ITR pointed me by... he forgot

Funny you say that, because once I pointed you by I was actually having the best time I had all day. You were a lot of fun to try and keep up to. I don't want to be the guy holding anyone up either. I was stuck behind someone later in the day and it was getting really frustrating. I'm not the type to really get on someones ass either, so maybe I was going unnoticed.

ahh well I've done plenty of track days with strangers, it's a lot more fun to run with people you know or are familiar with. I don't mind running 2:10 for half the day, I actually did for about 3 heats. there's plenty of time to go for your hot lap, there's 7 heats that I only did 6 of anyways.

I figured it was the driver that was getting fatigued rather than the car, good choice to call it quits early as it got scorching hot much later.
Consider getting an E-fan and larger radiator with the upgraded water pump, does wonders for the E36!
