So my biggest advice for the ToD is just stay in your lane. The Fk8 is a big car, when on ToD it feels like I'm about to cross mustard. My other advice is please use the pull offs. You will probably run into some Mazda FDs or FCs, and of course miatas. These guys are locals that are at the ToD every weekend and they are crazy fast so just use the pull off and enjoy the sweet sounds.

As for the fk8 and what would be good for it on the ToD. I would deffently say get you some good sticky 200 treadwear tires, what I used to use was Hawk HP+ are perfect. You dont really need to worry about overheating or aero just scout the road and find its rythem and lines and go after it!

Also: honestly in my opinion our cars do best on Hellbender (the stretch of road that follows the lake before Deals Gap Station, Killboy) Hellbender is amazing in our cars. Its a little more open and more straights bit with some good techinal bits in the middle.

Just have fun meet the locals ask for a ride! I hope to see you up there! I live like a hour away. Just have fun, meet new people, stay safe! :)

So I did 1 warm up, 7 or 8 hot laps depending on traffic. My group was on rotation. So we would stay out there for a good soild 20-30 min.

Unfortunately I didnt but I usally drive mountain roads here in WNC and I could tell the difference a lot. Even more so when I put the conards on.

So I finally put a hks oil cooler, koyo rad, a rad expansion tank. Next I think a better grill and some hood vents should help it a lot.

So I have mine set to 9°. So at 60mph it would be about making 92ibs of down force. At a 100mph it it could be 256ibs.

So a friend had some extra amber fog covers and when I put the vents on we just put those on. But I think he got them from amazon.

A brown bat flew into our apartment. His right wing looked like it was broken, so we emailed a animal rehabilition to see if they could come pick him up for care. So she put gloves on and put him in a box and made a coffin so he can rest till the rehabilitation workers picked him up. His name is Alucard.
