Here's the video. I tried to clean it up but there's only a few spots you can actually make out my line. Next time though.

I'm glad this came up btw. I have aftermarket wheels (if that makes a difference) and after my second session there were a half dozen lugs that needed a quarter turn to get back to torque spec. Thanks!!

Don't do that if you are coming right off track or it hasn't had sufficient time to cool down. You will stretch the studs if you tighten them while the car is hot.

Looks like around 1:40 lap times....solid for a first effort.

Thanks a lot. I think I'd have done better if I was more confident with the brakes. But like we talked about they were originals with akebono pads.

Another good day at the track. Brand new rotors (oem from advanced auto) and carbo tech pads made a massive difference. $500 was worth every penny
