Default cars on a karting track at pacific raceways

Local track built a kart track recently, so a few locals (not z's, well there was one) decided to rent it out and drive our cars on it. I did it on my sister's STi (i'll do it on my z next time). It has an AEM intake, magnaflow exhaust, and tuned by MPS, put down 314/346 on their dyno. here are a couple of vids and a pic:

what you can do is take the height from the ground of two known points.
remove the shorter from the longer.. and that is going to be your arctan/"radius" being the radius the linear distance from the two points.

at that point you'll have the angle (in radiants)

The Karting track is a new surface that opened in spring this year. The road course is a cheese grater on tires. Also, this track is awesome in the rain. Full drift course with a kart...lol

yeah, but only cause it was so easy to get right up to the limit, every turn the tires were screaming for mercy. the track surface was awesome though, like WXSigns said, brand new track + kart track = perfect surface

yes, lol, my sister's car is better than mine in every way (objectively speaking) other than gas mileage (went camping this weekend, got only 21.6 mpg, did the exact same trip in my z last year and got 27). so yeah... i got the pansy car...
