Kaden followed me around on one of the final laps, I was trying to conserve tires before they finally let go. I wish I had remembered to film more of my runs, most of the ones I did film I was on a really grippy rear tire and was having trouble linking the course. Next time I'll be running more boost, 4th gear will be nice.

He did not, despite my protest. However, I'm working on getting him to put on his stock wheels and hit the track at the next one, so I can have someone else on the track in a heavy car.

And for those who expressed disbelief that I got 29mpg when I started following the AE86 on the way to the track, here's my mpg for the way back from the track to my house, which was largely scenic instead of interstate with me in between the 86 and its support wagon.


And yes, I have calibrated it to make sure it's accurate.

Matt w - what kind of shutter speed do you use for Driftwater? My only previous motorsports photography experience is the Rolex 24 at Daytona, and those cars were apparently moving quite a bit faster because 1/250 was too fast for Driftwater.

I meant to be more selective in what I uploaded, but I got tired.
