Track day with NASA at Nashville Super Speedway (NSS) - 2025-02-16
EVENT NOTES:
This was my free NASA track day which came with the Supra (lol). The morning started out 100% wet, cold and starting to dry. The high wind helped dry the pavement, but the temperature was simultaneously dropping fast. It was literally snowing (flurries) almost every session. I ran on some older Bridgestone's which actually held up quite well after they got some heat.
THIS LAP was not an absolute perfect lap, but I felt good about it as this was an impromptu track day and my first time at NSS (plus NOT a competition environment). I never fully optimized Turn 1 (coming off the banking) very well. Considering the wet morning, I had trust issues putting 4 wheels on the fresh paint and basically set an artificial boundary for myself. I also simply never bothered with 5th gear.
