Post up pictures of your GTO on the track. Whether it be track days, autox, or and actual race. Interested in seeing what everyone has.

Where are your pics? Btw, what size tires are you running? I'm really tempted to get Koseis and some 255/40 all around.

Here are some pics of mine. New pics should be posted soon that include suspension and new wheels :)

I haven't gotten to he track yet. I am going to wait until I get a seat. I am running 245/45/17 all the way around with no rubbing front or rear. You could easily run 255's all the way around.

Ok, I can't really compete with Chris's amazing pics of his car, but here's the evolution of my car in autocross.

Body Roll Much? lol

2007 Autox Season - part 1 - ASA wheels, stock suspension





Blew this run, throwing my hand up in disappointment but for some reason I'm smiling. haha.



Good shot of the tread pattern on the RE-01R's...good tires!

2007 Autox Season - part 2 - Pedders GSR struts, Big Bore shocks, Hotchkis front swaybar, Magnaflow exhaust



















 
#19 · (Edited)
I said I had a ton of pictures...heh

2008 Autox Season - part 1 - Pedders Track II 3/8" drop front, 1/2" drop rear, Hotchkis sways front and rear, Rota P45's and Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1's











Good shot of the Dunlop Z1's...better tires!



I'm pretty sure I 3-wheeled the car for the first time here, mainly because I overshot the turn way too much, but the pointer cone is blocking the bottom of the tire. lol.

2008 Autox Season - part 2 - no new parts...yet





















That's all for now. I should have a couple more pics on Aug. 24th.

Very nice! I really want to get into SCCA autox next year. Currently, I just go to clubs like CVO (Chicago VW Org), Audi Club, Salt Creek Car Club, etc. Mostly smaller clubs. Some follow SCCA rules, but most vehicle specific ones have couple classes for the rest of the makes.

Here are results from last couple autoxes if you care.

Haha. Nice! I too drag raced for about 12 years. Now be honest, wouldn't you like to race 30+ cars instead of only one? How about your race lasting an hour instead of 12 seconds? Plus you could do 150+ mph instead of 108??? Doesn't that sound nice? :bootyshak :)

Last time I checked, this was the Road Racing section, not the Drag Racing section, Matt.

I say temporary ban for his shenanigans! j/k bud :gr_jest:

Yea, he's in American Sedan right now, I think.

Grattan Raceway, Belding, Mi. 7/07 This was before switching to track-only wheels/tires in my sig...









GingerMan Raceway, South Haven, Mi. 5/07 (pre-bodywork & suspension mods...)

These are at Grattan also, from 3 weekends ago. Quality isn't as good (my camera sucks...)

Nice wheels Smitty! What tire size and brand/type are you running?
 
#42 ·
Wheels: Kosei K1's in 17" x 8.5" +40mm, they're light for a 1pc cast econo-wheel @ < 17lbs each

Tires: Toyo RA1's in 255/40 @ 4 corners, allows tire rotation from trackday to trackday, less understeer and better throttle-steering...
