I've been itching for a track day to relax so when the opportunity for an open track day with S2K Takeover came up at NYST, I had to go. We only had 20 something cars so we had so much room to play around and try different things.

I was expect tons of laps so I started off taking it a bit easy but knowing that the afternoon temperatures were going to skyrocket, I wanted to make the most of the morning.

Unfortunately, one of the cars had their drain bolt back out and spilled a ton of oil on most of the track so we had about 2.5 hour delay between morning and afternoon. The heat made it pretty much impossible to put in quick lap times but I was very happy with how the Continental Force tires were consistent lap after lap even after 12 laps in one of my sessions. They're no the fastest thing out there but at least they're predictable and that counts for a lot.

I ended up putting in a meager 1:44.3 which is quite a bit off my personal best but I had such a blast. The heat did eventually get to me and I had to call it quits after I started to feel the onset of heat exhaustion and I didn't want to risk not being 100% mentally present on track.
