Weaseled my way into a trackday with some rich guys at the new track. This is the closest thing I have to something trackday suitable right now so I'll show you guys how I track prep a shitbox. The crown vic would have been OK too, but I think this with some sticky tires will be better. Speaking of sticky tires:
I actually have a bunch of track experience, both trackdays and actual racing in Chumpcar. Crowning moment was driving our teams beater CRX racecar at Laguna Seca a few years ago.
Plan of attack for getting this car ready is:
Sticky tires
New rotors and brake pads that won't fade
Brake flush so fluid doesn't boil
Get as much negative camber as I can for free in the front end
Track alignment (I like 0 toe in the rear, slidey)
Needs a battery tie down
Needs an intercooler pump, died at some point this winter
