Finally got the 911 to the track. First time on this track for me. Second time on a track at all. Last time in a spec miata. The 911 is bone stock with Hankook V12's. About 105 degrees F outside. The BMW is stock except for brakes, rims, and tires (Dunlops). Thanks Snort!

 

sure does look like a blast......well done.

track has lots of room to run...can't beat that.

 

great stuff, thx for posting.

how did the engine temp handle 105 ambient and how did the hankooks hold up? i think many of us have been waiting to get some reviews on those from the track...

 

I only have about 500 miles on the tires. They are slightly "greasy". That is probably expected from new tires that have that much rubber on them. I thought for a nice riding street tire, they did remarkably well on the track. They broke loose gradually and gave me fair warning of impending *** over tea kettle! The water temp stayed at exactly 175 all during the 20-30 minute sessions. The oil temp never got above 275. I can't wait to get to the track in some 75 degree weather (winter for us) and feel the difference in performance. The BMW had a Dunlop Z1's on it. They kept their grip a bit longer, but not by much. I would buy the Hankooks again. They are a nice balance of quality, price, and performance.

 

Thanks. HHR is a nice facility with super nice folks running it. I recommend it to anybody in the area.

 

Looks like a great time and reminds me of south Texas. WHere exactly is the track?

 

Looks like Harris Hill Road, San Marcos, TX.

 

looks like a blast !

just to get it straight.. u were in the 911 infront followed/filmed by the m3, right?

 

To answer all questions. I was in the 911 out front. Harris Hill is in San Marcos TX just north of San Antonio. It was a blast! Not quite as smooth as MSR in Cresson. But still a nice track.
