Rock's Rental????

Test and tune is only worth it if the track prep is excellent, the session is at least 8-10 hours, and down time is kept to a minimum. For that, $100 is not a terrible price. Anything less than that is hardly worth the effort, much less the time, the diesel to get there, and the unnecessary wear and tear on the car to learn very little. Yes, that especially applies to taking an extra day off of work to come to a "day before" test and tune.

Spend a day at you local track for a bracket race. One hundred or more cars, 99% with slicks, a maintained surface, all for a $50 buy in and a chance at around $1200 to win for your efforts. I call that a good test and tune with the most bang for your buck.

Every time I went to a local track T & T actually there were three times, (not counting T & T prior to a Divisional event) there were trucks there that looked like they just ran a mud race, shaking at the starting line and dropping crap all over the already "not quick well prepped" track.

So in those cases we just took an easy run to make sure everything worked as planned, and couldnt really trust wringing out the car, when it would be so easy to break something.

$40 for those runs wasn't too bad.

That's the best time to test. If you can make your junk work on that it will work on anything. We have one particular track we use just for this reason.

That's not the reason I go to test. I'm sure as Hell not going to pay the track for that, take a day out of the shop, buy diesel, buy race gas, and put wear and tear on the car to go spin the tires. I can do burn outs in the drive way if all I want to do is waste time and money.

I don't need to test for a poorly prepared track , and I should not have to tune my car for a unsafe track . It is the responsibility of the track to prepare the track with safety in mind as well as great traction . I have just about quit testing and tune as the last 40 or so times the track is junk for my car , maybe not junk for a bracket car , or maybe a clutch car who can slip the clutch ,but for the higher HP cars test and tune is a waste most of the time


All times are GMT -4. The time now is 04:27 PM.
