Mid-Ohio Sports car course and Blackhawk Farms Raceway in my Black Series

Took a road trip out to the midwest last week to try out two new tracks for me.

Did Blackhawk Farms in South Beloit, IL first. Decently fun track, literally no elevation changes, but a couple really fun sections. Here is one of the sessions from that day

After that, went to Mid Ohio Sports Car Course in Mansfield, OH. Probably the best track i have ever done, slightly more enjoyable than Monticello in NY. Posting my last session of the day, along with the best lap of the day for me. I'd say not bad for a very lightly modified car not even on R-Compound tires, and my first time on that track.

Well done! Did you happen to notice what your oil temps get up to on track?

Never saw higher than 260, and was generally in the 50's...the cooling on the black series really is fantastic.

Very entertaining JB!! Thanks for sharing again.
When you travel do you haul your car on a trailer or drive it to the track?

This was the first time I've actually done a track that was further than about 4 hours away(there are several in my area). I always drive the car there, though for this trip I went back and forth about getting a trailer and towing the car there, because of the distance. In the end I opted against it, but next year I plan on definitely getting a trailer, mainly for towing my gtr(its more of a track car now and getting relatively uncomfortable on long drives), but also for this if its a track that's far away.
