I agree with Dousan....you can make Balcony as technical as you want. There's a few lines through there that you really need to work hard to dial in. For instance...hit back turn 2nd gear, dori to clip rear bumper on keyhole upshift to 3rd and start into the sweeper. Coming into the grid in 3rd gear from the bullring is INSANE also! Just for Men approved.

non stop lappiing almost!! long ass ebrae slides in the back side by side have to havefun hit most angle u can on entry transition fast or hold it deep and transition late work on gliding against the wall (hay bales) ride edge of track ride inside of track u can test a lot of stuff on the car make it a mini comp for yousrelf thats how you'll be able tplace your car ANYWHERE u want when u drive at other tracks because if u fuck up at balcony..maybe a busted 1/4panel on the haybales??? and its grat place to work tandem like i said me and flybert practice there a lot and igot a ton of time w/ BH there too fun as hell. depends how you look at it make th most of every track day. |

Yea Balcony is the ultimate training/practice/tandem/gangstur line/fun course, lots of formula d guys practice on it too so dont think there isnt stuff to learn from it. The question is will you be able to learn from all it has to offer? Aaron gave me a taste of tandem there last event, and that taste was sweet. Time to appease the sweet tooth, more tandem action!!!

lol... drifters wearing thongs now?
balcony is so technical if you know how to use it.. not even funny! go blast the front straight top 3rd with 2 swings. manly ebrake and drop kick to 2nd and up shift to 3rd.. clip it and swing it early transition. cause the only way to clear that transition early is to get on the gas and lock up for a quick sec. oh wait, don't forget to get back on the gas to get grip and pull you back in. otherwise we'd be rearranging haybales after that. you gotta think outside the box! see you guys there... |

Every single time I drive Balcony, I learn something new, or learn how to do something better.
I just laugh when people say that this is a stupid track. get real.

tight ... but i will give it another try with my S13 though and maybe try some things that Mr. Aaron has shoved in my face cuz the AE86 just doesnt have enough power to trie diff lines ... i get lucky if i get enough speed at entry just to clear the loop lol

nah u can try different stuff
i drove my friends SOHC w/ full interior aruond teh track and its still fun as hell just more challenging! but its stil radical ive driven BH's pos 3cylinder DOHC around w/ a front bumper under the car and it was the most fun i ever had there. even oru friends from Japan drove our cars and had fun there (minus the heat) depends how u look at it? low power? drift like Lance K in the corolla and you'll be drifitng like a luntatic w/ fast and crazy entries and stuff. power only affects you if u look at it 'i have no power' type of person u can do it. |
