GHOST1207 - watch your brakes, you're going to a track that has HARD braking zones and you are on pads that are worst then stock.

Just go how your car is, bring the extra pads just in case. Just be careful, going into T1 you are on the brakes hard. Have fun, don't over drive your self!

Thank you for the kind words of advice, in all honesty I'll probably be tip toeing everywhere just to get the feel lol.

How strict are they regarding tow points? Because my car currently does not have the crash bar in the front.

I'm doing Spring Mountain on the 16th , then Streets on the 29th.


More on the tow hook, if a car breaks down without a tow hook in place, safety will hook up to anything they need to for towing (Core support, intercooler piping , strut bar)

If you break and don't have a hook they'll probably just throw it on your sway bar or something solid under the car.

tech isn't a real tech, you fill out a piece of paper and give it to them.

If my front tires aren't here by tmrw, I won't be able to run at Willow Springs on Sat. Tire is completely bald in the very corner from camber wear, thread it about to show.
