Ya, I was getting good at driving with brake fade...

The pads/rotors were ready to get tossed so I ordered the stoptechs a couple weeks before Z Nationals. They came in the day before or they would have been on. At Z Nationals did half the 2nd session with low pad/metal-to-metal contact. Was hoping to make it the whole day but I failed ... pretty much destroyed the rotors front and rear. Oddly enough it didn't bother me so much knowing I had new calipers/rotors/lines waiting for me at home.

Yes 7AM ET at Thorton Rd. Chickfila
If anyone does not want to meet at Chickfila or arrives late, meet at the track at 8AM CT

Hotter track temp means more tire wear right?

You'll get more grip, a little more wear, and swamp ***.

Check ur tire pressure as the day goes along...when it starts getting hot the pressure will increase a bunch...especially the right front!

We ran two weeks ago and it went from cool in the AM to HOT in the afternoon..several folks complained about the car getting loose, they found their tire pressure was near 50lbs....

It was great seeing all the familiar faces today and meeting some new ones. For those with pictures, the upload information is below. Just FTP whatever you want to share up and I'll move it to the web space and organize it.

I'm going to see if I can get video off of the HD camera in original resolution and try to upload. For now I'll throw in a few pics

Cool, I'll be at Radiohead tonight so the earliest I'll get some time to get things organized and up is sometime tomorrow. No rush...

Ok, ok. I'm lame... been so busy this week with work and getting ready to go out of town I haven't had a chance to get everything up. It's going up right now though. The URL:

Also, whoever took this one: DM_LittleTalledega_5-7-2008+037.jpg - can you upload the original highest rez shot you got?
