This is very good info and hasn't been mentioned yet. Not setting the parking brake will provide even cooling on the rear rotors and prevent them from warping.

So did the OP chicken out?!

Thumbs up Great advice

I'm hopefully going to take my 350Z out on the new High Plains Raceway here in Colorado and found this thread.

Excellent advice! A moderator should take some of this info and sticky it for noobs like myself.

It's very very helpful!
