Wish I could, but I'll be in Atlanta for my cousins wedding. Guess I'll have to wait 'til 2011.
By the way, I ran TWS on stock pads in an IS350. Granted the IS350 has pretty good stock brakes, but the track is not too hard on the stoppers, especially if you run counter-clockwise.
Going into turn 1, coming off the banking is the only hard braking zone. Then you have the rest of the lap to let and a long straight to let them cool a bit. I love TWS. It's so fast and flowing. I'd have to rank it second to Eagles Canyon for Texas road courses. MSR Cresson is up there too.

Great Videos! Thanks for sharing..looking forward to making my own here in about 3 weeks!...
BTW was gonna ask..that last S turn into the long front straight...what is that transition from the infield track onto the banked part on the entrance and exit like? My amuse front with carbon splitter sit pretty damn low..kinda concerned about it!

I'd be more afraid about going in turn 1 for the splitter... btw, I don't sit high either...
*edit*
you're going to run clockwise... opposite as I was going... no fear for the splitter, be more careful with that "flush" look of your wheels... you might scrape a little

If you take a low line into there you should be ok. I prefer the low line as it gives me time for the suspension to settle before I get on the brakes. Not sure what line your instructor will teach you though. I seem to take a lower line through there than a lot of people.
