4-5 times a year, but I plan on going more frequently, now that I have brakes and tires
I have a friend that has stoptechs on his car and he is a track fiend:

alvin: nice pictures! Can't say I know what track that is, but looks like a lot of fun with those elevation changes. It's good to see people using the parts they buy for what they are meant for. Brakes and tires are the best and worst part about tracking. Fantastic to have proper sets of both to see the times just drop, but boy does the bill add up fast the more you do it.
I'm a big function over form guy and while I appreciate aesthetics, I don't know if I'd spend 5000+ on a BBK for daily driving activity. Not to mention the people putting on 12 piston fronts and 8 pistons rears w/ 15 inch rotors, but then having heavy wheels and regular tires. BBKs are only as good as the tires that can take that level of stopping power.
It's just funny to see so many flashy BBKs that seem like they never get to do what they are made for I guess. But I'm just assuming really.
