Check your brake pads & rotors before leaving home. I tried to stretch the use of my rear brake pads down in Buttonwillow, and by the time I got home, my rear brakes sounded like @$$.
I did a total of 126 miles in one day on the track alone! That's about 40 laps!

The OEM Brembo calipers and pads will work for a few events, but at some point once you progress, you'll want a set of track pads for them.

Thunderhill backwards was a blast! We even got some rainy sessions to play in on Friday (which was really fun on treadless R-comps)
The Z Car Garage 350Z placed 2nd
