Good driving with you guys again. Good to meet some of the first timers too. Had a blast as always. Too bad this trip is going to cost me new rear rotors and pads. Oh well, guys I'll just have to upgrade.

BTW...what was up with that white Accord coupe (when we got to Fremont)....

Yea- what a jackhole. At first I thought he did it because he thought we were going to slow in the fast lane. But we were going a decent speed. I think he wanted a piece but after Dave's mean cut right behind his bumper corrected his thinking. He backed way off.

Dennis- I'm upgrading to Stillen slotted rotors in the rear. My stock ones paid the price of driving 180 miles on metal to metal.

I think the StopTech 13" setup (the one Dave and I have) fits under 17's. But call StopTech to verify.

Not sure if Brembo fit under 17's. Not even sure about the StopTech's. But Dave and I were talking about it because I'm throwing around the idea of eventually getting some 17's with slicks. I think he had talked to someone who said you can run 17's and StopTech 13" kit (332mm). Call StopTech or PM JRitt.

Yes, 13's are supposed to fit the 17's, and the 14's require 18's.
Wish I could have joined you guys. I'll be there next time!

Performance Nissan has very good pricing on Stoptechs. Check CZP too.

Or you can support your local shop and buy them from StrictlyZ then have them installed at Stage Motorsports.

ok ok, I was too lazy to snap any hehee

the weather was perfect!! slightly on the hot side, but not bearable.
It was nice to see some new faces come out!! hopefully, we'll see you folks at the next event!!

bummer some of you got the worst with your brakes... always a good excuse to upgrade!!

Anyways, I'm gonna keep my eye open for the info on the Laguna Seca track day. I'll post more info if I find out more.

And yippie!!! I finally made it to B!! actually got kicked out of A cause I was lapping almost everyone...
next goal, be officially BS!!
