That fender looks like a hit and run to me....if you know what I mean.

Fowlman with the right front off the ground...
When I was younger I had a SCCA competition license and ran a formula Vee, so now it feels just like getting on the bicycle again. Except I'm no Paul Newman

I was really happy with my tires, the hotter they got the better they stuck. A sway bar is going to pull it all together.
Doing it again sounds good to me.

I don't know how he got people to move over for us, it didn't look like he was riding their butts.

I think I also want to add a big Azz tranny cooler though. I didn't heat up, but I don't want to fry the trans either.
Any suggestions.?

You know whats weird...
I wasn't on my brakes THAT often when we were driving around, but now my Hawk HPS's are squeeling like a ****.
My rotors look torn up. There are some pretty fat grooves in em (not just from the drive on Sat) ... and there is a weird LIP forming at the top of the rotor. Almost like the pads aren't covering all the area they should.
I think its time for a new set of GOOD rotors. Been thinking of that Stoptech/Nismo combo that Jason@Performance has. Two front Stoptech Rotors, Nismo Pads, and SS Brake Lines for ~$300

That seems like a good price for a set of front rotors etc. Do the backs run about the same? I think I would get both ends.

It is a good deal and I will probably get the drilled ones, but I want to wear out the stock ones first. I have to check them. Doing burnouts at the drags is probably raising hell with the back ones, so it might not be long.

That's caused by rotor wear and is natural. The pad rides below the edge of the rotor.

The grove on the top is approaching about 1/16" inch, and there are several grooves in the center circles of the rotor that are deep enough to be visible from about 5 feet away.
Not too worried, since its just an annoyance. I can still stop like a ****. Im just giving myself more excuses to spend money
