I didn't know they were even letting people go the opposite direction (clockwise) anymore. I was talking to one of the manager guys the last time I was there, forget his name, and he was telling me a story about the first day the track was open they had a guy spin in the mini-S (bottom left of the pic) and there wasn't enough run off room between the fence and the road and the guy nearly took out the fence posts. He said they were going to have to add some tires along the fence before going the opposite direction again, but not sure if that ever came to fruition.

Yeah, I am pretty sure they never run the reverse direction.

Pads came today. Two more finals and I can begin suiting up for the track.

Those are the same pads I bought for the last track day when you got my spot. I didn't get to use them then but I left them on hoping that we would do another soon and sure enough we are. Now I just have to swap over to my track wheels. I can't wait!!!

So you've been running them daily since? How do they do on the street, dusty as hell I assume?

They are great, no squeal but they are SUPER DUSTY. But as far as performance, the Hawk HPS's that I had on before would get mushy after a couple of hard breaking cycles and these are much better. That is one of the reasons that I had not changed back yet. And the dust doesn't bother me all that much anyways, especially with my track wheels on. BTW-Did you get my email address that I pm'ed to you??

That is good to hear. I was running Hawk HPSs in October and combined with dirty fluid, my brakes got soft quick. So I got another set of HPSs for the street and figured I'd try these for the track.

I did get your PM, I will be sending out an email most likely this weekend.

When do you guys usually change your brake fluids? I used to own a truck before this never really worried about that kind of stuff.
