Yes

like i say im spent work is slow,and with trying to get the money together for my Silverstate race in May things are tough.I remember reading about that, was that after 24 hrs. of tracking, or every track day?

Most track events suggest switching to Dot 4, your Motul 600 that you got, and it not be older than 90 days. SS lines are a great upgrade as they will prevent flexing and cracking, usually only a problem in older cars, of the lines.

Stock pads are good but if you are going to do this more often I HIGHLY suggest switching your pads prior to the event to Carbotech XP-12 front and XP-8 rear and then switch back to your street pads for the street. It will take maybe an hour to do all 4 corners. You will have much better, deeper, stronger braking with these. You already mention you are a late/deep braker (sp?) and these will surely impress you. It is what I use on the track and they rock. Slotted rotors are another good investment. I use the DBA 4000's.

If you have not changed your Diff fluid at 1500 miles you should do it now. Redline makes a great synthetic for the diff.

Watching your video is pushing me closer to getting the harness bar, tank plates, harness' because you did not move in those turns. You looked very snug.

Just some tips from someone who has been there already and will be again.:biggrin1:

Wow! Gotta go to dinner for work but man that second video rocks especially when you passed the TT. I was literally chortling. And after that you were in the clear and sped up appreciably. Nice driving.

Thanks for posting all the vids man. They were pretty exciting to watch, and kinda had the feeling I was in the drivers seat.

Hopefully I will get the same opportunity at VIR or Summit point one day. Carry on!

Just catching up here and realized you may have damaged your car a bit. Is it just the scratches on the splitter/bumper section? If so, that doesn't look too bad. It could have been worse huh?
