Ive never heard of the ST-41's, are they that much better than the ST-43's? If so, WOW!! And yes, I love the Kink, its such a crazy/fun corner!

Canada corner

ST41 – The best high energy input racing material available. Maintains high mu level at extremely high temperatures without sacrificing good wear – both pad and rotor. Needs some heat to work well.

ST42 – Lower mu than ST 41 and ST 43. Extremely stable average and in stop output over a wide temperature range. Has been very successful when used on the rear in conjunction with 41 on the front. Best high-temperature wear of all out materials.

ST43 – Friction level and wear rate between ST41 and ST42. Stability is not quite as good as 42 but better than 41. Should be an excellent open wheel formula. ST38 – Slightly lower mu than ST42. Wear still not as good as ST41. Good Performance over broad temperature range with minimal rotor wear. Successful in a broad range of racing series.


My favorite turn.

Canada F-Body.

I was playing tag with this guy in the AM then he pulled this in Canada and went off in 3 up to the axles. Wrong guy to play with but it was fun.




OOPS who put that wall there? Custom white front end.

Nice pics! I love Road America - truly one of the country's best road courses. I was there for the ALMS race this year and it was simply amazing. I will run my car there next year...

Sad to hear about the GT3 and 'Vettes though I can't imagine how much fun that would be either way...what was the cost?

It really is, it was esp. beautiful this fall!! For a 2 day event I paid $350 I think, can't remember. Whatever the cost, it was worth it.

Nice! How much track time did you get each day?

By the way, that latest set of pictures is painful...two of my favorite cars currently produced mangled
