Quote: You gotta try the ST-41 in the front it's like throwing out an anchor. Looks to be going into turn 5 in the pics also at the end of a 145 MPH straight but with more braking, how did you like the kink?
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!

Quote: I heard an 03 cobra wrecked too. I saw pictures on another forum, sad about those vettes.
It may have, I left early on Sunday, it sucked seeing all those cars get messed up

Quote: looks like you had some fun out there...
I love Road America

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.
