Everyone said I shouldn't be braking so hard. Well I let the car cool down and then took it for a second session brakes were ok, so I finished the day, went home and put motul in, after that everything was alright. Learned a lot of new stuff and pretty much the limits of the evo (after Derek took me for a spin in group 3, by the way he beat his time with me - from 1:46 to 1:42)After that instructor (Colin Barta) told me that with my ****ty tires and brakes I learned the limits of my car. Once the new tires and brakes go in I can do better. he signed me off after a first run on Sun, bu still ran with me whole sunday. Even thought we were not supposed to run for time my first session's best lap was 2:14, and the best lap which was right after driving with Derek was 1:55 (all of the lap were under 2:00) With good tires and brakes, and more practice I should do much better.
P.S Bobby you're in quite a surprise if you're taking your evo for group one. My first thought were that my evo has got way too much power for me. With your evo - OMG!
After the brakes thing was taken care of I felt much more comfortable with the track and a car - BTW my tires are toast (the all season ones, I didn't take volks and kdw's)
I got hooked for sure. I will be there in June and planning on going to Beaver run and Nelson Ledges before that
BTW guys I want beer, it was a long and hard weekend, let's meet up!
sounds like it was alot of fun! hopefully I can get in on one of these this year!
...my car should be ready to rock as of may 2nd

That happened in my first session, I thought I was going to **** my pants and I thought I was done tracking. I've got cool instructor who is a hard core racer, he was pushing me and my car to the limit. For the first session I though I was going to crash and siruously thought tracking is not for me (especially wih the brak situation) going 90 mph and no brakes is not fun Everyone said I shouldn't be braking so hard.

I've run mine for 5 days now and they're doing pretty well for a street tire.
Better pads (probably Hawk)
SS brake line (BFG
)Motul 600 (which have already)
Thinking of putting slicks on my
wheels (good idea?)Better rotors maybe
Rear sway (might not be this month)
Riding in Derek's car was insane (acidandroid) Going 140 to 90 in a like a sec, wow
Oh by the way, went down to Dragway 42 on Fri. Crazy night they had over 250 cars there, did only 2 runs in 3 hours. Ran 12.88 with like 1.9 ft and then ran 12.72 with 1.8ft. Gotta work on it, I know I can do much better, but it was the busiest night they ever had. If weather will be good, I plan on going down tomorrow. No more Fri., Sat pr Sun. out there, I wanna run not wait
