He texted me at 7:30 this morning, about the new Amsoil in his tranny and how good it felt...

 

on the monticello wait list......just sayin'

 

Mine shifts fine with the AMS oil. Its been in there for just over 10k.

Nice!

 

its wait listed already!!

 

Excellent! Are they looking for more instructors, or would you need a cancellation for a spot?

 

I think they do need instructors... Thats what I was told by the guy running the event.

I think I'm going to order a set of EBC Yellows for the front brakes, they seem decent for track use and they fit in my budget. *waits for Chu's comments*

 

I actually emailed them about instructing for the event... didn't hear anything back though. The last SCCA PDX I did I requested an instructor (as I always do) and the guy I got was a complete tool... didn't have a clue and had actually never been on track before... I know I could do a WAY better job than that guy. It was with a different region though, so I'm sure you guys will be fine

 

to quote Andy: SMH

 

^^It could go either way. They are looking for instructors.

I wish I would have signed up earlier

 

I know what you suggested, but thats not really fitting in my budget right now. From what I've read the Yellows are fine for track use... Have you used them?

 

I used EBC's on my VERY first track day years ago... don't remember whether they were yellows or not, but I do remember they sucked a fatt one. I cooked my pads in the beginner group, not the fluid, the pads.

post up the info for them if you have it...

 

nvm, I found it:

EBC YellowStuff: 300-1750F, intermediate to high torque

I must have been using EBC green stuff... you should be fine with the yellows. Only concern would be how the will be with your rears. what are you running in the back again?

 

Here you go...

Taken from SmikeEvo's Brake Rotor, Pad, Line, Fluid, and Duct Thread.

Track Pads
These are pads that are only meant to be run on the track. Again, they should never be taken out on the street. They take some temperature to work right, without that temperature they might not work or have much stopping bite.

Two levels to track pads - street tires and r-comp/slicked type tires. Generally, stickier tires (r-comps) means you will need more brake due to the increased levels of grip the tires will give you. They can and will overpower your pads. Also, more power equals more speed means the same ruling as r-comps.

How much power? I can give myself as a reference. I make 340whpish, traps 116-117 in the quarter mile. I would say I am at the edge of street tire type pads (HT10's) – more on why in a bit. If you make over 350whp or trap higher than 120 in the quarter mile - moving to more aggressive pads might be a good idea.

Acceptable track only pads - Street tires
Hawk HT10: 300-1300F, intermediate to high torque
Hawk HT14: 300-1400F, high torque
Porterfield R4: 100-1200F (100-900F optimal), .52 drag coefficient
Racing Brake ET700: 100-1200F, intermediate torque
Racing Brake ET800: 100-1400F, intermediate to high torque
Performance Friction 97's: 167-2000F, intermediate to high torque
EBC YellowStuff: 300-1750F, intermediate to high torque
