Mike said he was going to register last night. So glad the weather isn't going to be in the 90s.

Racing starts at noon so you have time to do both! If you can make it by 11:30 I will make sure you get teched and are ready to go. I could also put you in one of the last groups to give you more time.

My brake pads just shipped today - ordered them last week, looks like I wont be making it because they wont be here until next week now.

btw what is the max speed you hit on the wilson circuit? Not sure I want to attempt with my current brakes, if they fail on me I could have worse problems

No excuse Travis! I have a set of pads you can use. They are almost new, I have been trying out new pads so I took them off. I even have spare rear pads if needed.

I hit 3rd so I'd say 70-80 mph

I guess I could swap in just the fronts and be fine for Saturday.....my car shakes pretty bad at 70-80 mph due to the rotors being shot, I cant complain though I got 75k miles out of the stock rotors w/ being cut once.

That is pretty good mileage for those brembo rotors for sure. As soon as mine got the shakes that bad it was around 45k-50k miles and I just swapped them out. I know I could have had them turned and probably gotten another 10k or so out of them, but I was also swapping out the brake pads at the same time so I just did the entire job. Brembo brake pad dust is terrible.

No more money needed! Thanks Mike! Can't wait to see how your car runs. Should be a nice setup for this track. In fact we have slot of cars that should be good.

Look how many EVO's we have! that is awsome. It's going to be fun.
