Sorry for the interruption......I'm coming out of lurk mode. Wondering if anyone has a set of stock Enkei's they'd be interested in selling.

If you do, let me know a price and when I could pick them up. TIA.

Let me rephrase what I had said before... If you're not greasing your pads, the DS2500s will be louder than the Brembos... If you ARE greasing your pads (which, genereally, everyone is. The only reason I haven't was because I didn't have any on hand after switching the Cobalts out after track racing) then the DS2500s are a good deal quieter than the Brembos. The ONLY drawback to the DS2500s to the stock ones if you grease them is the high amount of brownish pinkish blackish dust.
Well you didn't pick up my sarcasim. I didn't think it was that hard.

The pad would not cause your foot to hit the floor while braking. Overheating of the brake fluid would cause this. If the pad was gone then you would get a solid pedal but no bite. I overheating pad can overheat the brake fluid but normally you notice the pad going then the pedal to the floor.

Either one is not a nice thing to experience when you are relying on your brakes.

Jake and I will both be there. They may extend this into Fri ... in which case, we'll be there on Fri too!

NASA pricing is good. I've heard complaints from friends about the size of the run groups at NASA events. Given the 4.5 miles of track at MMP ... I'm not overly concerned.

For ALL those lurkers that keep sending me PMs, rather than posting in the thread:

1. There is NO fee. The $200 post was a joke.
2. Anyone is welcome to attend regardless of what they drive. I drive a hon-DUH, not an EVO.
3. Don't send me PMs, just post in the forum. I almost NEVER check my PMs ... unless whacky hair dude posts "You've got PM" in the thread, so I know to check.

Here's the plan and the confirmed list ...

1-Apr-2006 Group Drive and MMP track tour!
- Meet at 9 AM at the Cracker Barrel by the E-Center
- Breakfast and chat until 10:30 AM
- Drive out to MMP for the tour!

59 people confirmed

Confirmed for breakfast & drive:

S2000 guys confirmed
- afetsman + 1
- work + 1
- greenzj + 1
- flexer + 7
- S2K1 + 1
- Mr. Bread loaf aka Euclid + 1
- jhondas2 + 1
- DEEZ + 1
- Rocketman (spidale5) + 1
- Utah + 1

Evo guys confirmed:
- Kodiak + 1
- erickponce + 2
- bullfrg + 2
- liberty2000rs + 1
- jcnel_evo8 + 1
- VIIImylunch
- scott88vr6
- gear head
- Steve + 1
- sethrichmond
- jid2
- Utah_EVO + 1
- bagice

UR SCCA confirmed:
- Bimmer + 1 (at least for breakfast)
- Adamant
- Lexbomb +1
- DarkGift +1
- shoble + 1
- Meet Kolby + 1
- Ryan + 1

I talked with the folks at MMP today. It is unlikely that we will be able to get a driving tour of the track. It's still a construction site. I told 'em we'll take what we can get.

Mr. Talon? will you be joining us!?

No, Wendover is fun. We just don't want to chew up tires on the rough concrete out there ... rather save 'em for track. I once corded a brand new set of Kumho Victoracers in one test-n-tune out at Wendover.
