[QUOTE="7Lemons, post: 15632773, member: 184681"] Well my track night was a success in terms of my learning the track, my car, and my driving abilities! I was in the novice group with 22 others, and there were no instructors available to go with me in the car. I didn't really see many SCCA guys there in general (maybe 3 guys?). We did receive the after session briefing/coaching by the main SCCA coordinator there - which was helpful. Back to the brakes... I am very happy with how the Stoptech setup performed during the three sessions. I was getting on the brakes hard @ approx 125+mph entering the turns after the couple straights. At first I thought I felt fading and smelled the brakes after the first several laps but then realized they were not fading (it was my ABS pulsing from braking too a few times) and hung in there fine. There was a lot of dust and they smelled like they were really hot - but they seemed completely fine during the runs and after. Being a total novice I probably was not ultra aggressive on them, but I think I was on them harder than most in my group...? My car's curb weight (w/out me and gas) was around 3450 I believe.
