I agree with you completely.03'Darin said:When I read the storys about someone's excitement from their first track experience it always reminds me of mine. 15 years and LARGE PILES of money ago I still remember that day like yesterday.
venomous01 be prepared..... it's an addiction that you'll never break. lol One great thing about it is you won't have money for bad habbits. lol As stanger58 said.... the driver mod is the biggest mod. As I'm sure you realize it's not that your instructors "more stock" Cobra was faster, it's just what a more experienced driver can do.
Somebody may have already mentioned it but you should consider getting rid of those cross drilled rotors and going to a solid rotor. Slotted rotors are good but the cross drilled rotors are prone to premature cracking and failures. As your driving ability improves your parts wear will increase dramatically. You'll also want to go with a track specific pad that will handle more street than the HPS. Ideally you should use the cross drilled rotors and HPS pads for street use and keep the solid or slotted rotors and track pads for open tracking. You don't want to switch back and forth from track pads to street pads on the same rotors. Most pad material is not compatible and will cause your car to feel like the rotors are warped.

I'm pretty sure I missed the timeframe to sign up for this one as it looks to have filled up quickly. I will check into it though.racebronco2 said:My dif temps were running at 250*. Remember this is a slower then most open track event where most of the course is ran in second gear. There is one section where i was close to the top of 3rd ( 82mph). I will be attending bw on saturday.

The car as it sits right now is only driven on the weekends and I plan to do more open track events, but it won't be a track car solely. I actually plan on looking into another nice N/A cobra to specifically use for this purpose.
I just want to get more seat time and gradually get better at driving the car. I will definitely take everyones rotor suggestions into consideration.
Also I went with the HPS pads (front and rear) when I changed out the front and back rotors. I didn't want the next step up pad due to noise levels, b/c the car sees the street more then it does the track and I want to car to be civil.... to an extent.:burnout:
Definitely try to get to make one... it's a blast.YGOSLO said:I've always wanted to do this. Everytime the SVTOA comes through TX I'm out of state/country.
