Tire piles can't keep a P10 down, just spun rod bearings two days after Convention!

Happynole,
what brake setup are you running? Was it adequate?

I was at CMP in SC in June and i found that XP10's work wonders when you have tires that have good grip (i run 140 treadwear)

Black Gee is a 95 G20t with 297k miles. Motor was swapped to a RR motor before I bought her. Popcharger and SSAC with stock exhaust & cat. She has the AGX's over stock springs that came on the Panda when I bought it from Brian. Currently running on the 16x7 Tecnocasts with 205/40-16 BFG Comp 2's that were on Panda this year's convention.

She has stock P10 brakes with the cross drilled rotors that were also previously on the Panda when I bought it from Brian. Fluid was flushed with Motul 600 prior to the event. Front pads were about 50% prior and rears were new, brake lines are still original. I had good pedal all day and never lost brakes. In fact @Kirru commented on how good they still felt. I think I might prefer non drilled rotors with actual track pads if I was to track this car again, but there was still enough brake for the power I've got with a basically stock drive train.

I ain't messing around this time. I plan on swapping in hawk blues @ the track. I got lucky it rained in OH. The ultimates wouldn't have cut it in the dry.

EARLY BIRD SPECIAL
Our challenge for this event is the track rental, which at $9000 all inclusive is substantial given we had no money to start with. The track management is working with us to split the cost up into 3 payments so that we can manage our finances. Thanks to those who already stepped up, we made our down payment and signed our contract. June 6th has now been secured. We have a second payment due first week of March 2013 and final payment due on June 1st. Those of us who do track days know we usually pay upwards of $250 for a day running with strangers. Our early bird offer is our attempt at keeping anyone (especially me) from having to go into their pockets to front this entire deposit. In talking with other organizers, our goal moving forward is to keep this a SR20 community event if there is any way possible. With that in mind, the early bird offer is going to be extended to March 31st.
$199 per person available until at least March 31, 2013!
We are going to cap run groups at 22. With 3 run groups each driver would have five (5) 20 minute sessions with 30 minutes of open track to end the day. We are looking at stopping at 60 total entries at this time, but do not want to exclude anyone. If we can sell all spots at $199 within the community it will be a great thing. If 50 entries are not received by April 1st, we open it up to the public at $225.
