I know I know, now I'm scrambling around trying to get the car ready lol. Let's see, new motor install - that'll take about 8 hours of solid wrenching.

I might have to bring the 2006 GT instead of the race car lol. Either way it'll be a blast! :thumbsup:

Yeah the '06 GT wouldn't be soo bad. Factory Warranty!

Speaking of GT's, last year there was an '05 maroon with ghost flames...are those folks coming again?

Regretfully my track budget has been blown by a stupid set of cheap PBR brake pads, and sadly I won't be able to make it.
Although virtually new, while doing a DE this last weekend at TWS, the PBR pads faded badly by turn 4 on my first warm up lap of the weekend, WTF!?:doubt: I had virtually no brakes for the rest of the day, and had to bleed the brakes to be sure that wasn't the problem. They smoked away the rest of the day not realy helping me slow down, and I kept an eye on the pads. What I didn't know is that the inner ones were getting much thinner than the outer ones. Early on in the last run on Saturday the inner PBRs must have gone away, but with the usual noise of tracking I could not hear it, my only clue being slightly better braking as the backing plates chewed up the rotors. :mad: When the PBRs were replaced by my old OEM ones, I saw just how much they had been used up, and how much of the backing plates had been milled off by the rotors. Surprisingly the OEMs did a much better job during Sunday even with chewed up Rotors, only fading towards the end of the runs. Goes without saying I'm appaled at how lousy these PBR performed (they are the middle offering, in their line), fading on turn 4 of the warm up lap!? They were touted as a high performance pad, and were cheap. I wasn't expecting the performance of my old Ferodo pads, but I was expecting performance that was OEM like or better. Even the much maligned OEM ones were head and shoulders better. Before I return to tracking I need a Stop Tech BBK, if for my own peace of mind, as approaching #8 at TWS w/out brakes is an eye opener. Moral, don't get cheap with safety equipment, specialy the brakes!!
Hopefully I will be able to track with y'all next year, as y'all run a top notch event.:thumbsup:

that guy was running HARD and getting some NICE 3-wheel action coming over the back "hump" of the track. He was fun to shoot....:D

Howdy all.

I'll be in the old slow paint-faded Taurus waving people to pass me.


I have an open faced helmet that is SA05. Will there be any problems with open faced helmets?

See you in a few weeks.

Thanks,
Mike

Wow, I see we got a sudden surge in new registrants including a Caymen, a uniquely colored Ford GT, another Cobra, a WRX, and another SHO! What a great turnout and what a great mix of cars!!

But we still have room for more drivers!
