I'm likely going to the first one in January, Jan 12th
UR GUNNA MISS THE FIRST SEBRING EVENT WITH CFR SCCA AUTO X THEN

You going to SCCA? I saw that and I'm debating which I'd rather go to. Just not sure I want to drive that far for an auto-x, 4 hours round trip for 5 mins in the car is hard to stomach lol

Holy crap. I've still got a ton of meat left on my HP+ after Sebring, they should last but I'm going to bring some stockers for the ride home. A friend is going and isn't planning to replace pads or brake fluid, I told him it was suicide - track looks hard on the brakes.

Are you talking about Mike with the RSX? The FIRM is brutal on brakes unless you got the discipline to come in and let them cool off. I accidentally stayed out for 42 minutes the first session. I kept waiting for the checkered flag but it never came lol

lol no, I'm hoping Mike has learned his lesson after Sebring. He's a friend of Mike's, has an Ap1.



You rack-a disciprine?

Yeah, I got tools and spare rotors. Thanks for the reminder, though, have to pick up an impact screwdriver before I go.

take the rotor screws out and leave them out, you don't need them and then you won't need to carry the impact driver anymore
