I had a nice day at Summit Point last Thursday for a day of seat time.



Here are some pics.....









Now, one of the great equalizers when you are down on power from the 911 Turbo's and Vipers you run with is the ability to hang in the curves and the S2000's inherently great braking (when using non-stock pads and different fluid). Unfortunately sometimes ya overdo it.



Actually, as you can probably see, I should have replaced my rotors prior to the event. There are a ton of little fissures and the rotors were very worn down before I ever hit turn one.

Dead brakes not withstanding, it was a great day...enough to make it into Doug Hyashi & Pulp Racing's Honda Hall of Fame (ok...so nobody else has turned in a time at Summit).

WOHHH! I've never seen rotors cracked like that before.

When did you discover you had the problem - after a few laps on the track or after the event?? Did the car give you signals before or did you just see the cracks through the wheels?
