Track day at Gainesville
It's not small. I was hitting 90mph. To be honest I go to the track to take corners not to go straight. So going 100 mph isn't important. Also the longer the straight away the worse on your brakes. I ran my car all day with my wildwood brakes on Hawk HP pads and had no issues.

I know a lot of boosted guys have cooling issues, It may be a blessing in disguise that you can't hit boost.
Right but if you are going into a slow corner on a straight away going 120-130 you brakes are going to get hotter then stopping from 80mph. Sorry I didn't completely explain myself. It's a mute point since this might be one of the only road courses we can run since the firm is acting this way

I am running a custom setup built by John at LHT.. I have custom cutouts in the front bumper for better cooling, and running an oil cooler as well behind one of them. Never had a cooling problem yet.. knock on wood.. and I have been to sebring in the car already as well. Now I also have aero and brake ducts to help from brake fade.
Blacknot: I am not worried about doing 100 in a straight line, my concern was if it is a small track that I just won't be in boost period, (hence why i don't auto cross) then its like driving a mac truck, tooling around. But it should be fine. you off all people should know that I built my car for the track to road race it.. so not worried about going fast straight, i would have built a drag car if i wanted that..
this place?
