Trying to find a 17" for his Ap2V2 OEM's was a challange as he wanted an aggressive tread design but also one that would grip the dusty road conditions of the "shoulders" sometimes encountered up at the Dragon.

I was checking over the car getting ready for the trip and I noticed the front pads are a tad more than 1/2 thin. They are hawk hps pads. Should I be concerned?

I think you should be fine. Zacksdad had mentioned leaving early Thursday so we could hit some roads thrusday before it gets dark. I know that im planning on doing some group drives myself and the poker run. The Dragon is right there and can be driven at any time. Some of the roads by Clayton are excellent to hit Thurs

The trek from Zhills up to Clayton is right at 8 hours, espicially if you are going solo. Depending from where you live, just add the additional time. You should arrive just after we finish up eating a late dinner. But, you be plenty ready for the Friday activities !!
