^ Whatcha trying to say, Pat?

 

Oh, look who thinks he's all 'Advanced' now.....

Pat, I'm sure it's another case of WMHM not having their manual records synchronized than anything else. My Miata friends are husband and wife, I'm sure they paid at the same time.

We're also bringing along our Boxster friend, who is a beginner but I don't see him on the list at all. I'm pretty sure though he's registered and paid. I don't let it bother me because WMHM's controlled disorganization seems to end up working out in the end.

chaos theory?

 

Oh don't bring Theoretical Mathematics into this discussion. It's already confusing enough to the corner workers when you put irrational numbers on your car.

 

I still have a spot in Intermediate for sale if anyone whats it.

If I don't sell it I might just get some cheap pads from autozone and take it somewhat easy out there.

 

Berner9,

I have several sets of old partially used fronts (mosty Hawk Blue and/or HT-10) for stock front calipers I can bring along.

I've converted my front brakes to Wilwood calipers and have no use for them. They vary in age, condition and I haven't kept them well-marked, but you and anyone else is welcome to them.

Come looking for the black 'Hello Kitty' car parked with a couple of Miatas for the brake pad grab bag. I have no spare rears, sorry.

i don't plan on pushing the envelope (beginner spot, first HPDE) or anything near it. just getting my feet wet.

will i be ok on OE pads/rotors/fluid?

i will be flushing the brake fluid before this event and would like to know if the switch to motul/super blue is necessary.

 

You should be ok, just take it easy on the brakes

 

You should be fine with OEM but I would go with superblue anyway. I don't know how much regular brake fluid is, but superblue can't be that much more and is fine to run on the street.

 

Jeggy- I'm in the same boat... I'm leaving my rotors alone. I've already put in Super Blue since I knew the brake fluid was 6 years old. The pad debate is still happening in my head. It is my first HPDE as well. If I learn fast and want to push the car hard I don't want to be limited by the pads. But it is tough to justify $$$ for track pads that will only get used once this year. So at the moment I'm planning to live with the limitations of OEM pads.

If you need a local source for Super blue, I got mine here:
Northstar Motorsports
$15 for the 1 liter can. 1 liter should be enough.
