    HPR lap times calculated

    Hey everyone. Sorry for the late reply. I posted this and then got busy and didn't get back here to check the comments. Thanks for the feedback. DrumrBoy, I think it was a combination of things. I was getting in the groove and trying to catch up with someone that was going fast (which I...

    My first track experience

    Actually I was just thinking if I damage my car I would just fix it myself and not tell my insurance company. I wasn't thinking about damaging another persons car. I agree with you Allen, I do this for fun and want to be as careful as possible which is why I got an instructor to teach me how to...

    My first track experience

    I'm glad you liked it. It was a blast! I can't afford to replace it if I wreck it either but I figure you only live once!

    My first track experience

    I agree about the food vendor. I had a cheeseburger too and it was really good. I haven't heard of the NASA event at HPR. I was going to go volunteer at the Pikes Peak race in Fountain, CO but maybe I'll do both. Can you tell me more info about it? I'm not familiar with NASA either. Is that...

    My first track experience

    Thanks for all the comments guys! I had a blast and you're right DrumrBoy it is addicting and I do want more! :drive: The track was High Plains Raceway in Byers, CO. It was a great track and I agree with you guys it is nice how open it is. When I spun out I was really glad there wasn't...

    question about installing new brake pads

    Well I'm back from my trip to the track and it was a blast! You are so right Allan about how to drive this beast. Although my instructor is a Miata racer, fortunately he's been racing for 30 years and has driven multiple different cars including a Corvette ZR1 and another Viper and told me we...

    question about installing new brake pads

    Thanks I definitely will. My instructors name is Ted Winning. Has anyone here heard of him? I looked him up and he was on 9 news website as an amateur race car driver and instructor. He said we will be driving with the windows down in case I roll the car they can get me out without having to...

    question about installing new brake pads

    I agree and I'm going to take it on the track but after paying for taxes and registration on this car I need to re-lock and load on my finances to afford the cost of racing it (and an instructor as I'm pretty new to having a car like this) so in the meantime the EBC reds are good for driving it...

    question about installing new brake pads

    So TowDawg are you saying take the existing pads off sandpaper them a little then put them back on and not use the new EBC red stuff brake pads?

    question about installing new brake pads

    They don't seem to be grooved too bad. Are you saying the new pads will "give up metal on the rotors"?

    question about installing new brake pads

    I have EBC red stuff brake pads and new rotors on my front wheels which I received from Jon B. at Parts Rack. Jon B. also sent me another pair of pads for the rear wheels and said I didn't need to machine or replace my rotors to replace the pads but from what I read on EBC's website they say...
