Texas World Speedway
Anyone that participate in HPDE's at TWS? I am going this weekend with the Lone Star Porsche Club. You can also participate in events without being member of a car club. Could be fun to be more 86 cars on the track.
It is a great track! Maybe too fast for our cars to shine, but still tons of fun. http://www.texasworldspeedway.com/

I missed the boat on that event... Even worse, I missed the sign-in for the PCA Maverick Region event at MSR Cresson this weekend (closer to home)... I feel so bad!
Oh well... I have another event before the end of this month (TDE @ MSR Cresson), and then two next month (Including TDE @ TWS - October 13th / 14th... Followed by BMW CCA @ MSR Cresson the weekend after). Darn... I'm spending the remainder of my food money on these track events!

Had a blast with the BRZ on Texas World Speedway today. My best laps were at 2.11. I was surprised how good I hanged on to 911's. For reference I have 2.09 laps with a 997s, 2.08 laps with my E92 M3 and 2.05 with my Nissan GTR. The brakes stayed fade free. I had Ferodo DS2500 in front only. My Michelin Supersport startet to melt when I pushed hard in the end of a 20 minute session. I think it wise to keep the tire pressure at 38 psi or lower hot.

Good to know...
Boy, you own a nice collection of cars mentioned there. Yes, I've been adviced to try out the Ferodo DS2500's... May order them soon along with the rear pads (DS2500 rears not out for sale yet from what I was told). A local member once told me that he keeps his PSI at 45 cold... But I got intimidated from trying that out, lol... I try to stick around 35 cold, and then work along from that point... I may try out 38 like you do, just to get a feel next time...

45 psi cold ?! Maybe on a 45 sec Autocross. I gain 6-7 psi on the track on a warm day. When I came in with 40 psi the tires started to feel chewy. Next time I will start out with 32-34 psi cold tires.
