I've plowed quite a few cones in my day, but now that you mention it, there were cone calls on my previous two runs. Maybe I've just been lucky so far.

Since we run at Fort Myers regularly, we get a lot of practice shifting. :lol:

This was my first thought as well. Probably needs to use more trailbraking, especially coming from a FWD, which is typically set up so that you don't use much trailbraking.

Yeah, normally I would be, but I didn't want to spend close to $500 on something that I may only do once. I haven't done a track day since around 2006, just felt like giving it a try in the new car.

It would if the brakes had a lot of heat in them, which they don't. Our typical venue in this area is long and narrow, so basically slalom up, turn around, slalom back. Only one heavy braking zone...

I haven't experienced brake fade at an autocross, but I have noticed that stock pads require a LOT of pressure to stop at the end of a run and even then they don't engage ABS.

Let's see, my first track day was with Chin at Sebring in 2002 and was $300. Looks like they're now $325, so a bit less than 10% increase in 12 years.
