Mods:
Brake Pads - Project Mu HC+ 800s on the front only
ATE Super Blue Brake Fluid
Nothing else...
Overall, I had a great time at a nice beginner friendly track with a bunch of friends. I left the traction control on in the morning as it poured several times during early on. I also managed to get 6 20 minute sessions out of the event with no brake fade what so ever.
I can only hope to next visit some of the better known tracks in the Southeast region like Road Atlanta, Atlanta Motorsports Park, Carolina Motorsports Park, and Roebling. I have been to several of these, but not as a driver.
Next Steps:
Step up to a better high performance tire compound such Michelin PSS, ZIIs, or BFG Rivals for AutoX / Track Duty.
Check out the video as well. I should have a second one up shortly with the GoPro mounted on the passenger side window.
My Advice:
Take the car out to the track and use it for what it was intended for if you get the chance!
