The only complain I have from the Hawk pads I have is the amount of brake dust they cause. It's a light brown color too...not black. It's kind of wierd but it washes off fairly easy.

I've mulled around getting a set of track rotors too. That way, my everyday rotors won't get eaten up as quickly. They should be able to be changed out fairly easily while the pads are being changed.

allright, now I am getting psyched out for this, less than two weeks. Today I ordered my pyrometer, more tapes for the digi cam, a cool wide angle lens for better peripheral vision, now lets hit the track.

The wide angle lens is one specifically for my Sony Camcorder. I looked up the cam on Sony's website, to find the right specs, and look at available lenses, then ordered it from B&H Photo video, b/c they are a lot less expensive than anywhere else. I gotta spend money on the track, not the pipe. The lens was less than 30 bucks, it is a .6 magnification. So it should allow me to get a better peripheral view of the track, instead of the real estate right in front of the car.

I'd be interested to use that pyrometer on the exhaust and engine as well to see what temperatures we run on different parts of the car. Be interesting to see if stock or RB products change the temperature.

It can be used on brake rotors, track surface, tires, and to see if you need more cowbell, but we all know, "you can never have to much cowbell!"

from the awful waffle website, there are three, about a couple miles from each other.
EDIT: the link redirects, to the whole f'n state of alabama, tons of help.
and all not too far from the Hampton Inn.

Good Morning Guys!
I know the Hampton Inn is where most will be staying Friday night; does anyone need a room mate? I just got Friday off so I'll be able to get there at a decent hour. Also, what are the track hours for our event?
