Cool.
Just be really careful to cool those down at the end of a session because drilled/slotted are more likely to crack/warp than solids.
Small hairline cracks are somewhat normal, but it is really to get out-of-flat if you don't cool them down.
The HT10 are way too abusive to the rotors for my taste and they don't really have much more torque than the + (and they take a bit longer to develop grab and the "bite" is kinda OEM).
I've never had the HP+ fade on me, even under conditions that set other pads I've tried on fire.

The HT10's have lasted much longer..and haven't caused any different rotor wear on my setup...in the long run they seem to be cheaper than the HP+ as well cause they last at least twice as long when they are really hot. They need a bit more heat in them than the HP+..but I haven't found that difficult

Even Firebird East caps its 110+ MPH "straight" with a carousel.
Dunno. My car is pretty heavy, too.

manifold pressure between 9/10 with that reading. Thats one thing I hate about trying to watch ALL the gauges--cant see them all(i have 6!) in a quick glance and a 3nd gear run is over pretty quick.
Nice numbers MM especially load.
I run carbontech xp 8's. They are not superexpensive, last a real long time ( I always get a year out of them), very rotor friendly, best modulating pad i have ever had(and I WILL trail brake) and you can run them on the street for a while after the event if you dont feel like swapping them out.
several members of our club ran hp+ for a while--maybe a year or 2. They did ok. All of those guys have moved up to time trial's and now have either the cobalts (not my favorite) or the newer hawks (pretty dog gone good)
No one runs drilled rotors on the front---at a major track and if you are using all your brakes--they will sooner or later crack. On the rear they are ok. Most of use either use the oem disc's (hard to beat) or the Racing Brake brand. We all have oem calipers.
Brakes only slow you down anyway!
Maybe brakes are sort of like suspension I guess---each driver has there own likings?

well its done
talk about one hell of a time.
Car Heaven--fully prepped GTR's, Farari, Lambo's. Porsches everywhere, open wheel cars,
one of the ugleist new camrao's i have ever seen--you should have seen what they did to that car--jesus.
I little wet weather. the 1st lap on a double yellow on the first session of the day(mine) and a STI spung out!! He is now famous Lol
My car was great--the 09 trans was absouluty fantastic, since the gear ratios are so much closer i didnt have to do much work in downshifting at all--no throttle blip was needed! That means a lot.
people couldnt believe the pull in 5th gear
Sorted suspension settings and tire pressures out Saturday and Sunday it was great.
We had a $250K RV to lie around in also--it was great.
I bet we had 15 drivers in total. No offs by anyone!!!
One member Silvereight(great guy and good friend) won TTD class at Road Atlanta with his DD rx8 2005 model. Thats really good at RA!
More to come and questions allowed.

i am turning about a 1:48 or so here
mount sucks and the microphone suxs---1st time using this set up
driving about 7/10's
i was leaving a lot of time on the track --only downshifted to 3nd on one part of the track etc etc
highest speed approx 135mph--plenty of time over 100--lowest speed about 70
i WAS NOT braking hard

Don was running the shaved and used 17" triple 8's 245's from last year i think.
A set of new a-6 hoosiers would get him around a little faster!
Scott the 09 trans and the pre 09 diff is the perfect combo for me.
Not only are 3-4-5 so much more usable but 6th is a real overdrive.
4-5th close ratios is were i am really impressed.
BUT THE MOST IMPRESSIVE PART OD THE 09 TRANS TO ME, is the downshifting.
Ratios are so close, very little to no throttle matching is required. That means one hell of a lot in a high speed to low speed turn. Several guys that rode with me (John, Lavent and Brent) said it was like a dang paddle shift car. The transition from a 130-135mph straight-a-way speed on the back part of RA to the 70 mph turn at 10A where i go from 6th to 4th was so effortless i had a hard time adjusting. It really was amazing.
Not only the ratios but the shift gate is wide enough that it makes it much more comfortable in having confidence in being in the gear you like. No more mixing up 3nd with 5th or 4th with 2nd:0!
New suspension --i have a set of the KW V-3's now. Took some dialing in to get it the way I want.
Will you be at Roebling?

sounds awesome, but I'm with Juan! pics!
Just tried to watch vid but the sound drove me crazy. Road Atlanta is my favourite track on Forza motorsport and I was very jealous you can actually drive the real one!

yea sound sux's right now---1st time with any camera--so next time better mount and sound.
RA is one awesome track, very challanging. Should drive out? We had a guy from Texas this time and he is returning to every event at RA.
Video does not do it justice
