TireRack, Speed Industry and lots of independent race teams

Iād call ofc and make sure they can overnight or 2 day ship them to you! On my way to work. Hit me up on my cell if you canāt find any, anywhere. Iāll call some racing...
Hawk DTC and some have mentioned Endless (I donāt know much about those personally). Paragon can get you by and ofc the pricey CSGs.
Fluid, you know DOT4 will suffice. Castro SRF has a nice wet boiling point. So less to worry about as the season goes on while just bleeding out the dirty fluid.
Iāve met other guys that amateur race and trust Rockās opinion greatly. You definitely can brake harder and longer. If I was in a pinch ? Iād bite the bullet and buy em.
Have you considered trying Hawk DTCs Wes?
I tried Paragon R7 too. Not bad. But went back to my Hawk DTCs
Iāve found calling TireRack and Speed Industry was best price and availability.

Luckily lots of other places sell them also. So hit a few of those ā up. Mega...
Assuming steel brake lines and frequent bleeding your DOT4 brake fluid? And like Jason said any air :) Not costly and solid piece of mind to go with those beautiful ducts of yours.
Agree! Nice pads no doubt. But I took that extra money (in my mind) and bought a set of Apex wheels on sale. 18x11 square for track season. Definitely wider, lots of tire choices, and 10mm spacers all around. No longer āneededā with my Ohlins but does look nicer ?. And inexpensive
Dangā¦...
Oh hell yeah! At least that thin with some bare metal showing. One side a little higher than the other. They were on a single piston and obviously a little off balance. VIR definitely on the way and a MUST do track for sho!!!!! I went to watch a buddy race in the MX5 Cup. It was the only time he...

At least they are starting to mention it now. Cost will greatly vary based on when you charge and hopefully their next article⦠grid supply. Rolling blackouts are no fun. Weāre going to need some better...
Ft. Myers/Naples/Estero is my local. Orlando is about 3 hours away, sadlyā¦.
One of our last meets. I wasnāt able to go but they are mega fun and really cool peeps. About 5-6 Supras
Great job amigo! I swear Iām going (and wife) to do that track someday ?. I have a pic somewhere with my pads paper thin (kid you not). Anyways, thx for sharing. Fantastic photos and what an experience ā¤ļø
I want one! We always had a SUV when the kids were little when we tracked. Thus thru em in the SUV. Now that the kids can drive, we told ourselves weād never buy a SUV again ? Now weāre going to put a hitch on her VW GTI ? after I showed her your pic. She agreed!
I do! ?
Yes they can squeal. Iāve been doing it so long now (on the MX5 and Supra) that I can do force squeals or drive quietly ?. They stop just fine in town.
Homeboy is a wealth of knowledge! Iād buy project mu in a heartbeat ? However, I still have 2 full sets of Hawk DTC 60/30 pads. So Iāll...
Great idea! Link to the kit? and love to hear how they hold up for you ? Iāve had other ones (not the Supra) eventually wear or zip ties tear into the ducts.
Iāll trade you a hurricane and raise it with two more months of waiting for those wonderful temps up there. Beautiful pics Wes! And what a great experience to be able to do Watkins (even in the wet) ?
What a beautiful track! Too bad you couldnāt send him your on screen catalyst decreasing lap time average while stuck behind himā¦. Maybe he would have pointed you by sooner ?
Well said! Iām an extrovert (if you couldnāt tell lol). It does make it more fun hanging & talking to other car lovers like us :)
And spot on with the ājust one more partā and everything will run optimally ?
I must have gotten the clown ? ? version. All high pitch, no low, and will be the 1st horn Iāve changed out in my lifetime. I should have never hit the damn thing and I wouldnāt have known⦠I bought a really expensive $15 replacement...
