Race Tracking Your Supra - Information exchange

[razorlab]

Seems they're on special order currently. I waited last minute and need pads by Sept 14th lol. Stocks will be fine for my 9/11 track day but I have two hard days at Road ATL the following weekend planned.

Try Evasive. I always purchase from them and get them quick.

I see. Well, glad I kept them to myself before.

Hawk DTC60/30s also on backorder for those interested.

Now to research for a third option.

Or stop being a bitch and get CSG.

Amazed your cars don't feel like oversteer machines with no toe-in in the rear. Probably because of the very small amount of negative camber in the front.

No mine is definitely very tail happy lol. I gotta watch myself powering out of a corner. It wants to step out all the time.

Toe-in will help a ton with that. I run .35 total rear toe-in.

Do you rotate the CRSs without issue

I didn't have to rotate these, but yeah, swapping them around is easy enough. Or go you mean flopping on the wheel in case of camber wear?

ull tread these are hairy AF in a downpour.

@kaj how many days on that tire?

I did five track days, so about 15 heat cycles.

I really like G-Loc or (the same pad just more money) Carbotech.

Not spending twice the amount on brake pads doesn't make you a bitch LOL

Hi gang,

Any suggestions for a good bag to hold track day essentials - helmet, air compressor, snacks, water etc. ?

How are you keeping your stuff organized and easy to remove from the car?

This beast looks kinda cool but it’s out of stock and details are scarce.

This Rigid box fits perfectly for all my tools and such. I can get the part number tomorrow if you are interested.

If you are in the Dewalt ecosystem I highly recommend this portable air compressor: https://a.co/d/crnoY29

I just use plastic bin with lid from walmart..

Do you get Circo pads in the US?
I use the M119 compound and have been very impressed.

I have all my tools n stuff in a Milwaukee modular roll-around. I have the bottom two sections:

For fluids, funnels, and cleaners, they are in a milk crate.
I like the roll around and milk crate because nothing slides around the back of the SUV en route to and from the track.
My helmets get their own bags. My driving clothes/HANS/shoes/gloves/etc are all on their own back pack.

I use these for my rear pads - I special order them from Australia. They are indeed very good.

A popular shop here could maybe be a dealer soon…

In the meantime, Paragon has Supra pads in stock. Both Circo and Paragon pads are made by winmax Japan.

Paragon offers the equivalent of the W7 and W5 for track pads, along with a coupe different street/track pads.

Very good pads and fast shipping. I’d recommend R7 front and R5 rear for anyone who needs pads:

https://paragonbrakes.com/paragon-pbp1604-brake-pads

shipping is very fast for in stock items.

I use a plastic bin sized to fit perfect. Doubles as a table. Folding chair and small tool box. No gas as yet
