Hey Matt I dont know if you already touched on this but, do you find not upgrading your brake system (i.e. bigger rotors and calipers) a down fall for you at the track. I'm pretty sure you did atleast a hard 20-30 minute session at horse thief did you feel any brake fade?

The registration isn't open yet. Just have to keep checking the driver list to see how many people are signed up. Have you been to the track before?

I'm a regular at willow when it comes to motorcycle track days. I do about 6-9 motorcycle track days a year. Now that I'm back into the import scene I have not done a track day in the car, canyons Ive done alot, but just like riding canyons on my bike I'm over it and want to do the track thing. Since it's obviously safer and you can push the limits more.

At HTM, I have to admit that I wasn't braking hard enough. I was running Hawk HPS pads and should've burned them out, but I didn't . I was pushing it, but not 10/10ths. It was my first time running and I wanted to get a feel for the DB8. I have Project Mu HC+ pads all around right now and they're way better than the HPS. They bite fuckin hard! I already know that I'll be able to do a lot of late braking at SOW. These pads are amazing. The Motul RBF600 also helps.

Cool thanks for the info. Do you think you'll get a bigger brake system in the future? Which if so?
