Raced again this weekend
and after only 3days racing and maybe 4k miles my front brake pads need a replacing
Well it wasnt so much a race but it was "open track". Me and what looked like a stock honda civic w/ R compounds (race tires) battled it out... well i smoked him. Only people that passed me was a 900hp corvette and a fixed up WRX. The track tempature was 174degrees when i went out for my last session and it was slick as hell. Today i need to spend some time removing rubber off the bottom of my car and in the wheels I should start collecting all the race rubber my car collects on the track
I did very good... infact i moved up to group 3 (out of 4) in two days, but i wanted to stay in group 2 another day so i am. I need to fix my car up a little more cuz no matter how good a driver i am ill still get smoked. Lots of cars like selby cobras and track cars
Anyways i came accross some pictures of when i drove the F1 car and my gf came out and took a few pics of me racing on Sunday, unfortunitly when you press the botton to take a pic it takes it 2 secs later to actually take the picture so she couldnt get many pics. Anyways here they are:
A couple pictures turned out beautifully. Im going 60-80mph in those pictures of my car. In the F1 car im doing 100+ but most of the pictures are of when im in the pit

dude you really need to re-size those pics.
you need like a 30 inch LCD to look at those pics.
but yeah try to see if the eclipse strut bar will fit your car b/c that will help soooooo much. looking really good though. wish they had some kind of track around here. they're supposed to be building a 1/8 mile track but the've been trying that for like a year and still no track. i'd rather have some kind of circuit track though.

Yeah i dont have time to resize them... actually it took me 2 days to post the pics as they were. Its finals week at school=busy busy busy.
Yeah a strut bar would be awesome.. sway bars even better. Im going to start looking into building a roll cage which stiffens things up also. Once i get a cage, strut braces, and sway bars... the only thing thats next is a turbo

4k miles and pads are gone!! i guess thats the price of slotted rotors... but hey if you gotta race and kick ass then it is a small price to pay.
