SLAMMER Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I just signed up for the event... Do you all want to pit together? The red group goes out at 8:00 am Didn't you take the class last month? You should consider moving up to the orange group. See how you do and consider moving into the Green group as you feel more competitive and comfortable in the future. SLAMMER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICULUKN Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Im not a corvette snob.. LOL I pit with a bunch of BMWs (Flatout racing) when they are around. Let me know where you are on Saturday night, I will be at the track around 7am This is my first time on West with a car, so I want to go red for the morning. I may move up to orange in the afternoon if I feel I am getting held up in Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blurr Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 FIR West is a tight technical track. I'm out for this weekend, my new jerico will not arrive until the following Tuesday, just in time for the following weekend at Autoclub Speedway in CA. The former California Speedway. Let me know if any of you guys need pit help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that the time last time at Inde in my Honda Accord with NASA........used a good 70% of my street tires up and had to replace 2 front rotors, pads and hardware when finished. Used the parking brake to stop on the way home. . But I did enjoy pulling some of the cars down the straight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICULUKN Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Who is starting the vette-pen? I will not be pitting with Leroy this week. My buddy Mark blew his motor last month and wont be attending on Sunday (he usually saves my spot). Is anyone going to go out there on Friday and set up a Vette-Pen?

He slammed on his brakes and had to swerve to the side of me to stop from hitting me.. They maybe noisy.. but I know I can out brake a stock vette by probably 20 feet from 70.

There really is a big difference over Carbotec's street pads I love the stopping power. I do worry about being rear ended at the track by someone who is judging their braking distance by fallowing me. They get a big surprise when I stop much shorter then what they are able to stop.
