This reminds me of the time a gt3-cup car came out to summit point and spun in the pit lane entering the track and mounted the tire wall.... in the dry...... black flagged the session and everyone had to come in, many a 'cold tire' joke was told that day. A bit tough to get sympathy when you bring ...

To be honest, every event I have gone to at Summit point provides an instructor for new folks and stuff like what was in the video doesn't really happen.... That Atom experience sounds like a blast, I am very jealous!!!! Both FATT and CDC have bunches of experienced folks happy to help from what i h...

Welcome! I am sure Nathan mentioned this to you already but CDC is great club and very welcoming for new folks. Everyone I have brought has had a blast

i just signed up for both days, extra motivation to actually finish the car..... or pray to the weather gods for it to warm up

I am planning on it right now, I haven't signed up yet, as I still have a few parts to go to have the car ready hahaha, one warm weekend and i should be good. Similar to the November NASA event end of last year the seat heaters might come in handy

I am jelly i have to conscript the gf into helping with brake bleeding.... just saw your comment on the rotors, the ax6s were pretty nice to my rotors, i have been happy with a set of centric cheapo base rotors, i like the coating they use as it never rusts onto the hub for me, i am pretty sure axxi...

i have used a few different sets of pads on my minis (04 non S and a 05 r53 jcw) oem - used on street, autoX and track (when i was slow) pretty good cold bite and decent on the track in a beginner group when paired with good fliud, pretty dusty but quite, easy to clean, i haven't ever used these sin...

rpf1 are great wheels, if only they cleared my brakes, i had to get the pf01s instead even though they have convex spokes, which made me have a sad when one was set face down and got a scratch, i know they are just track wheels but i have ocd about rash etc on any of my wheels

Glad you enjoyed it, nice videos too :D I really want to get a camera or some kind of data system, this wish list is getting too long..... :roll: Things I am thankful for: living ~1 hour +/- 15 minutes from all the CDC venues and summit point , moved here before i knew about CDC and summit point and...

Yeah I sometimes self tech but if i am going to the shop anyway i have them do it, nothing is really difficult to check, the event staff will do a check too for things like wheel bearings etc before you go on track with hp+ pads you should be alright, the good thing is that pad fade usually goes awa...

Cool hopefully the hurricane scares three people away and you can make it. I did a LeMons race in 40F raining and 45mph gusts and it was still a good time. The weather looks pretty good come the 3rd though. As for the inspection I usually go to RRT as they are super close to me (http://roadracetech....

How was the Integra? Handle the rain well?

That was me! This month has been pretty crazy so I was behind on checking the forums. Missed a few recent autoXs but should be at the harry grove ones later, at the lemons race in Chicago this weekend so will miss this week, tonight will be the inevitable rush of replacing a caliper that seized whil...

There website says "Some convertible cars do require a roll bar." http://www.wdcr-scca.org/TrackDaysTrials/AboutOurEvents/tabid/97/Default.aspx I assume it is similar to the other events at summit point which means it depends if the factory one is functional etc. You could ask them about y...
