OK not just another brake upgrade thing.
the Red Neck Racer had it's 1st track day Friday.
each session was 7 laps give or take. ended up with 60 total laps for the day. some times there was less than 15 minutes between sessions.
Stock 17mm MC Stock front and rear calipers and good fluid Pagid black pads.
Really a great Autocross set up. Easily modulated and serious stopping power cold.
So get things warmed up, or should I say smokin hot. rotors are now Blue and there is ash like deposits around the pads.
Contibuting factors which I never seen coming (sometimes I am such a rookie) Front cow catcher air dam blocked air to brakes, not the best pad choice. Regular supplier of Castrol LMA was out. so I got Valvoline synthetic brake fluid. (NOT worth a damn).
Plan to fix before next track event goes like this:
make cooling ducts for front. Get better brake fluid, and what are the best pads for track use. 1900 pounds of car capable of serious speed on R3SO4 Hoosiers 225/45-15. Might even have Slicks for next DE.
