SCCA event july 19-20

[type-flaco]

Just wondering if anyone will be attending this event at road atlanta, they are also going to have an "PDX", im think about signing up for the pdx but not sure yet...........

[StraightSix]

The PDX is a good way to get your feet wet in learning to track drive. If you really want more track time, come to the NASA event in August.

[type-flaco]

this would be my first time at the track, what are the req's for NASA??

[Elbow]

If you are doing the PDX you better hurry....

I will be there

[type-flaco]

all i need is my brakes, i dont want to go out with factory set-up kinda already fading

[matthewAPM]

i'll be there instructing for the PDX...

be smart and spend the extra money on nice pads. the last thing you want is for your pads to melt off in 6 or 7 and to not have brakes at the end of the back straight. lol

[type-flaco]

o really so where do i sign up, and what do i bring

[type-flaco]

im going for : brembo blanks, hawk hps, SS lines, and motul dot 4 the rbf660 i think it is

A word to the wise:

After experience with both, stay away from the HPS and go one step up with the HP+ instead. I had HPS's on my Miata and they faded almost as bad as OEM.

do some searching. Best idea would be to go Hawk. You can get them for cheap and easy to find. You wont be driving 10/10th so you should be fine

[type-flaco]

ill do that, what experience have you had with tire brands for track days in street tire form, i've searched and seems people run the falken 615, dunlop z1, i have a set of 18x 7.5 Advan rg2's that these tires would be going on.

[matthewAPM]

either falken RT615's, Bridgestone RE-01, or Toyo R1r

[IndianStig]

i never once experienced fade with my Hawk HP+ pads and i used them daily, don't drive like a maniac and they work well. or just stick with oem's for daily driving and hp+ for the track days. and the initial bite on the hp+'s is ridiculously strong so watch out.

[matthewAPM]

i did back when its was a street and track car. Now there is just a trailer.

I will switch on the 2.5rs but you dont have to.

[IndianStig]

it takes 20 mins to change pads on hondas....

you still can't go wrong with hawk hp+, i DD'd it for 1 year in a prelude with no ABS

[Elbow]

I'm signed up for the PDX, but not sure if I will make it on track, will be there either way between 3 and 4 so come say hi. I will be doing the PCA event next month.

okay so with the HP+ i are not abs compatible

[matthewAPM]

your are. changing pads does not effect ABS

[type-flaco]

your are. changing pads does not effect ABS


lol no i know that but i thot he meant the pads wouldn't work well with abs, i thos i read some where about that also

[StraightSix]

Basically the same as for SCCA's PDX. You need a car in good mechanical condition, a driver's license and a NASA membership. The NASA membership is $44/year and you get a subscription to Grassroots Motorsports magazine.

Try doing a track day with both organizations and see which you like better. SCCA does some things well, but not others. NASA does some things well, also. However, to say that one or other is the best in the world is a matter of opinion.

VERY VERY true. Personally, I pick SCCA because of cost. If you want to do a trackday with some reallllly fast cars, go to NASA.

[matthewAPM]

BUMP!

will be a great event. If your not coming to drive, its an amazing event to watch. only $10 to get in the gate

[AnthonyF]

obviously, too short notice, but i want to take my truck up the track. I can't believe how well this thing handles. Matthew, if you could PM me the next good track day. I would love to attend and meet you. :goodjob:

-Ant.

[AnthonyF]

type-flaco-do you live right off hwy 53? with the fox body sitting in your garage?

-Ant.

[DJ Maestro]

Hmmm, I might have to come up for this event. I live 5 minutes from the track too and used to come to all Road Atlanta events in the past. Now, money got tight and I have to be choosy about what events I attend. Maybe I'll see you all out there. :goodjob:

[Thighs]

ill be there. no pdx though. :(

[Thighs]

[OnURleft]

is it a two session thing like the others. Can't decide if thats worth swapping pads on for.

[Elbow]

Yeah two sessions

[type-flaco]

-Ant.
