Dude, no, why would we roll over everyone and offer less track time. This isnt some competition. Stick to your own thread please.

12 cars vs. 60 cars ? No thanks. Final spots are almost filled.

Nemesis

11-06-2009, 02:06 PM

Thank you to all that have sent payments so far. Deposit will be sent out next week, and finalized details of all the run groups will be made over this weekend.

Do you guys think it would be worth going in a Hyundai Genesis coupe 2.0t? I recently got it and have never been to a track event before, so it would be a completely new thing for me and my car.

Any replies or thought would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hell yeah man. Come on out. Your car will prob be faster than mine. I'm in a crx. You may just wanna upgrade your street pads to some hawk hps or somethin similar and you'll be fine.

Sorry im really a noob here, but when you say street pads, do you mean tires?

If so, I really cant spend more money on other tires, but I got my car at Jim Ellis, and they had a free tires for life promotion when i got the car, so I get free tires as long as there are no signs of abuse, uneven where, flat spots, etc.

This leads me to another question, if I did go to the track, would I end the day with the things I mentioned above?

hah...nah man..brake pads. just order some hawk hps or hp+ and you'll be fine at the track. you'll improve your driving ability..you'll figure out the limits of your car..so you'll be a safer driver on the street. and its also fun as hell. i kinda wanna check your car out too..i still havent ridden in a new genesis yet

by the way...what tires does it come with stock? size and brand

How much are those brake pads?

And I dont have the track model, so I have the 18 inch Bridgestones. I am not sure about the model, but I know they are all season sport and not summer tires.

the hawk hps pads are about 60 bucks on amazon i think. those tires should be fine.

Would i need to go somewhere to get them installed? And would I put the stock ones back on after I am finished with the track day or what?

brake pads are really easy to put in. you'd probably want to leave them in if you got the hps pads. they are good for street and track. they should be a lot better than your stock pads for both applications. but if they got noisy or something you could always put your stock pads back in.

Is there any danger in running the stock pads?

coreylol

11-10-2009, 05:12 PM

well...they will probably stop working after a couple of laps. they aren't designed for the temp your brakes will get to when on the track.

i know this because i went to my first track event a couple of years ago with stock pads...and i was really disappointed to find out that after a couple of laps my brakes basically didn't work anymore. so i couldn't push my car nearly as hard as i wanted to...cause i knew it just wouldn't stop fast enough in the corners.

if you don't know how to change your pads...you can get a haynes manual or chiltons from autozone or any other parts store. it's super easy..it probably won't take you more than half an hour your first time.

Is it that way for all stock pads? And the new ones are 60 for four? or 60 each?

Hey man. Before I made any move on this I wanted to make sure, but we had 8 payments which was great, but 3 people bailed out due to work/family reasons. So that leaves us out to dry, and with it being so close to the track day I have no choice but to either reschedule or issue the refunds. I will send an email out to those that left a payment with me on what they decide.

If we decide to reschedule... the new date will be February 6th.
