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.
this would be my first time at the track, what are the req's for NASA??
If you are doing the PDX you better hurry....
I will be there
all i need is my brakes, i dont want to go out with factory set-up kinda already fading
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. lolOriginally Posted by type-flaco
o really so where do i sign up, and what do i bring
im going for : brembo blanks, hawk hps, SS lines, and motul dot 4 the rbf660 i think it is

go to soloatlanta.com forums and check out the road race/PDX/ Track section. All the info is there
what car do you have? ATE superblue FTW!!!
06' rsx-s---HKS hipermax w/pillowball, and ingalls camber kit in back, for the suspension part
sounds good man. I'll be looking for ya. maybe your instructor
that be pimp, i live like 5 mins from the track, but have never gone,sounds good man. I'll be looking for ya. maybe your instructor
how long you been an instructor for?
about a year and a half or so for PDX's and track events. I've been a kart and autocross instuctor for a few years.
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.
yep. very true. or try carbotech
i always been wanting to join like a club racing type deal.
best in the country www.scca.com
i just joined that yesterday, i did that $45 newcomer deal,
so the hps are bad?? alot of people recommended them...
my cars a daily will that matter any with the carbotechs
and where can i buy these for a good deal.
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
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.
either falken RT615's, Bridgestone RE-01, or Toyo R1r
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.
hmmm.... im not trying to change out pads for street then race
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.
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
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.
you wont drive, never do...
There has only been one other PDX and I was in Florida, the other two were cancelled...
haha. im just giving you a hard time. I'll see ya out there
okay so with the HP+ i are not abs compatible
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
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.
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
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.

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.
