I am doing the Power Tour long haul this year.


I am signed up for the qualifier in Arlington Tx.

I have a new set of street tires on the car(300 tread wear) I can get by with those, the brake pads are what I am worried about.

I bought the best ceramic pads Oreilly had so they wouldn't dust my wheels up, I did the autocross in Muskegon and they did ok. I don't have ny brake ducts either.

I had my Carbotech XP 12/10 fronts and the 8's for the rear sent to my hotel.....do I need to put them on?

The Optima deal is

Autocross

Stop Box

Eagle Canyon road course(1 lap at a time)

Will I be ok with the ceramic pads???????????

Or switch to the Carbotech's?

Need some input quick.

Good luck! Looks like a fun event.

I would love to see how my car would fair in an event like that. I would not even consider any thing less than the Carbotechs.

What tire are you planing to use? I think I would have chosen something like a 315 NT05, it has the 200 tread wear and minimum tread depth at 7/32 out of the box.

How did you get selected for it or can anyone enter the qualifiers?

Most of the events are first come first served. They usually have a car limit and once its met they don't allow any more entries. You have to win the event to qualify for OUSCI. The other option is going thru SEMA, I believe if you are a big time builder and have a car you want to run, they invite some of these nicer high dollar rides over to run as well. I've been to 2-3 events so far, and its always a good time.
