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. |

Great stuff, you really have me thinking I should try the Lingenfelter event.
Was Lou Gigliotti the driver of the ZR1? I thought I read no professional drivers allowed. I would have thought his racing career would have been considered professional. |
