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.

Nice job Dave! Congrats! I'm sure there were some heavily built and well driven cars there at the top.

And he, by the way, spanked me in autox in Muskegon. I'm pretty sure this guy is a hot shoe... or maybe I just really suck...or both. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

And it was nice meeting you!
