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.
