Not sure but I'd bug him with another email or two before it fills up.
I went back on their site and I guess I just had to go ahead and pay for the event to secure a spot. I was waiting for a reply to confirm my membership but I guess it wasn't necessary. I'm paid for and ready to go (I hope!). Just have to change out my brake pads for something a little better and I'll be ready to rock!

Ok...you guys can continue on with your conversation now, thanks [patriot]

I have a new brake setup coming in the mail. If you're using cobra front brakes I could give you two sets of used race pads and the rotors already bedded to those pads for dirt cheap. The rotors have only been used in one race. PM if interested.

What new brakes are you going with? We're the PBR's not enough even with full race pads?

I'm going with the stoptech kit. The PBRs started to fade toward the end of the races. Even half way through the race they don't feel right anymore. That was with Carbotech XP12 pads and a properly setup brake cooling kit. Plus, in two races the pads would be more than half gone and I couldn't use them for another race. They worked, but it's a little distracting worrying if the brakes are going to hold up for the entire race. The next two races are 35 and 40 minutes, I don't feel like pushing them that far.

I've had the same issues in mine but that's only when your driving extremely aggressive. Spongy and unsure is the feeling I've gotten. Don't worry Sydewayz6, you've got a few more years before you need to worry about this issue.
So are the Stoptechs the best for the money that you've heard? I am looking to upgrade myself.

Stoptechs are definitely near the top as far as bang for the buck goes. People have had good success with the brembo cobra R calipers as well. There is also The BrakeMan, but I think you have to buy rear calipers to get the proper balance, the whole kit is $$$$$.

Awesome time out today with TMR at Infineon! That track was definitely more technical than than I thought, but I really did enjoy it! TMR events seem pretty cool too since there aren't too many people and we were given 6 sessions each. Not sure if thats a regular thing for them, but if it is then I'm all for it! Unfortunately I left after my 4th session because it started pouring out there [Mad] Anyway...click the link if you guys want to check out a few pics [patriot]
