2013 Boss 302 @ PBIR video

[isrboss]

First time out to Palm Beach International Raceway. I had some braking issues due to a poor recommendation from a Performance Friction field rep. All and all I had a great time just had to brake earlier than I should have. Pay attention to the Cayman S that gets on track at lap 6. If you watch my mirrors you can see him. The only areas I could match him was through turn 1-3 and the back and front straights, the rest of the track was all his. I could not believe how fast the Cayman S was on the straights.

Yeah, it was that ridiculous and after that day the pads were chunked and my rotors tore up.

Which pads were those? What tires?

PFC Z rated running on Bridgestone re-11 streets. I was looking for a pad that was just a little better than the oem pads. Wow those zrated pads fell way short.

Not entirely meant for the track but the HP+ are awesome IMO.

Well considering the oem pads did fairly well for me except for the fact that they just disintegrate after one and a half track days. I talked to a Performance Friction rep. about getting a pad that holds up better that I can drive to the track on. That rep told me that the z rated would do much better than the oem ferodo pads. Considering the cost, accessibility and recommendation of the z rated I tried them, lesson learned.

Talk with Pufferfish, he sells Carbotechs and really likes them.

I'm good now and happy with Porterfields.

Good stuff... What club are you with? I have wanted to get out on track with the Boss but have two small kids that seem to keep me busy. Eventually I'll get out there...

Thanks RacerX, I suggest joining this meetup group High Performance Driving Club of Florida - TrackWeekend.com (Fort Lauderdale, FL) - Meetup I may be looking to do one more track day this year, let me know if you decide to go.

Thanks... The other issue I have is I am a small business owner and saturdays are my busiest days of the week.... So Sunday events are the only way for me. I checked out your link and saw all the track dates were on sat. I have done some NASA events in the past as they usually do two day events that include sun. I'll get out there eventually....:rockon:

Keep an eye out for PBOC events as well, I just did a Sebring event with them, and it was all weekend.
