[QUOTE="David Hester, post: 6215056, member: 6794"] [I]If you don't have time for that, you must realize that you're going in not as prepped as you could [B](should)[/B] be.[/I] Agreed. :beer: That honest part, again. Yep [url]http://www.hawkperformance.com/part_number.php[/url] I used HT-10's roadracing before I tried a set of DTC-70 I got from a National driver when she changed over to Wilwood stuff. Driving around in the paddock WAS/is always exciting.. 20-0 in about 80 feet. :dw: All good choices, BTW. On the thickness, part. I'd be braking fine and then I'd notice I was getting fade. Pads looked good, so I'd change fluid. We were sitting in a buddy's trailer, drinking a beer and telling tales, when a couple of the guys were talking about swapping pads and I saw they looked better that what I was using. :eek: [img]http://www.rheacermotorsports.com/CMPApril1.2.06/images/PICT0017.jpg[/img] Then they explained the pad material works as an insulator for the piston, which transfer heat to calipers and thus the fluid. DOH! 1/4 pad and the heat goes straight to the calipers and fluid. In college, I did a lot of trail riding, but didn't have money to race. I got out and had some REAL salary coming in, so I started racing motorcycles with AMA. After breaking WAY too many bones, I found out about SCCA and cars. Started autocrossing in '84. Time Trials in '94 (we do hillclimbs, too) and finally had the means to go roadracing in 2002. [url]http://www.rheacermotorsports.com/racerbios.html[/url] You have to be able to write off a car, if it happens. (been there, done that) Hard to do while you are still in school.
