I will forever run Hawk Blues... serious pad that never gives up. I cut my braking points nearly in half at every braking zone. I pratically spent my last track day trying to relearn heel toe downshifting due to the capability of those pads.

Nice vids btw

Nice videos. Looks like a fun track. What's your top speed?

The acceleration of the Porsche and Corvette is awesome! Drives me nuts when a car gives me the point and then they keep their foot in it

I've hit over 120 down the back straight but I don't bother to push it. I let the car cool down and then enjoy turn 17 where I catch up to the "fast" cars that passed me on the straight or if not in 17 then, turn 1!

A couple friends have very powerful cars, torque also puts a smile on my face. Ripping through the turns is still my favorite so I'll stay with my RX-8 for a while!

That's why I'm loving my REW swap...much less of a problem going by most other cars. The GT3 Cups are still a problem...but at that price they had better be faster than my little Mazda

It looked fast. Not too many tracks that I've seen that our car can get over 120.

I think I can only get 116-118 there haha. Maybe someday, maybe someday.

I have got 128 at Pacific Raceways. You could probably get at least 140 there.
