I guess its expected, I forsee new tires after the summer or even sooner.

I drove 2 1/2 there and back today....it's isn't that bad. Actually, getting up at 3:30 was pretty bad...
It was a lot of fun. Could use better pads though, the OEM pads only last a few laps before they starts to fade. Don't think I can do enough track days to get track pads, but will definitely need something better soon.

Yes I take my car to Don Miller. Actually its there right now getting the transmission output seal replaced under warranty. I've only had it there for warranty work. Blackhawk is particularly hard on brake cooling. Theres a lot of corners you string together so you build some decent speed and then have to brake really hard for a tighter turn. Not much time to cool off the brakes at that track which is why I usually do a couple laps fast then a couple slow. Keeps things from getting too hot.
Not saying you have to sign up today for the next Blackhawk event but we did end registration a couple days early for the last one since it sold out. The next might sell out sooner. Registrationhttp://www.myautoevents.com/pls/mae/...73322863923788
