Sorry for jacking the thread a bit
VCMC's holding their first track day of the year on Sunday, April 5th.
Most track days are held during the week and interfere with work / school. This lapping day, along with the one on October 25th, are the only ones on Sundays for 2009. In addition, the coming track day on April 5th will have a Novice group for newcomers, with instructors provided. One other of these track days will also feature this, but there is no guarantee that it will be the other Sunday date that this will be possible. It is most likely that newcomers will not be allowed to participate in a no-Novice event.
Event cost is $190.
Participants must be VCMC members; VCMC membership is $40.
Total is $230.
This is something every man should try at least once in his lifetime.
Further information below:

Make sure you bleed your brakes with some higher temperature brake fluid before going because Mission Raceway is notorious for being hard on brakes.

Make sure you do a cool down lap at the end of the session when the checkered flag is being waved, your brakes and engine will thank you.As for bleeding your brake fluid, I suggest getting some ATE superblue from http://www.driversedgeautosport.com/ate_superblue.htm on boundary.
PM me your msn, I'll give you more info on how to bleed brakes later, gotta head off to class.

I don't think you need to change your brake fluid, cause AMG is using the DOt 4 brake fluid already! That's good enough for a track event in Vancouver!! Also, for using a higher grade brake fluid like DOT 5/ 5.1, you may need to change your brake lines to Stainless steel !!

Even though AMG's use DOT 4 brake fluid, brake fluid itself is "hygroscopic," which means it tends to absorb moisture over time thus lowering the boiling point. It's always a good idea to get fresh brake fluid and flush the old one out anyways as a safety precaution. DOT5 however is a silicone-based brake fluid. It is NOT compatible with any polyethylene glycol based fluids.
