E55 on road course

Put the 55 on the track- first time not at a drag strip. It was a PCA club day, had lots of fun, 2 day weekend at Roebling Road. BC coil overs and corner balanced.

I track mine pretty regularly and I must say everybody is very impressed by it...Roebling isn't too far, maybe I'll see you at Road Atlanta one day.

Start at 4:15 Seconds...before that is just warming up

How did your brakes manage out there? That is one thing I have trouble with but I am also on stock pads currently.

It's a requirement on HPDE's. They need you to hear things around to such as strange noises coming from your car and other cars near you.

Yes Windows must be down for safety reasons. As for the brakes, they held up well. No fade. They did get hot enough to bubble the paint on the front rotor hats though, and you could smell them too. But never let me down lap after lap. Going into turn one is heavy braking. Definitely need to flush the fluid after a track weekend.
