Here are the few photos I took from the day. I was planning on skipping a session and taking some photos but I realized I had the puncture and had to deal with that. All around a great day even though I had some crappy stuff happen at the end and the relentless heat.





Project µ Club Racers + Girodisc 2-piece rotors = Zero brake dust after 4 sessions And I brake like a hooligan. Completely happy with my brakes as is now.





Oh my glob a R32 GT-R in the states at Thunderhill! Gimme!





Oh my right rear dropped 10 psi after my 6th (and final) session. I wonder why that happened?



oh...



These rotors are the truth! Absolutely zero fade and solid feel all day long with Girodisc rotors, Project µ CR, and Project µ brake fluid. I plan on adding stainless lines and front ducting to help get even better feel and longer life, but extremely happy with my brakes today.





This is what happens when you leave a lap timer suction cupped to your windshield all day and take it off. I thought I removed it pretty carefully, but right when the vacuum seal was broken. CRACK. Since I recently had this windshield replaced I may be able to get it replaced again for free. Fingers crossed. Anyone have an idea why this happened? I removed the suction cup pretty slowly, but I did leave it on all day long, but my car was always parked in the shade when not on the track. Maybe I should remove it after each session when it is super hot like that?



I feel very lucky to get some help from the local tire shop in Willows, guy came back to his shop after he closed it just to help me, and wanted to charge his normal rate for a patch (I gave him double). Video of my fastest laps and highlights and oil blow-by coming soon!

That guy is the best. He does great work and charges nothing. He unmounted my tire cleanes the rocks and dust out. Remounted and balanced for 10 bucks. I gave him double. His equipment was top notch as well

Agreed. He thoroughly cleaned my wheel after unmounting the tire (inside and out), re-torqued all my wheels to 80ft/lbs without me even asking, and happily explained the whole process of plugging and patching the tire in a shop that was 100+ degrees. If you have an issue like I did, contact James at Safety Tire Service - http://www.yelp.com/biz/safety-tire-service-inc-willows

I had my go pro suction cup mounted on my windshield all day. If it was the suction cup that caused your windshield to crack that would be something good to know.
