Does anybody know if camping is allowed for FATT? I didn't see it on their website and I haven't recieved an email saying that I have a spot so I didn't want to bother them with questions. I know it's only a one day event, but going up Friday night and camping makes for a relaxing start to the weekend.
David - see if you slide in with PCA.

I found this from Rob in another thread:
I got another hour and a half of track time on the Summit Point Shenandoah Circuit. The brakes are still performing well and I took infrared temp readings of all the rotors and calipers and the front and rear are running within 20 degrees of each other--all in the 520 degree F range (after 3/4 lap cool down with fronts ducted).
How hot do our brakes typically get on the track before the cool down lap?

I never measured the temps without a real cool down lap but if you hustled around the track and then stopped int the pits (not the paddock stall) It wouldn't surprise me to see temps in the 700s with actual rotor temps on track hitting the 900s.
