The September 12th Friday At The Track (FATT) at Summit Point Main was wet but good. I was the only S2000 running but Keith was there with the Ferrari. The pm sessions were very wet and Turn 9 was slicker than snot. We had a few incidents (most at Turn 9) with some dented sheetmetal but no one was injurred and everyone was able to drive their cars home.

Here's three youtube video segments of the 9am instructor session. It started damp and ended with steady rain but my very much used Nitto NT01's surprisingly kept their grip so I didn't have to back off too much.

Part 2 featuring a Porsche GT3, Spec RX-7, Corvette, a couple BMW ITS cars, and the Neon again and again (best video of this bunch).

Part 1 featuring a BMW 2002, M3, 323i, a few Spec Miatas, a Dodge Neon and an Integra.

Part 3 it starts to rain pretty good--in the wet with two BMWs, an STi, an Integra, and the Neon again.

 

nice vids Rob

 

Nice vids/driving

 

Smooth driving.

What alignment specs are you running?

Also, what brake pads are you using?

 

His youtube comments say Carbotech pads with front brake ducts.

 

very nice vids and not a bad bit of driving as well.

 

Thanks guys,

I'm running Carbotech XP12s in the front and XP10s in the rear. This was my first event with the 12s, I've been running 10/8s. I like the improved bite from the new pads but I'm not sure I will be happy with the rotor wear rate, we'll have to see. I am running two inch ducts to the dust shields and I'm very happy with the mod--the front brake pads are now running cooler than the rears!

I have the SPC camber kit in the front and I'm running -3 degrees, -2.5 in the rear. I'm pretty happy with this setup.
