As mentioned in another thread, 5 SHOs went to Summit Point at the end of April (give me a break Im busy) with the BMWCCA. We had 1 day at Jefferson running counter-clockwise, one day running clockwise, and the main course was supposed to be the third day. Well the main course got rained out on the last day, but here are pics and vids from the Jefferson days.

EBC Yellowstuff Brake pads for the Cobra Caliper. I love these pads. I can drive around on them on the street without ruining my rotors and they have great cold stopping characteristics, unlike the Hawk HPS or HP+. They are generally cheaper than the Hawk pads, which is always helpful. On the track I experienced no fade, even when the car was pulling double duty between me and SHO92. In fact it seemed the hotter they got the better they worked. At the end of 2.5 days of track work, my rotors were still in great shape.
Baer Eradispeed plus 13" 2 piece rotor. Approx 3 lbs lighter per side than the one piece rotors and much less likely to have the ring separate from the hat than the one piece cobra rotors. Once again, had no fade on the track and held up very well.
Nitto Nt-01 R comp. While I liked these tires, I did not think they were any better than the Avon's I ran before, plus they were a little more expensive. Their saving grace might be the fact that they do have some tread, instead of just 2 groves, and could be driven on in the rain on the track and back and forth from the track. The fronts wore fairly quickly, but I was asking a whole lot more out of the front tires on Jefferson than I was in previous years on the main circuit.
Castrol Domestic Multi-Vehicle Trans Fluid. Best fluid I have used yet. Way, way better than Mobile 1. Smooth shifting in every gear even after many thousands of miles and track time.
Castrol GTLMA synthetic brake fluid. I cant seem to find my beloved Valvoline Synthpower brake fluid anymore. Luckily the castrol GTLMA is almost as cheap and is just as available as the the Synthpower used to be. No problems here.
