I'm incredibly jealous. It's my dream to take my car to Laguna Seca someday. Used to go there once a year for Champ Car when I was a kid...brings back memories!

Nice shots. Just drove my car at Laguna Seca last Friday for my first track event. It was a blast! Were you on OEM tires?

I got to go out for a few laps in a Porsche when I lived out there. It's my dream to drive my own car on it one day. Great pics!!

Are you using only stock brakes? If yes, did you experience any brake fade at the Laguna Seca circuit? Did you change your brake fluid to Motul or any equivalent?

FrenchBoy · 09-24-2010, 03:30 AM

Nice pics. Thanks for sharing

sc_tr0jan_m3 · 09-24-2010, 10:52 AM

checked out the CFRA website. sounds like you can only become a member if you're referred? how does the group work exactly? (ie how much track time, how many cars on the track at a time? how much does it cost? etc etc).

i'd like an invite!! :P

Brakes:

Pagid RS19 pads
Motul RBF600 fluid

The event before I was running with 100% stock brakes. Had to stop at the 4th run as my brakes got all soft and unreliable ... With RS19s and Motul it made a HUGE difference.

It is by invitation only ...

We have 3 run groups:

R-Race
A-Advanced
B-Beginners

Prices are very low ... Sessions are 25-30min long and you get on the track 4-5 times. For extra $50 you can purchase a spot in the another run group.

If you are interested PM me and I can send you an invitation.

Aleks.

Hi Aleks! Did you upgrade your brake lines to stainless steel? If yes, which brand did you get?
