Put new pads in about a month ago before heading to VIR. Should be good to go. Just need to do the brake fluid.

Car is prepped. New brake fluid, Carbotech RP-2's and XP-8's, Bilstein shocks and Toyo R888's.

I REALLLLLY need seats. Next years addition.


BTW- Bedding the RP2s on a local road gets you some funny looks.

Yes, it was "HOT". Stopped by Monday but you were out . Didn't get a chance to come back. Maybe I'll catch you at a later event. That was a nice ZR1 in your group.

Would have been nice to have some A/C both days.Spent some time in the classroom area to cool down. I have an 02 Z06, quicksilver with blue painters tape on the front and along the sides. I think the man I talked to said you were in a black C6.

Wish I had made it back to see you. Would have liked to take a close look at the Grand Sport. If I ever get another vette, probably will be the GS.

Do you attend any FATT events at Summit ? I think we are doing the NASA event in August. Plus I'll hit a FATT either late July or August.
