8:00....8:30? Doesn't really matter to me. Gates open at 9:00, meeting is at 9:45, track hot at 10:00.

I will be at HPR Sunday. Who wants to meet up for the drive at the gas station/mcdonalds?

Where?

[blefevre]

Where?

3151 Airport Boulevard, Aurora, CO

Mcdonalds and Shell gas station.

[Bimmerman325i]

Google says it's 50mins to HPR from the station, so lets meet there at 8?

Gives us time to grab coffee/vittles/chill for a bit before heading out.

[Bimmerman325i]

Also, for HPR we need to sign up before friday to make sure they'll host the event.

[blefevre]

8 sounds good. I will be there.

[Bimmerman325i]

Bringing the Golf?

[blefevre]

Bringing the Golf?

Yeah. I am going to take it easy and not run a full day. I want to know how it behaves at the limit, which is always good to know. The E30 will be taken after that.

Awesome! Our old mk5 gti was great on track, can't wait to see the new b.a. one!

I don't know how many, and yes, 10car minimum. With you me chris brad I think we'll be fine.

[blefevre]

Help me learn. Does anyone have a quick read on braking control? I don't want to fry my brakes like I did with the E30.

Hard and fast braking or longer and less pressure braking? Trying for 6/10ths here, not 9/10ths.

[Bimmerman325i]

Hard and fast = less heat over time, but is trickier to do.

[fsmtnbiker]

Brake less (or not at all). That is much easier on the brakes.

:)

[blefevre]

So heat kills pads faster then pressure? I understand it's a function of both, but you get where I am getting with this. I am not worried about cooking the brakes, I am worried about saving the pads. I figured there is an accepted method for braking, so if it's fast and hard then I will attempt to work with that.
