What time are you leaving that morning? I'm between White Pond and Copely Rd, so you'll pass right by me. Maybe we can convoy together?

I am leaving around 6:30 ish should be over by White Pond around 6:45.
If all goes well I should also have an 88 RX-7 GTU following as well.

Just have fun!
For your first track day just make sure that you enough gas in your car, about 5 extra PSI in your tires, and all the loose items out of your car and you should be good and you will have fun. Just starting out you really don't have to do much to prepare. You be out there driving the car like Senna.
Marlon, I think I remember seeing that Jay deals Hawk pads. Do you have any contacts, or preferred vendors that sell Carbotechs?
RPM sells Carbotechs and if you are a part of the Mazdaspeed Motorsports Parts program you can order from the as well.
How many generations of RX7's were there? Seems just about every body style will be there! lol
There were 3 different generations.
I just realized this event is this Sunday!! Wow, where do the days go? haha
I'll probably be there close to 9 or 10am. Hopefully I have 3G reception at the track, in case I get a call for work and have to fix a computer or server.
Also...who all is coming? Does anyone plan on bringing a grill? If so, I'll pitch in money for burgers, or buy some if necessary.

Yup! Let him a message around 4 yesterday, and he called back at lunchtime today. Talked me into the +'s even though they may make more noise. These will be my track pads only, the extra grip was worth $20 more.
they are noisy, but I didn't mind, and it gave me a piece of mind knowing that I had good brakes on the street in case some jackass cuts me off

What he said, it is really important to do it correctly! Good Choice BTW....get them heated up on th track as well....accelerate and do some hard stopping while the yellow flags are out...

see instructions in the box.. you'll start off by doing gradual stops at normal speed and then more at higher speeds, it removed the coating on the brake material.
Here's StopTech's instructions on brake bedding. It's easy peasy. And fun too! heh-heh
