I generally don't have a problem with brake pad deposits. I brake hard all the time and I don't stand on them at rest.

strange issue going on there, sounds like.

Good evening Gentlemen…

I did a track day at Sebring on Saturday and it was great…. Lots of fun and lots of learning..

I have a question for others that have done this though…. My tires have hot rubber from the track stuck to them. Should I try to scrape off these heavy deposits or will it wear off eventually? What is the best way to get this off?

It is probably affecting the tire balance

The balls of rubber will come off with some street driving. It's not a big deal. To get the rubber to stick like that. You had the tires hot. :driving: So........when is your next trackday? Glad you had fun. :tup:

yikes!

How'd the supra do on the track?

Yeah I want to get the inside of the hood; it's never been touched so..kinda lookin ghetto with all the dust living in the SW the past 2.5 years;

Any area under the hood I should avoid? I was going to do it on a cool morning and then let it sit for a day (it's 90+ degrees so it won't take long to dry out)

If anyone here plans to drive through Monument Valley and there's a dust storm - just beware - your Z1 intakes will get completely taken out/covered in thick layers, so plan on doing a cleaning. The dust in that area is a more of a fine powder that gets into every f'n thing... even the longtubes in the bumper...

Other than the engine cleaning: I got a Sylvania headlight cleaning kit (has sandpaper; clear coat; etc) - that's next once we have cooler weather.. any tips? I'm regretting not having the headlights ppf'd from day one...

Then scrub with my wheel brushes.
Finish the Koch Chemie motorplast
Haven't had a problem yet.

Haven’t got a plan yet. They have a hotel at Sebring in turn 7, so Debbie also watched the whole day unfold from the balcony. A couple of guys crashed in front of her. She was amazed everyone was running so hard.

Smooth as glass. Precise and predictable. 140 felt like 40, very nice.

Glad I didn’t let the opportunity go by. There were 7 Supras there, along with various Mustangs, Camaros, Vettes, Porsches and also a 350Z

About 20 cars in each of my four 30 minute track times
