2026 HPDE Season Kickoff

[southernBW]

For all you other track day / HPDE junkies driving these pigs around, welcome to the season. The weather was amazing this weekend at Road Atlanta.

Have a great season... hope you saved up your pennies for tires and brakes.

I've done a few things over the winter and am really looking forward to seeing what it all feels like. I should see 155mph this year.

Is that Thompson?

I plan on hitting 7 different tracks this year. All on the west coast. Except for Spring Mountain, I have been to all of them before but 5 of them will be new to me in a BW.

what brake pads are you using?

for my iron rotors, ChatGPT suggested Hawk DTC-60 (front HB667G.622 and rear HB665G.577), but the retailers don't think they fit the CT5vBW

i just intend to install them for track days, so i'm not worried about dust, but don't want to accelerate the wear of the rotors. I'll flush the brake fluid as well.

Aren't you guys wanting Carbon Ceramic Brakes for your tracking days and the lack of brake dust for all days?
