That's not road racing Open track events are pretty different than wheel-to-wheel racing.

Looks like turns 1-2 at Gingerman. Nice track, I'd like to make it out there sometime.

Yes, that would be correct.. no "road racing" with this car at least. I have to get to work somehow in morning.. the big difference being I have no dents in the body at the end of the day and chances are I stay on the track the whole time .

Having said that.. the brakes do get up to the same or similar temps, so these should work great.

ATTENTION! I just put mine on and I discovered the backing plates for the outside front pads have three little nubs on them. The outer two shouldn't be there, and need to be ground off to make them fit.

Got them today. Any idea why they have those nubs? Think we should tell carbotech so they know for future orders?

I let them know. They buy from a big backing-plate manuf. so I'm surprised they came that way. I wonder if some calipers accomodate them?
