My brake pads only had 8k of normal driving miles before I hit the track, but what I really needed was BETTER quality pads & brake fluid.

NCCAR....Near lake Gaston on the boarder fo VA & NC.
It is the Lotus inc. test track.
I am debating the Rear Sway Bar or just getting a Rear Strut Bar. The stock sway bar is already 24mm.

I understand less flexing is better but looking at the rear structure of the car, could you actually tell the difference with and without the rear tower brace? Its not that expensive but it seems that the money could needed elsewhere for a more noticeable gain.
I was under the impression that a stiffer rear sway bar would help since the cars are set up from the factory to understeer already.

For 275 a day it better be nice. We talked about going and emailed about charity laps but it seems the rule is you've got to pay to play. 275 gets you an intro class in the morning and driving with an instructor. Typically its 5-6 20 minute sessions you can get in, but if the crowd is light you can keep going. After you take the first class you can go back and go without an instructor, 225 I think. If you are serious about going a lot best bet is get in a club, they get discount rates for group deals.
