Took 4 seconds off my PR yesterday at Thunderhill East. I definitely had another second or two to gain today but had a few hot laps that unfortunately got cut short by traffic. There were some really slow people that should’ve been in novice group. Great day overall though, car ran perfect the whole time.

Thanks!Very nice lap, and I really like your camera position.
4 seconds is freaking huge. on a 2 and change lap. What do you think were the was biggest factors for the much quicker times?

Thank you. I've got some work to do as well. I'll be back there in Feb to see if I can get some more time. I know I left at least 2 seconds out there. You can get the pads from wdlracing.com. Local race shop here in Phoenix. You might have to call them directly since they don't list the ones for the MK7 on their website. Owner is one of the HPDE group leaders here in the NASA AZ Region. Many other cars here in NASA AZ are running them and have lots of positive feedback. You can see for yourself in the reviews on their site.Nice driving , youre a sec faster than my buddy with an IS38 mk7 on coils.

Where were you able to get the pads? Might go with those to replace yellows as the price seems right, was also considering Powerstop "track day" spec pads too
