Keep in mind that as you start getting more experience and faster you will probably start experiencing some brake issues (and maybe the dreaded ice mode which I have concluded is brake fluid boiling). Especially at VIR wher the back straight is much longer. You should really consider installing some brake cooling ducts.
This weekend I was out braking every other car in HPDE 2 in, as you know, damn hot weather! Zero brake fade and not even a hint of ice mode. Although, I did blow out my driver side inner fender liner. I should have taken the time to remount and recenter my driver side duct before going to the track. And I probably should have re-installed all the push clips and bolts after my last oil change. Oops...
Luckily, one of the S2000 guys works at a shop at the track and he let me use his lift to do some track side repairs. Nothing that a few zip ties could not fix. Now you see why I bring so many tools to every track day.

Thanks again for sharing your insights. I will have to look at how I'm going to address the brake cooling. I will be trying to get as many of my fellow 370Z bros out to the track as well! Hope to see you at VIR in October!
