What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

tracked my Z for the first time ever yesterday. ran buttonwillow in #13 CW configuration and it was a blast. the z does really, really well there.

things i learned:
- must use rb600 - brakes and clutch never boiled!
- tire pressure is everything - started at 32psi in the cold 60 degree morning, and had to drop pressure after each session to 30-31psi once it got hotter in the day
- 250 degree oil temps come up quick when its 90 degrees outside, even with a 25R oil cooler

- with good pads, the damn car stops so fast. too fast! its scary

today - swapped back to stock pads, and gave her a good wash. man...1 track day = an entire weekends preparation/cleaning afterwards. oil change coming tomorrow!
