370z Autocross/HPDE

Read the ice mode thread on page two of this track forum- consensus is: Modulate the initial pedal pressure i.e. don't SLAM on the brakes into corners (hard to avoid in Autocross), and don't run overly grippy pads like carbotech XP14 or higher. Disable ABS if the class you are running allows it. This is a second year issue- you might not run into it for a while. We hope you make it out to CA for some HDPE's sometime. Willow Springs is a blast, they take really good care of us out there. Buttonwillow is about 100 miles farther but I've heard good things.

Awesome, thanks for the advice, there is a lot of good information there. I may check that track out too when I get a chance in the future!
