I think for a Hyperdrive you would be alright ... not for a whole weekend HPDE. The Hyperdrive in June is on the smaller Jefferson Circuit instead of the main circuit ... so even easier on the brakes.

Sounds good, I think I'm gonna go for it. What is the exact date and time for It?

National Auto Sport Association - nasaproracing.com

...no schedule yet for the exact times for each session. For mine I got an email a few days ahead of time that had a final schedule.

Shorter tracks can be hard on your brakes too - all depends on how agressive the driver is. You were verrrry tame with yours (understandably so). If Shahid decides to be more aggressive, he could easily get into trouble on Jefferson just as much as the Main.

True that ... I think taking it easy on the brakes is the biggest thing. If you flog them to death, they will let you down anywhere I would guess.
