How I spent Fathers day

That was really really neat. I have the same 370z too. Touring + Sports + Nav and I'm going to Laguna Seca this Sunday. Maybe next time I'll go to

It's my first time there, although I have brake ducts, I'm expecting to get brake fade. Glad you had a fun time. I loved the videos. I'll try to take some with my go-Pro.

Thank you. I do hope to meet you at the track. Get DOT 5.1 brake fluid as I plan to. This will help.

I survived my first Laguna with stock brakes. You must coast and down shift into turns more to save the brakes. I still had 30% of my stock pads left at the end of the day.

You will have a blast. Who are you running with? ie track masters etc.

When I bought the car they gave me the option to get the Nismo brake pads so I currently run them in my car. I don't know how that compares to the original sports package brake pads. This time I am running with Citytech track days. I currently work with some people that attended the event on 6/20. Was that the one you went to? I know someone that goes by the name of Scott which went with his 350z.

I went the 17th of June. I am going to Sears Point Sept 9, 2012.

Your Nismo pads may be what I had. They are not enough for hot lapping but I got a whole day out of them driving 10-15 seconds a lap slower. If ever your brake pedal sinks a little bit, watch out.
