Brakes, Autocross Results

I snagged another 2nd in class at MoHud’s second to last event of the year, at McCarty Ave on September 20th. FTD was a 27.2, my best clean run was a 28.555 although I improved to an honest 28.1 by the end of the day, with 1 clipped cone in the process. If that bugger had stayed in the box, I’d have tied for 4th in raw time, out of a field of 57.

I’ve noticed some wear on one of the V710s. It looks like little patches of the top rubber compound have been chewed out, exposing the next layer down with a suspicious cord-pattern to it. Guess I’ll run that guy on the rear next time around, and wait till I’ve got nothing for the front. If I burn them up good at the last autocross, maybe I’ll mount the new Kumho XS on those wheels afterall.

Did a bunch of driving yesterday, up scenic Route 9N. Traffic is still not bad, but the leaves are really popping. It was pretty wet all day and the bald Azenis weren’t the best option.

Stainless steel brake lines are on the car and the fluid has been fully bled to Motul RBF600. Unfortunate that I’ve only got one event for such good fluid, before the winter months when the car will be stored.
