I'll probably slap my track pads on and drive down with them, they are RS29s. Any issue with them on the street Duncan?

A little grabby when cold and they do squeel a bit but nothing like when I had the stock brakes with track pads.

Were the garages secure, were you able to drop your stuff off and leave it there for the weekend?

I'll probably drive down on my street set up just to be safe.
I had a lug nut puncture one of my tires are Road Atlanta, ruined one of my days there.

We left our Wheels in Duncan's room for the 2 days. The garages are pretty secure, but very large with lots of people in an out. Some poeple left their cars and stuff there for the few days. Since we will be at a different hotel this time, I may leave my stuff at the garage. Didnt hear of any problems.

There were 8 wheels and tires in my hotel room!I am pretty sure it is secure but we did not chance it overnight.

I am currently booked to leave on the 2nd, although I have thought about staying an extra day or two, depends on how things at the office are.

Thats right Mr.Money Bag's....

Gearhead999s · 06-02-2011, 06:40 PM

Booked a Lakeview for 3 nights.I am sure that if we are concerned about leaving stuff at the track,we can lock it in somebody's trailer.I am pretty sure that the garage area is pretty secure at night.

ZWEAPON · 06-02-2011, 06:50 PM
