PCA Thunder Again Sept 29-30
I just signed up (will be my first HPDE) for the PCA Thunder Again at NJMP on Sept 29-30, and plan to run on Saturday, and maybe Sunday depending on how things go and how my brakes hold up. Anyone else planning on doing this one?

I'm considering the PCA Schattenbaum event in November. I did an event with them in July and thought they were pretty good for a novice HPDE'er.
They seem to be a bit cheaper as well - it's late in the year but might want to consider it.

thanks. Will consider it depending on how the sept event goes. My concern with a November event though is that the weather is much iffier at that point with much greater chance of rain.

1st day was a lot of fun. Can't predict the weather so might as well go with an open mind. That said, make sure to bring rain gear in case and boxes/tarps for your items in case it does rain.

FYI - I'll be in the Blue run group, car number 03.
Most of the car prep is done. Did a fluid flush with some new Brembo LCF 600, swapped all 4 pads with some Stoptech Sport pads and put on new OEM front rotors. Going for tech inspection on Friday. Also ordered some vinyl track decals because why not? :-) Getting excited...

Black run group, number 14 here.
Just be mindful of the brakes as you build speed through out the day. That setup can get toasty if your keeping pace with most of the other blue/white guys of the group.

Thank you! Will do. I'm planning to work up slowly given I haven't been on any track in years, and do some cool down laps as well.
