So how was it...

Michael,
How did you like Watkins Glen as I ran there in May and it rained most of the time except for the second day...later afternoon? Most got fed up with the weather so we grouped many together and got lots of track time!

What organization were you running with there? Curious to know what speed you got up to before the busstop braking area. Great track and plan to return next year....but only if they promise NO rain. Sorry to hear of your boring trip home...what an exercise!

Regarding the EBC pads, the mfg. only recommends green pads for cars under 3000 pounds and a 500E is quite a bit more. The ATE nuclear 'slotted' rotors are quiet and do a good job. For better rotor life and pad wear, have the rotors cryo treated before use. I also use ATE blue and its great, Castrol in the old days left me 'brakeless' at Talladega once so I won't use it!
