I'm down for a $200 track day provided it can be on the weekend. I've done the course a number of times before but never in the 240.

I've never set up a track day before so don't know what is needed to set one up.

I don't think I've met you... I've usually go down with Unlimited Laps as an instructor. It's been a while since I've driven there and like I said, never in the 240 before.

Last time I was there was a over a year ago and I had complete brake failure right before turn 2 after the front straight. The brake set up was a prototype from Fastbrakes and the Wilwood caliper overheated and melted the brake caliper open and exposed the brake line. Went off into the gravel pit at 60mph and luckily stopped before the tire barrier and had to get towed out.

I actually had to get a bolt from Skip Barber to plug up my leaking front brake so I could drive the car home (Sacramento) with 1 front brake... that is something I'd never want to do again.

That was what it looked like. The rotor was too close to the caliper... since then they've stopped offering this brake set up.
