Well its still cold outside, but the first race of the new year is going to be upon me sooner then I think, so me and one of my drivers decided to (litterally) dust off the Camaro and start getting it ready for the next race. We started with the brakes, it was amazing how bad they were. I expected them to be pretty trash after 24 hours of constant abuse but the front brakes looked as if they had done a lunar landing! The rotors were heat stained blue, and the front suspension was coated with little chunks of brake pad. The hydralics all seemed to have survived just fine though. So a few hours later the car has brand new brakes on it. We also installed a new set of (suspension) springs and new (softer) tires. That's all we can do for now till the JEGS box hits my door. I gotta say I'm really starting to look foreward to getting back on the track.
