Ran my first ever 11 second pass yesterday (21 Mar). It was an 11.94@116. That was the good part! Now the bad! After I pull off to go get my timeslip I roll down the windows and hear a horrible grinding sound coming from my brakes. Well, upon further inspection I notice a 1/4 in. groove on the drivers side rear rotor. A buddy that went with me took me to Checker to get some new pads. I didn't want to chance it having to drive all the way back to Tucson. I guess powerbraking is truly rough on the rear brakes since I checked them 2 months ago and they were fine. I only drive the car on the weekends too. I've been putting off getting a linelock but now I think I'll invest in one.

Mine didn't do as well, made a hot lap 12.01. But after a cool down my clutch produced a lot of smoke just off the line and kind of gave up. It will drive if you don't give it more than 1/4 throttle so I could drive it home.
