Default Quick WMV file of Ed@4induktion and me at Watkins Glen. If you time from the apex of the first left

hand turn at 8 seconds in, we hit that same point at 2:36, thus a 2:28 lap. He's on S-03s, I'm on Falken Azenis. Not too shabby for a couple of guys pretty new to tracking at our first event at the Glen. =)

I'm in the lead at the begining and the camera is in Ed's car. This lap is probably 10 minutes into our session after we laid the smack down on an E46 M3. I throw Ed the pass on the back straight, hoping to get some nice video for him from my car, unfortunately my tape ended about a minute after the pass. DOH!!!

The video is pretty compressed so the quality isn't that great, but it's a 2:40 minute file and only 5MB.

Default After watching that, I can't wait to track my car...

Do you think I will eat through my pads and rotors after one event?

Fronts have probably 75% of their life left and rears about the same

Default You're fine, my dad just did his first track event in his A4 with 29k miles on the original pads and

after two days at the Glen his were fine. Granted, you'll probably be going faster since the S has more power and braking harder since it's heavier, but focus on smoothness and the correct line the first time out, work on adding speed later. Just be aware of your brakes and what they are telling you, if you feel fade, back off for a lap or two. That said, it probably wouldn't hurt to get some track pads for the fronts.
