BTW, are brake pads supposed to smoke and turn ash grey?

Mileage was a bit better on the trip home ...
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/17158/RoadAmerica3.jpg"></center><p>30MPG over 144 miles! No, it was not downhill, just level road at speeds up to 80MPH. Perhaps the track runs completed the final phase of engine break-in.
If you are wondering, I snapped this pic this AM - that is why the coolant temp is at C.

Hey there!
By the second lapping session of day two my brake pads were kaput! I had to watch you guys from behind the barrier at turn 3 and then from the control tower. It was warmer in there for sure.
Question for you...do you know if Shroth makes a harness to fit the A6 like the one your friend had on her S4? ...and where did she get it...?

I have not asked about A6 fitment - yet! ...
but MotoPersona (one of the event sponsors) in Lombard has the harnesses. I watched them install the drivers side on a Golf once - took about 20 minutes.
BTW, my friend (user shon on the S4 forum) tore a boost hose (F-hose) in the first lapping session of day 2 and had to limp home.<ul><li><a href="http://www.motopersona.com">MotoPersona</a></li></ul>

Yeah. I think the fastest I got between 1 & 14 was around 105-110...
I just didn't have the heart to go faster because that turn 1 brakes so hard, & especially after I saw Eli's pads fused onto his front rotors.
That was fun and I plan on doing another event soon. I have two shots of you and I in turn seven, my second favorite to the exit at the Carousel. What a blast.
