FDfranklin, if you've never been on a track before, you definitely want to get some instruction. I've done a one-day track school, an Evo school, and been autocrossing for close to 3 years, and if not for Loren's instruction likely would've killed the car, me, him, or any combination of the parts. Don't just head on out there - get a coach.

Loren, I can't go in Sept, but my brake pads can if they'll fit (I don't recall what year the beater is...).
