Spent the weekend at PittRace with Chin and had a blast. Weather report all weekend was ITS GONNA RAIN but it never did during the day.

Got home to learn that the June 8 event at Summit was cancelled so the world's greatest wife said go to VIR the 4th and 5th instead so, well, orders are orders.

I'm still tired from PittRace and I need to do some work on the car. Life is so hard sometimes. Borderline unfair.

But doing tech inspection is a waste of time! My car is running fine. Everything feels good! What a bother.

$46 for a pair after tax. But I have the set I took off to try these that my misguided former mechanic bought on my behalf without checking with me. I think I got slightly better pad life with the drilled and slotted but waaay shorter rotor life. If I would do anything other than plain iron it would be slotted only.
