Attended (as a guest) Driver's Club Member Day at NJ Motorsports Park. Two tracks there, we were using Lightning, 1.9 miles, 10 turns. First time on the track for me, so drove in the novice group with a pace car. I ran three 20-25 minute sessions, getting progressively faster. Last one was as fast as I could go. Car ran well though the bends really gave my road tires a workout. Max speed on the straight was 110 mph for me, the car was still accelerating nicely but not enough straight to really wind up. I use Porterfield R4-S pads and they did a great job. Pics below of the track and from my car as I was lining up behind pit row waiting to get out on the track.
