Yep. I installed brand new rotors right before last month's track event and I found cracks later that day!

I'm cool with that. the most central track on the east would have to be VIR, I have a trailer so I'm down to go whereever as long as it's at least somewhat central.

July 16-17 Our Porsche club is meeting at Road America.
Will you be there for that one?? I have never been to RA and am bored
with Brainerd so I am looking forward to it. I hear it is wonderful for
high speed cars like ours...

do any of you guys keep your AWD while tracking and if not how does the car feel on the same track with RWD as opposed to AWD.

Most people do not break nearly hard enough and are slow on the track. When you start to go fast, you have no choice but to slow our heavy cars down to make the turns ... and the brakes (and tires) suffer accordingly.

I agree, well said Tim
