Cobalt at home on BlackHawk Farms Raceway! Video!
 
Took some time but I finally got around to editing my video on BlackHawk Farms Raceway. Overall it was a good day, with the exception of the EBC yellows not being suitable for aggressive track use, and on my 4th session my shift linkage broke, but none the less I had alot of fun.

Here is the video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO_7nJn2wh8

only reason I put music in the video is because the GoPro does not take quality sound and you can barely hear anything so I substituted in music so it wasn't boring.

:twothumbs Wish I could have heard some engine reving and tire squealing though.

I liked the point of view with the camera

Wish there was car audio, but still fun to watch. Try Cobalt XR1s. Pricey, but worth it.

So, what kinda lap times were you putting down at Blackhawk?

mron0903 06-23-2010 06:23 PM

yea I wish the gopro could take better audio but what can you do?

I'm planning on getting Hawk DTC-70s for the front and the DTC-60s for the rear.

My GF was timing my laps with a stop watch and the my best was a 1:15.36.. So far NASA TTC class record lap time is 1:21.XX

Nice vid's. Did you drive there on the yellowstuffs, or swap them in at the track. I've got a free set of them and was thinking of swapping the stock rear pads out for them yellowstuffs for auto-x/track days. Did the pads crumble/ fail, or just fade after a few laps?

I swapped them out before heading to the track hoping to bed them in. My first session out was completely horrible, they weren't completely bed in just yet and I had massive brake fad and I had to get off the track early and let them cool down.

On my second session, the brakes felt much better after going through a heat cycle but I wouldn't recommend them for aggressive track use. I had to start braking way before the first brake marker and they were very unpredictable. I had to keep adjusting my braking points.

I definitely recommend them for autox and very light hpde use.
