charlie, good eye- my front brakes are really big actually, and have aluminum hats also. they were on the car when I got them but I'm pretty sure they're brembo rotors. I'll have to check the records.

No, I have StopTech, but I recognize the brakes from other Andial cars and the rotor clearance from my 14" with the same wheels.

What Don said, Brembo 14s are standard equipment on the Andial setup.
CJ, it's great to see you driving and learning and improving. It reminds me of me going through the same experience. I remember the joy of finally passing those stinkin' Miatas that had been humiliating me when I was starting out.

Just a quick update from our last track outing...CJ's getting faster and faster..It's awesome watching the progression over the last year or so...braking, car control, etc....We were doing some lead follow drills and CJ had some awesome saves during "Andial" power surges...I hope CJ doesn't mind, but I have a few observations/suggestions to continue this upward trend in skill development:

1.) This whole "baseball" thing can only take your focus away from becoming a local track hero, you might want to consider an early retirement and go out on your own terms..
2. ) Next contract negotiations I think you need a no "Fri-Sun" clause...That one's pretty simple, you only work Mon-Thurs. as to not interfere with our track days (this clause only works if you choose against option #1)
3.) You're only 27, so, MLB isn't going anywhere anytime soon and they say a pitcher's prime is between what 30-33?? You become a track rat for 3 years, let the arm rest, give it some time off and then go back..??

Should I be an agent?

C.J., I have a GT3RSR coming, should be here in late March beginning of April and I will do some races in the ALMS series, get your license and join me! I did not race for 10 years but now the bug got me again and and I can't wait just talked to Andial regarding my GT2 3.8 and I will be in Socal in a week or 2. Let's hook up and talk cars

dude- RSR...wow those are amazing! extra wide, loud and bad ***.

I was supposed to go to socal on the 12th for a few days, then changed to east coast on the 10th, now I have to go to the east coast on the 15th. I hate last minute scheduling!

how long of a process is it to get the proper licensing for ALMS?

andial told me they're still working on special projects for special customers...PM details about your gt2- I'd like to have them build one for me too if I find the right donor TT.
