Performance Driving Events ("Racing") in the DFW and Surrounding Areas
Ok here it is. I'll start this first post with links to car clubs/event sponsors that I'll use throughout the year. So I'll update this first post when necessary with new links and good info.
I haven't run with many of the AutoCross clubs yet, so I don't know if they are show up and drive deals. But the Track events register at least one month in advance.

I could be completely wrong, but that's my understanding.

If you are talking Hawk HP+ then yes those are probably sufficient ... but if you are talking Hawk HPS then I disagree as they did not perform well for me on the track as they are not designed to stand up to the extreme temperatures from a track session.
GWord256 has not had much luck with the stock brake setup on his '07 with numerous different pads.
If you just want to do pads, I might suggest the pads that Grubbs Infiniti / G3 Motorsports recently developed. Read what I posted about them here...
