And while the brake rotors are over 15" in diameter, the calipers and pads are completely inadequate for the hard braking at RA.

I wasn't even going 7/10ths.....and i felt it needed more brakes!!! The tires are very inadequate...they got goopy around 4 laps....so yeah....unless you want to get Rcomps and do a brake flush and get some custom made SS brake lines.....i'd only do a few laps!
