[Fot] Spit/GT6 Race Pads

[Mark Fisher]

 Y'all are the best!  It is great to get the benefit of your experience.  We ran a Midwestern Council 2 hour Enduro with the Spit and our dog-eared Champcar TR7.  It was great back and forth racing, even though both cars were not at peak performance.  So much fun...

 Before you accept Jason's generous offer of uses pads, let me say that it's been my experience with the Hawk Blues that they're all done when they get to about one-third thickness.  I don't know the science of it, but under half thickness, certainly at one-third thickness, they get hard to modulate, tend to lock up and generally make life difficult.
Still love 'em.

Subject: Re: [Fot] Spit/GT6 Race Pads Mark, For your car,  with the 16P calipers I recommend the hawk blue. A consistent and maintainable set up uses a stock GT6 rotor- thickness of about .5”. True them up perfect on a rotor lathe.  The $169.00 pads should last you a minimum of 2 full race weekends if you drive your ass off going for a class win.Also, If you have any interest, I have dozens good used pads that you you are welcome to pick from anytime.Complements of Friendly Ghost Racing.—-“Probably one of the top 10 Best GT6 racecar teams of all Time”

On my Spitfire, I used Hawk Blue pads.  On my GT6, I used Carbotech Panther Plus pads.  No idea if the Panther Plus pads are still available, since that was more than 20 years ago.
