@clipsekidA few years ago I took my s14 up there with stock pads. Half way down the mountain my brakes near gave up on me all together. However, you are familiar with Hawk HPS pads which is exactly what Im running on my Corolla. You'll be happy to know that I experienced VERY little fade. If I wasn't running Centerline wheels (they dont have any air vents; solid face) then I expect I wouldn't have experienced any fade at all.Running good, reliable pads makes the experience of the Dragon just that more enjoyable and far less stressful.

experience any brake fade? I live about 15 minutes from the dragon so I hit it up when I can, except when I really push it I get major brake fade towards the end. I need to put my hawk hps pads on soon

Thank you :)You really should and in the near future. Im hearing rumors that there's plan to run a new interstate from Savannah to Knoxville which will go straight through the middle of the Dragon. So it may not be around too much longer.

I still haven't been able to get my hands from Day One's footage. So rather than waiting I went ahead and put together a quick edit from Day Two's activities. Its kinda long (22mins), in case you want to skip ahead the 10:30 mark is fairly entertaining. Creepy hillbilly on the loose! And the best driving/run is towards the end at the 16:00 mark.
