Hi Chills,

I'll be at BFR that day...I'm a Chicago Region instructor (last 8-9 years) and will have my 911 (green #72) there, as well. Do flush your brakes and even look into a slightly more aggressive pad than OEM. Blackhawk is very hard on brakes and a 986 is certainly not the lightest of cars. If you plan to do more than one or two events, pick up a set of Pagid orange pads or comparable. The new owners of BFR have made some nice improvements and the track has been repaved since you last visited. You will not be the only Boxster; we've been getting quite a few at our events and BFR is a great track for the car. You will also be OK without the rollbar extension; our region does not require them. I assume you will run with stock belts...not the best, but it's also acceptable in the novice groups.

Jerry Matta
