My ebrake is about 10 clicks after I got my shoes and springs and wheel cylinders changed... it'll barely lock the tires at all. I should probably look at that lol.

The Echo's have self-adjusting drums, dont the Yarii also?

It is my understanding that they only adjust when braking in reverse, or some such silly thing like that. Doesn't really do anything on track days.

How does one navigate the paddock and never back up? Not even counting on/off the trailer I have to back into or out of my parking space at the track.

There is something else going on in his case. We used the same set of front pads for the las two seasons - less one test session on another brand. I just put on fresh pads to prep for the Runoffs, and the fronts were still 30%, the stock rears still look great.

No tailer for me, and we usually have plenty of parking to pull through, and have our gear/tent next to the car. Waterford Hills has excellent paddock to track ratio. The downside is our OTD run around 150. The track is well worth it though if anyone is ever in the area (or you live 15 min way).
