What group are you going with? CMP's a great track, I'm hoping to hit it up at least twice next year! On my 330i, it ate my brakes badly, how do you Z06 drivers usually fare?

CMP Track Day

Yes, that would be Carolina Motorsports Park
http://www.carolinamotorsportspark.com

I've spent several weekends there for DEs. Fun track but hard on brakes. A 2 day DE will completely wear out a set of Carbotech race pads. I have DRM brake ducts and stainless steel pistons in the calipers but I still have to replace the rubber boots around the pistons due to heat damage. Also, the heat from the rotors will melt the rubber boots on the tie rod ends unless you wrap them with heat tape. Fresh high temp brake fluid is a must.

Exactly what was said about this track and brakes. Bring an extra set of pads and extra fluid and be prepared to change before the end of the 2nd day.
Fun track but brutal on brakes.
